The Trajectory of a Simple Projectile is a Parabola For Prof. Osama Shalabeia Associate Prof. Ali Ibrahim 2014 -2015 1 Preface General Physics is written for a one-year course in introductory physics usually taken by students majoring in physics, chemistry, medical students and technical fields. The mathematical techniques used in this book include algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, but not calculus. We have refined the text to better meet the needs of students and teachers. This textbook, (Chapters 1–7) deal with Newtonian mechanics. The main objectives of this introductory textbook are twofold: to provide the student with a clear and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles of physics, and to strengthen an understanding of the concepts and principles through a broad range of interesting applications to the real world. To meet those objectives, we have emphasized sound physical arguments and problem-solving methodology. At the same time we have attempted to motivate the student through practical examples that demonstrate the role of physics in other disciplines. 2 Contents Introduction 7 Chapter 1 Units and Dimensions 1-1 System of Units 11 1-2 Mass Units 13 1-3 Length Units 13 1-4 Time Units 13 1-5 Consistency of Units 14 1-6 Units Conversion 15 2 Dimensions 17 2-1 Dimensional Analysis 17 3- Exercises 22 Chapter 2 Vectors 2-1 Vectors Properties 29 2-1-1 Adding and Subtracting Vectors Graphically 25 2-1-2 Unit Vectors 27 2-1-3 How to describe a two-dimension vector? 27 2-1-4 Vector Components 27 2-1-5 Properties of Vector Components 28 3 2-1-6 Addition &Subtraction of Vectors by means of Components 28 2-2 Multiplying and Dividing a Vector by a Scalar 31 2-3 The Scalar Product of Vectors (dot product ) 32 2-4 The Vector Product (cross product) 33 2-5 Exercises 34 Chapter 3 Motion in One and Two Dimensions 3-1 Motion in One Dimension 45 3-1-1 Displacement 45 3-1-2 Average Velocity 45 3-1-3 Instantaneous Velocity 46 3-1-4 Acceleration 47 3-2 50 One Dimensional Motion with Constant Acceleration 3.2.1 Derivation of Kinematics Equations of Motion 3.2.2 Vertically Thrown Up and Freely Falling Bodies 3.3 Motion in Two Dimensions 50 Motion 56 61 3.3.1 Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration in 2-Dimensions 4 61 3.4 Projectile Motion 65 Horizontal Range and Maximum Height of a Projectile 68 Chapter 4 Newton's Laws of Motion 4.1 Force and Fundamental Forces of Nature 83 4.1.1 Force 83 4.1.2 The fundamental Forces of Nature 87 4.2 Newton's First Law 88 4.3 Newton's Second Law 88 4.4 Newton's Third Law 90 4.5 Frictions 91 4.6 Experimental Facts about Friction 92 4.7 Applications of Newton's Laws 93 4.8 Problem Solving Strategy 93 4.9 Solved Problems 94 4.10 Exercises 108 Chapter 5 Work, Energy and Power 5-1 Work 113 5-2 Kinetic Energy and the Work Energy Theorem 115 5 5-3 Gravitational Potential Energy 118 5-4 Potential Energy Stored in a Spring 118 5-5 Conservation Laws 120 5-5-1 Conservative and Non-Conservative Forces 120 5-5-2 The Conservation of Mechanical Energy 121 5-5-3 Non-Conservative Forces and the Work-Energy Theorem 121 5-6 Power 125 5-7 Solved Examples 125 5-8 Exercises 130 Chapter 6 Linear Momentum, Impulse and Collisions 6-1 Linear Momentum and Impulse 134 6-2 Conservation of Linear Momentum for Two particle system 135 6-3 Collisions and Kinetic Energy 138 6-3-1 Types of Collisions 138 6-3-2 Head on Collisions and Glancing Collisions 140 6.4 Solved Examples 142 6-5 The Center of mass 153 6-6 Exercises 156 6 Chapter 7 Rotation of Rigid Bodies 7-1 Introduction 160 7-2 Angular Velocity and Acceleration 161 7-3 Formulae for Constant Angular Acceleration 162 7-4 Relationship between Linear and Angular Quantities 162 7-5 Centripetal Acceleration 164 7-6 Solved Problems 165 7-7 170 Exercises 7 Introduction Why PHYSICS is important? It is clearly important that students need to know why Physics is important and what careers or other benefits may stem from studying physics. Without an understanding of the basic physics of the problem, we would be setting in the dark, so why is Physics important? This is because none of these today’s amazing technologies (electricity, computers, X-ray, mobile, internet, artificial satellites, laser,..etc) would be possible without Physics. A firm grasp of Physics is needed to be able to even begin thinking about producing such technologies. Engineers of today design buildings, bridges, computers, simple robots, aircraft and almost all of the objects that surround us. While these kinds of engineers will never go away, we will need to add new fields of engineering to accommodate the production of advanced technologies. None of these will be possible unless interested and capable minds pursue an education in physics. What is Physics? Indeed, many students find it difficult to even define physics. Physics is one of the fundamental (or Natural) sciences (Mathematics, Physics, and chemistry). It is interested in understanding natural phenomena that occur in our universe and find out the fundamental laws of such natural phenomena and their applications. It is often considered the most fundamental of all the natural sciences and its theories attempt to describe the behavior of the smallest building blocks of matter(molecules, atoms, nuclei, light)up to the Universe and everything in between. 8 Physical quantities A physical quantity is a physical property of a phenomenon, body, or substances that can be quantified by measuring Physical quantities are divided into two types: i. ii. Fundamental quantities, such as Length, Mass and Time. Derived quantities, from fundamental quantities either by multiplication or division such as velocity, volume, area, .etc. For any physical quantity, it must have units and dimensions. It must also be defined either in scalar units (magnitude only) or vector units (magnitude and direction).The following schematic figure shows the basic properties of any physical quantity. Units Dimensions Physical Quantities PhysicalQuantities Vectors Scalars Figure: 1 the properties of physical quantities The following are some examples which state some of natural phenomena that Physics is interested in and applied to our daily life: 1234- Medical- Geo- and Biophysics Laser physics and its applications The motion of Earth around its axis ( i.e., day and night) Revolution of the moon around the Earth 9 56789- Projectile motion and rockets Artificial Satellites and communication systems, Lighting and sparing Solar Eclipses Electromagnetism 10 Chapter 1 UNITS AND DIMENSIONS 1-1 System of Units 1-2 Mass Units 1-3 Length Units 1-4 Time Units 1-5 Consistency of Units 1-6 Units Conversion 2 Dimensions 2-1 Dimensional Analysis 2-2 Solved Problems 3 Exercises 11 UNITS AND DIMENSIONS Objectives To know the difference between units and dimensions To be able to convert units To understand the SI (System Internationale) of units To know the SI prefixes from nano- to gigaTo understand and apply the concept of dimensional analysis 1-1 System of Units There are three different systems of units that are most commonly used : Meter- Kilogram- Second or (MKS) or System International (SI) units. The laboratory system Centimeter-Gram- Second or (CGS) system. The Foot- Pound- Second or (FPS) British system. The system of SI is the most commonly used all over the world. This systemis based on powers of 10. In order to change from one unit to another in the metric system it is a matter of multiplying or dividing by powers of 10. We can also, specify various units by the use of prefixes. These prefixes and their meanings must be memorized. Table 1 shows the SI prefixes:- 12 Table 1: SI prefixes Factor Name Symbol Factor Name Symbol 1024 Yotta Y 10-1 Deci D 1021 Zeta Z 10-2 Centi C 1018 Exa E 10-3 Milli 1015 Peta P 10-6 Micro µ 1012 Tera T 10-9 Nano N 109 Giga G 10-12 Pico 106 Mega M 10-15 Femto F 103 Kilo K 10-18 Atto 102 Hector H 10-21 Zepto Z 101 Deka Da 10-24 Yocto Y M P A Consequently, once you know these prefixes, you can convert from one unit to another. 1-2 Mass units It is important to understand the concept of mass. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter that an object contains. This is not to be confused with weight, which is a measure of the gravitational pull of the earth on a mass. There is a related system of units called SI. In SI, the unit of mass is the Kilogram (103 grams), where the kilogram is defined as the mass of a particular cylinder of platinum-iridium alloy that is kept under controlled atmospheric conditions at the International Agency of Weights and Measure in France. 13 1-3 Length units In the SI system, the unit of length is the meter (m). The definition of length was originally the one ten-thousandth of the distance from the North Pole to the Equator through Paris, France. It is currently defined as a given number of wavelengths of the emitted light from a Cesium atom. This is a more accurate and reproducible way of defining a unit of length. 1-4 Time units In the system of SI, the unit of time is the second. The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the 133Cs atom. Ampere, unit of electric current The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight and parallel conductors of infinite lengths, of negligible circular cross- section, and placed 1 meter apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2x10-7Newton per unit length. Kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature The Kelvin, unit of thermodynamic temperature, is the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water. Mole, unit of amount of substance The mole is the amount of substance of a system that contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilograms of C12. When the mole is used, the elementary entities must be specified and may be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, other particles, or specified groups of such particles. Candela, unit of luminous intensity 14 The candela is the luminous intensity of a source that emits monochromatic radiation of frequency 540 x 1012 Hertz and that has a radiant intensity of 1/1687 Watt per steradian. 1-5 Consistency of Units Principle of consistency of units: units on the left side of an equation must be the same as those on the right side of an equation dimensional homogeneity When using units in Mathematics operations: Adding numbers with units, they must have the same units— also the same for subtraction Multiply or dividing numbers with units, also the units multiply and divide Never add or subtract terms with different dimensions For examples 1- 12 m (length) x 12 m (length) = 144 m2 (area) 2- 3.0 m(Length) / 3 s (time) = 1.0 m/s (velocity) 3- 0.1 g (mass) / 10 s (time) = 0.001 g / s (flow rate) OK OK OK 4- 10 Kg (mass) + 10 m (length) Wrong 1-6 Units Conversion We often need to change the units in which a physical quantity is expressed. We do so by a method called Chain- Link Method of conversion. In this method, we multiply the original measurement by a conversion factor (a ratio of units that is equal to one). This method can be used to convert from a unit to another. For example, because 1 min and 60 seconds is the same time intervals, this is not the same as writing 1/60 min. = 1 s or 60=1; the number and its unit must 15 be treated together. Another example 1 meter and 100 centimeter are the same length but we cannot write 1/100 =1 or 100=1 as just numbers, again dealing with physical quantities the number and its unit must be treated together. Because multiplying any quantity by unity (by one) leaves it unchanged, we can use such conversion factors, wherever we find them useful. In chain-link conversion method, we use the factors in such a way that the unwanted units cancel out. Example 1-1 How many seconds are in 2 minutes? Solution: 2 min 2 min . 60s 120s 1 min Example 1-2 Which of the following is correct? a. There are exactly 100 m/cm. b. There are exactly 100 cm/m. c. Neither a not b. (Do it yourself) Example 1-3 How many seconds are in 2.0 years? Solution: 16 Example 1-4 The density of water is 1g/cm3. What is the density of water in MKS system? Solution We know that 1 g = 10-3 Kg and 1 cm3 = 10-6 m3 103 Kg / g 1g / cm x 6 3 103 Kg / m 3 3 10 m / cm 3 Homework i. ii. iii. iv. v. How many millimeters are in 20.0 meters? How many square centimeters are in an area 6 km2? The volume of a box is 6.30 m3. This is equivalent to how many cubic nanometers? 120 Km/h =……………….m/s. A car moves with a constant speed of 90 km/hr. Find this speed in terms of m/s, km/min, and mi/hr (Hint: 1 km = 3281 ft , while 1 mile = 1. 609 km). 2- Dimensions The term Dimensional Analysis makes use of the idea that dimensions may be treated as algebraic quantities. It helps us to check the relationship of various quantities either correct or non-correct also, and to: i. Verify Physical Equations ii. Deduce Physical Equations iii. Deduce the dimensions of Physical Constants 17 2-1 Dimensional Analysis Dimensions and units can be treated algebraically Variable from Eq. x M t L M T Dimension[ ] Length Mass V=(xf-xi)/t a=(vf-vi)/t L/T L/T2 Time Base Units of the International System (SI) Fundamental Dimension Base Unit length [L] meter (m) mass [M] kilogram (kg) time [T] second (s) electric current [A] ampere (A) absolute temperature [Ө] kelvin (K) Supplementary SI Dimensions Supplementary Dimension Base Unit Plane angle Plane angle Solid angle Solid angle Example 1-5 Check dimensionally (correct or not) the following equation: 18 t 2 l g Where t is the periodic time of a simple pendulum of length l and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Solution: The dimensions of the left hand side = [L H S] = [ t ] = [ T ] ………………...(1) The dimensions of the right hand side = [R H S] = [ l/g ]1/2 = [ L/LT-2 ] = [ T ]…... (2) From 1 and 2, The equation is dimensionally correct Example 1-6 Do it yourself Checking equations with dimensional analysis: (x is the distance, v velocity, a acceleration, and t time) • Each term must have the same dimension • Two variables cannot be added if dimensions are different • Multiplying variables is always fine • Numbers (e.g. 1/2 or π) are dimensionless Example 1-7 A body exerts a force of magnitude 8 x 107 dyne to push a body along a flat surface with a constant speed. Express this force in Newton. ( Hint: 1 dyne = 1 g. cm/ s2). Solution 19 F = 8 x 107 dyne = 8 x 107 g. cm/s2 But we know that:1 g = 10 -3 Kg and 1 cm = 10-2 m F 8x 107 g .cm / s 2 x 103 Kg / g x 102 m / cm 800Kg .m / s 2 (N ) Example 1-8 Consider the following equation: v2 mM m G 2 r r Where m and M are masses, r is a radius and v is a velocity. What are the dimensions of G? Solution From the above equation:- then G= v2 r/ M Then the Si units of G is (m/s)2 m/Kg, so it will be m3/ Kg. s2 As a result of this the dimensions of [G] = [L3. M-1. T-2] Example 1-9 If“x” has dimensions of distance, “v" has dimensions of velocity, “m” has dimensions of mass and “g” has dimensions of acceleration. Is the following equation dimensionally valid? x 4 3 vt 1 2 gt 2 / x Solution 20 The equation will be valid if and only if the dimensions of the L.H.S are equal to the dimensions of R. H.S. Then [L. H.S]= [x] = [L] While [R. H.S] = [ (1) 4 3 vt 1 2 gt / x 2 ] = [LT-1. T+1]/[L. T-2. T+2. L-1]= [L] (2) From 1 and 2 , then [L.H.S] = [R. H.S] . So the equation is VALID Note • • • • • Dimensions: L, T, M, L/T … Units: m, mm, cm, kg, g, mg, s, hr, years … When the equation is all algebra: check the dimensions When the numbers are inserted: check the units Units obey the same rules as dimensions: Never add terms with different units • Angles are dimensionless but have units (degrees or radians) • In Physics sin () or cos() never occur unless is dimensionless. Example 1-10 Find the units of the constants A and B in the following equation: v At Bt 2 , where t is time (s) and v is the speed (m/s). Solution In the above equation, each term of the R. H. S must have the same dimensions of speed as the L. H. S. Therefore, So that:[At]= [v] = [L.T-1] 21 But [t] = [T], thus [A] T = [L. T-1] That implies to [A] = [L. T-2] , then the unit of the constant A is m/s2. Similarly, for the constant B, we have [B t3] = [v] = [L. T-1] So that, [B] T3 = [L. T-1], that implies to [B] = [L T-4], then the unit of the constant B is m/s4. Example 1-11 A particle moving in a circle of radius r with constant speed v undergoes an acceleration a . Express this acceleration in terms of v and r. Solution First of all, we begin by expressing the acceleration a in terms of the other quantities as follows: a= k vxry Where k is some dimensionless constant while x and y are to be determined. Next we insert the dimensions of each quantity where [a] is [L. T-2] , [v] is [L.T-1] and [r] is [L]: [RHS] = [LHS] [L.T-2] = [L.T-1]x . [L]y By comparing both sides, we get: For L: 1 = x+y For T: 2=x 22 These equations are easily solved and yield x = 2 and y = -1. Therefore the acceleration is defined as: a = k v2r-1 v2 or a k r 23 3- Exercises 1-The speed of light in a vacuum is 0.300 Gm/s.

Vectors properties A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude (size) and a direction. Both of these properties must be given in order to specify a vector completely. In this section, we describe how to write down vectors, how to add and subtract them, and how to use them in physical problems. An example of a vector quantity is a displacement. This tells us how far we are from a fixed point; it also tells us our direction relative to that point. A quantity with magnitude only, but no direction, is not a vector, it is called a scalar quantity. An example of scalar is distance. This tells us how far we are from a fixed point, but does not give us any information about the direction. Then, the Vector has both magnitude and direction, and both these properties must be given in order to specify it. Vectors, such as displacement, have both magnitude and direction (5 m, north) and obey the rules of vector algebra. A quantity with magnitude but no direction is the Scalar. Scalars, such as temperature, have magnitude only. They are specified by a number with a unit (such as 10°C) and obey the rules of arithmetic and ordinary algebra. Not all physical quantities involve a direction. Temperature, pressure, 32 energy, mass, and time, for example, does not “point” in the spatial sense. We call such quantities scalars, and we deal with them by the rules of ordinary algebra. A single value, with a sign (as in a temperature of 40°F), specifies a scalar. 2.1.1Adding and subtracting Vectors Graphically Two vectors and may be added geometrically by drawing them to a common scale and placing those head to tail. The vector connecting the tail of the first to the head of the second is the vector sum . To subtract , reverse the direction of to get - ; then add from to - .Vector additionis commutative and obeys the associative law. A variety of mathematical operations can be performed with and upon vectors. One such operation is the addition of vectors. Two vectors can be added together to determine the result (or resultant). This process of adding two or more vectors has already been discussed in an earlier unit. Recall in our discussion of Newton's laws of motion, that the net force experienced by an object was determined by computing the vector sum of all the individual forces acting upon that object. That is the net force was the result (or resultant) of adding up all the force vectors. During that unit, the rules for summing vectors (such as force vectors) were kept relatively simple. Observe the following summations of two force vectors: 33 These rules for summing vectors were applied to free-body diagrams in order to determine the net force (i.e., the vector sum of all the individual forces). Sample applications are shown in the diagram below. In this section, the task of summing vectors will be extended to more complicated cases in which the vectors are directed in directions other than purely vertical and horizontal directions. For example, a vector directed up and to the right will be added to a vector directed up and to the left. The vector sum will be determined for the more complicated cases shown in the diagrams below. 34 There are a variety of methods for determining the magnitude and direction of the result of adding two or more vectors. Example 2-1 Eric leaves the base camp and hikes 11 km, north and then hikes 11 km east. Determine Eric's resulting displacement. Solution:This problem asks to determine the result of adding two displacement vectors that are at right angles to each other. The result (or resultant) of walking 11 km north and 11 km east is a vector directed northeast as shown in the diagram to the right. Since the northward displacement and the eastward displacement are at right angles to each other, the Pythagorean Theorem can be used to determine the resultant (i.e., the hypotenuse of the right triangle). 35 The result of adding 11 km, north plus 11 km, east is a vector with a magnitude of 15.6 km. The magnitude and direction of the sum of two or more vectors can also be determined by use of an accurately drawn scaled vector diagram. Using a scaled diagram, the head-to-tail method is employed to determine the vector sum or resultant. A common Physics lab involves a vector walk. Either using centimeter-sized displacements upon a map or meter-sized displacements in a large open area, a student makes several consecutive displacements beginning from a designated starting position. Suppose that you were given a map of your local area and a set of 18 directions to follow. Starting at home base, these 18 displacement vectors could be added together in consecutive fashion to determine the result of adding the set of 18 directions. Perhaps the first vector is measured 5 cm, East. Where this measurement ended, the next measurement would begin. The process would be repeated for all 18 directions. Each time one measurement ended, the next measurement would begin. In essence, you would be using the head-to-tail method of vector addition. 36 The head-to-tail method involves drawing a vector to scale on a sheet of paper beginning at a designated starting position. Where the head of this first vector ends, the tail of the second vector begins (thus, head-to-tail method). The process is repeated for all vectors that are being added. Once all the vectors have been added head-to-tail, the resultant is then drawn from the tail of the first vector to the head of the last vector; i.e., from start to finish. Once the resultant is drawn, its length can be measured and converted to real units using the given scale. The direction of the resultant can be determined by using a protractor and measuring its counterclockwise angle of rotation from due East. A step-by-step method for applying the head-to-tail method to determine the sum of two or more vectors is given below. 1. Choose a scale and indicate it on a sheet of paper. The best choice of scale is one that will result in a diagram that is as large as possible, yet fits on the sheet of paper. 2. Pick a starting location and draw the first vector to scale in the indicated direction. Label the magnitude and direction of the scale on the diagram (e.g., SCALE: 1 cm = 20 m). 3. Starting from where the head of the first vector ends, draw the second vector to scale in the indicated direction. Label the magnitude and direction of this vector on the diagram. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all vectors that are to be added 5. Draw the resultant from the tail of the first vector to the head of the last vector. Label this vector as Resultant or simply R. 37 6. Using a ruler, measure the length of the resultant and determine its magnitude by converting to real units using the scale (4.4 cm x 20 m/1 cm = 88 m). 7. Measure the direction of the resultant using the counterclockwise convention discussed earlier in this chapter. An example of the use of the head-to-tail method is illustrated below. The problem involves the addition of three vectors: 20 m, 45 deg. + 25 m, 300 deg. + 15 m, 210 deg. SCALE: 1 cm = 5 m The head-to-tail method is employed as described above and the resultant is determined (drawn in red). Its magnitude and direction is labeled on the diagram. SCALE: 1 cm = 5 m 38 Interestingly enough, the order in which three vectors are added has no effect upon either the magnitude or the direction of the resultant. The resultant will still have the same magnitude and direction. For example, consider the addition of the same three vectors in a different order. 15 m, 210 deg. + 25 m, 300 deg. + 20 m, 45 deg. SCALE: 1 cm = 5 m 39 When added together in this different order, these same three vectors still produce a resultant with the same magnitude and direction as before (20. m, 312 degrees). The order in which vectors are added using the head-to-tail method is insignificant. SCALE: 1 cm = 5 m General procedure for adding two vectors graphically: • On paper, sketch vector to some convenient scale and at the proper angle. • Sketch vector to the same scale, with its tail at the head of vector, again at the proper angle. • The vector sum is the vector that extends from the tail of to the head of .

The vector components of the vector depend on the orientation of the axes used as a reference. A scalar is a mathematical quantity whose value does not depend on the orientation of a coordinate system. The magnitude of a vector is a true scalar since it does not change when the coordinate axis is rotated. However, the components of vector (Ax, Ay) and (Ax′, Ay′), are not scalars. 42 iii. iv. It is possible for one of the components of a vector to be zero. However, this does not mean that the vector itself is zero. For a vector to be zero, every vector component must individually be zero. Two vectors are equal if, and only if, they have the same magnitude and direction Components of vector Example 2-2 A displacement vector r has a magnitude of r= 175 m and points at an angle of 50° relative to the x axis as in Figure.

The Zero Vector and its Properties 48 Zero vector or null vector is a vector which has zero magnitude and an arbitrary direction. It is represented by result is a zero vector. . If a vector is multiplied by zero, the It is important to note that we cannot take the above result to be a number, the result has to be a vector and here lies the importance of the zero or null vector. The physical meaning of 2.2 can be understood from the following examples. The position vector of the origin of the coordinate axes is a zero vector. The displacement of a stationary particle from time t to time t is zero. The displacement of a ball thrown up and received back by the thrower is a zero vector. The velocity vector of a stationary body is a zero vector. The acceleration vector of a body in uniform motion is a zero vector.

We introduce definitions for displacement, velocity and acceleration, and derive equations of motion for bodies moving in one dimension with constant acceleration. We apply these equations to the situation of a body moving under the influence of gravity alone. 3.1.1 Displacement Definition: Displacement is the change in position, x x f x i Where: x f is the final position and xi is the initial position. The arrow indicates that displacement is a vector quantity: it has direction and magnitude. In one dimension; there are only two possible directions which can be specified with either a plus or a minus sign. Other examples of vectors are velocity, acceleration and force. In contrast, scalar quantities have only magnitude. Some examples of scalars are speed, mass, temperature and energy. 3.1.2 Average Velocity Definition: Average Velocity is the displacement over total time. Mathematically: v x x f xi change in displaceme nt t t f ti change in time (3.1) the overbar is frequently used to denote an average quantity t is always > 0 so the sign of depends only on the sign of x . Graphical interpretation of velocity: Consider 1- D motion, from point P (with coordinates x1 ,t1 ) to point Q (at x2 , t2 ). We can plot the trajectory on a graph (see Figure 3.1). 60 Figure 3.1: Graphical interpretation of velocity P X1 Q X2 Then from Eq. (3.1) is just the slope of the line joining P and Q. 3.1.3 Instantaneous Velocity Definition: Instantaneous velocity is defined mathematically: x t 0 t v lim or (3.2) Table 2.1:- provides data on the position of a runner on a track at various times. t(s) 1.00 1.01 1.10 1.20 1.50 2.00 3.00 x(m) 1.00 1.02 1.21 1.44 2.25 4.00 9.00 Find:- the runner's instantaneous velocity at t = 1.00 s?. As a first estimate, calculate the average velocity for the total observed part of the run?. We have: v x 9.00m 1.00m 4m / s t 3.00s 1.00s (3-3) 61 From the definition of instantaneous velocity Eq.(3.2), we can get a better approximation by taking a shorter time interval. The best approximation we can get from this data gives, v x 1.02m 1.00m 2m / s t 1.01s 1.00s (3-4) We can interpret the instantaneous velocity graphically as follows: Recall that the average velocity is the slope of the line joining P and Q (from Figure 3.1). To get the instantaneous velocity, we need to take t 0, or P Q. When P Q, the line joining P and Q approaches the tangent to the curve at P (or Q), Thus the slope of the tangent at P is the instantaneous velocity at P. Note that if the trajectory were a straight line, we would get v = , the same for all t . Note: Instantaneous velocity gives more information than average velocity. The magnitude of the velocity (either average or instantaneous) is referred to as the speed. 3.1.4 Acceleration Definition: Average acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time: a v v f v i t tf ti (3.5) Definition: Instantaneous acceleration is calculated by taking shorter and shorter time intervals, i.e. taking t 0: v t 0 t a lim or (3-6) Note: 62 Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. When velocity and acceleration are in the same direction, speed increases with time. When velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions, speed decreases with time. Graphical interpretation of acceleration as shown in the figure below: on a graph of v versus t , the average acceleration between P and Q is the slope of the line between P and Q, and the instantaneous acceleration at P is the tangent to the curve at P as shown in the figure. From now on ``velocity'' and ``acceleration'' will refer to the instantaneous quantities. Q P Example 3-1: The velocity of a particle moving along the x axis varies in time according to the expression v=(40 - 5t 2) m/s, where t is in seconds. Find: 1) The average acceleration in the time interval t=0 to t=2.0 s. 2) The instantaneous acceleration at t =2.0 s Solution: 1) The average acceleration is given by: 63 aav Δv vf vi v(t 2s) v(t 0s) (40 5 2 2 ) (40 5 0) 20 10m / s 2 Δt t f ti 20 2 2 2) By differentiating, the instantaneous acceleration a dv d ( 40 5t 2 ) 10t dt dt At t=2s, a(t=2s)=-20m/s2 Thus, the particle is slowing down. Example 3-2: The position, x (in m), of an object that moves along a straight line is changing with time, t (in sec), as follows: x = 16 − 12t + 2t2 1)Make a plot of the acceleration, a (in m/s2), vs. time from t= 0 to t= 6. 2) What is the instantaneous velocity at t = 0, +2, and +4? 3)What is the instantaneous acceleration at t = 0, +2, and +4? 4) When is the velocity zero, and what then is the x position of the object? 5) What is the average velocity between t = 0 and t = +6? Solution: 1) By differentiating, a(t) = 4 m/s2(see plot) 2) v(0)=-12m/s, v(2)=-4m/s and v(4)=4m/s 3) a(0)=a(2)=a(4)=4m/s2. 64 Figure 4) v(t)=0 = −12 + 4t, to find that t=3s. The position of the object when the velocity is 0 is x(3) =-2 m. To summarize: x(3) = -2m, v(3)= 0m/s and of course a(3)=4m/s2. 5) The average velocity between two times is defined as vav Δx x(6) x(0) 16 16 0(m / s) Δt 6 (0) 6 3.2 One Dimensional Motion with Constant Acceleration Constant acceleration means velocity increases or decreases at the same rate throughout the motion. Example: an object falling near the earth's surface (neglecting air resistance). 3.2.1 Derivation of Kinematics Equations of Motion Choose ti =0, xi= 0, vi=v0 , and write xf= x , vf= vand tf= t . a = constant a = . Then Eq.(3.5) a = v-v0/tor v = v0 + at (3.7) a = constant v changes uniformly = 1/2 (v0 + v). From Eq.(3.1) = x/t . Combining: x = t = ½ (v0 + v)t . Using Eq.(3.7) we get: (3.8) x = v0 t + ½ at2 Eq.(3.7) t = (v - v0)/a . Substitute into Eq.(3.8) x = (v + v0)(v - v0)/(2a) or, (3.9) v 2 = v02 + 2ax Note that only two of these equations are independent. 65 Example 3-3 : An automobile initially traveling at 50 (km/h) crashes into a stationary, rigid barrier. The front end of the automobile crumples, and the passenger compartment comes to rest after advancing by 0.40 m, assuming constant acceleration during the crash: 1) What is the value of the acceleration? 2) How long does it take the passenger compartment to stop? Solution: The known quantities are the initial velocity vo = 50 km/h just before the automobile comes in contact with the barrier, the final velocity (v = 0 when the passenger compartment comes to rest), and the change of position of the passenger compartment (x-x0=0.4 m). 1) To find the acceleration, we use the equation: a v 2 v02 2( x x0 ) v0 50 1000 /(60 60) 13.9m / s a v 2 v02 0 2 (13.9)2 240m / s2 2( x x0 ) 2(0.4) This is a large deceleration. A passenger involved in such a crash would suffer severe injuries, unless well restrained by a snug seat belt or an air bag. 2) To calculate the time the passenger compartment takes to stop, from Eq. (3.7): 66 v v0 at t v v0 0 13.9 0.058s a 240 Example 3-4 : The minimum distance required to stop a car moving at 35.0 (mi/h) is 40.0 ft. What is the minimum stopping distance for the same car moving at 70.0 (mi/h) , assuming the same rate of acceleration? Solution: The known quantities are: v 35mi / h 35 1.609 56.315km / h 35 1609 /(3600) 15.64m / s xstop 40.0 ft 40 0.3048m 12.16m The acceleration of the car is: a v 2 v02 0 (15.64)2 10.06m / s 2 2( x x0 ) 2 12.16 For the same car moving atv = 70 mi/h = 31.28 m/swith the same acceleration, the 2 2 stopping distance is given by: v v 0 2a(x x 0 ) v 2 v02 2a( x x0 ) x ( x f x0 ) v2 v20 0 ( 31.28)2 48.63m 2a 2 (10.06) Example 3-5 : A car is approaching a hill at 30.0 m/s when its engine suddenly fails, just at the bottom of the hill. The car moves with a constant acceleration of a = 2 m/s2 while coasting up the hill: 1) Write equations for the position along the slope and for the velocity as functions of time, taking x = 0 at the bottom of the hill, where v0 = 30 m/s. 2) Determine the maximum distance the car travels up the hill. Solution: 67 The known quantities are: v0 30m / s, a -2m/s2 and x0 0m 1) Along the slope the equation of position and velocity are respectively: x 1 1 2 at v0t x0 x ( 2)t 2 30t 0 t 2 30t 2 2 v v0 at v 30 2t 2) If the car becomes at rest: v 0 30 2t t rest 30 15s 2 Therefore, the maximum distance traveled by the car is: xmax 1 2 at v0t x0 (15) 2 30 (15) 225m 2 Example 3-6: A car travelling at a constant speed of 30 m/s passes a police car at rest. The policeman starts to move at the moment the speeder passes his car and accelerates at a constant rate of 3.0 m/o s2 until he pulls even with the speeding car. Find i. ii. The time required for the policeman to catch the speeder, The distance travelled during the chase. Solution: We are given, for the speeder: V0s = 30 m/s as = 0 And for the policeman: v0p ap = = 0 m/s 3.0 m/s2. 68 a) Distance travelled by the speeder xs = vst = (30)t . Distance travelled by policeman xp = v0p + 1/2 apt2 = 1/2 (3.0)t2. When the policeman catches the speeder xs = xp or, 30t = ½ (3.0)t2. Solving for t we have t = 0 or t = 2/3 (30) = 20 s . The first solution tells us that the speeder and the policeman started at the same point at t = 0, and the second one tells us that it takes 20 s for the policeman to catch up to the speeder. b) Substituting back in above we find, xs= 30(20) = 600 m And, xp = 1//2 (3.0)(20)2 = 600 m = xs. Example 3-7: A car decelerates at 2.0 m/s2 and comes to a stop after travelling 25 m. Find a) the speed of the car at the start of the deceleration and b) the time required to come to a stop. Solution: We are given: a v x = = = - 2.0 m/s2 0 25 m a) From v2 = v02 + 2ax we have v02 = v2 - 2ax = - 2(- 2.0)(25) = 100 m2/s2 or v0 = 10 m/s. 69 b) From v = v0 + at we have t = (v - v0)/a= 1 10 = 5 s. 2.0 Example 3-8: The current in a river is 1.0 m/s. A man swims 300 m downstream and then back to his starting point without stopping. If he can swim 2.0 m/s in still water, find the time of the round trip. Solution: We need to find the velocity of the man relative to the shore for each part of the swim. Let downstream be the positive direction and let vw be the velocity of the water. ym/wis the velocity of the man relative to the water and vw/s is the velocity of the man relative to the shore. Then: (i) going downstream vw/s = vw + vm/w= 1.0 + 2.0 = 3.0 m/s (ii) going upstream vw/s= 1.0 - 2.0 = - 1.0 m/s . To find the time to go 300 m in each direction use x = v0t + 1/2 at2. With a = 0 we have t = x/v0 . This gives (i) downstream: td 300m 100s 3m / s (ii) Upstream: tu 300m = 300 s 1.00m / s The total time of the swim is tt = 100 s + 300 s = 400 s . Problem 3-9: The man in the previous problem swims across the river to the opposite bank and back. The river is 300 m wide and he swims perpendicular to the current so he ends up downstream from where he started. Find the time for the return trip. 70 Solution: Since the man swims perpendicular to the current we can define the y-axis as parallel to the river and treat the x and y motion independently. We are only interested in the motion in the x-direction. For the first half of his swim we have: ax = 0 vx0 = vx = 2.0 (m/s) x = 300 m. To find the time to cross the river we use x = vx0t + 1/2 axt2 which gives, t x vx0 300m 150s 2.0m / s Since the motion is symmetric, the time to return is the same as the time to cross. The total time is tt = 2(150 s ) = 300 s. 3.2.2 Vertically Thrown up and Free Falling Bodies Motion A freely falling object is an object that moves under the influence of gravity only. Neglecting air resistance, all objects in free fall in the earth's gravitational field have a constant acceleration that is directed towards the earth's center, or perpendicular to the earth's surface, and of magnitude | | g = 9.8 m/s2. If motion is straight up and down and we choose a coordinate system with the positive y-axis pointing up and perpendicular to the earth's surface, we describe the motion with Eq.(3.7), Eq.(3.8), Eq.(3.9) with a - g , x y . 71 Photo of a freely falling ball Equations of motion for the one dimension (1-D) vertical motion of an object in up (thrown up motion): v = v0 - gt y = v0t –½ gt2 v2 = v02 - 2gy Note: Since the acceleration due to gravity is the same for any object, a heavy object does not fall faster than a light object. In free fall v0= 0, then from equations mentioned above: v = - gt y = – ½ gt2 v2 = - 2gy Minus sign means negative y-axis motion Example 3-10: A swimmer amuses jumping from a 36 m-high cliff into the sea. 72 1) How long does he fall? 2) What is his impact velocity on the water? Solution: v 0 0m / s , a -g -9.8m/s 2 and y0 0m Take the upward as the positive y direction. 1 2 1 2 2 2 1) y f y sea gt v0 t y 0 36 9.8 t t 2) 72 2.71s 9.8 v v0 gt v 9.8 2.71 26.56m / s downword Example 3-11: A golf ball is released from rest from the top of a very tall building. Calculate: (a) the position and (b) the velocity of the ball after 1.00 s, 2.00 s, and 3.00 s. Solution: Choose the origin at (y=0, t=0) at the starting point of the ball and take upward as positive. Then y0=0, v0=0 and a=-g=-9.8m/s2. The position and the velocity at time t become: 1 1 1 y f y0 gt2 v0t y f gt2 (9.8)t 2 2 2 2 and v f v0 gt v f 9.8t a) at t=1s: yf= -4.9m att=2s: yf=-19.6m att=3s: yf= -44.1m b) at t=1s: vf= -9.8m/s att=2s: vf=-19.6m/s 73 att=3s: vf= -29.4m/s Example3- 12: A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s. 1) How long does it take the ball to reach its maximum altitude? 2) What is its maximum altitude? 3) Determine the velocity and acceleration of the ball at t = 2 s. The free fall acceleration a=-g=-9.8m/s2. Solution: v0 15m / s, a g 9.8m / s2 and y0 0m ( the ball is thrown upward from the ground) We choose y- axis positive in the upward direction. 1) The time taken by the ball to reach its maximum altitude is: v v0 gt t v0 v 15 0 1.53s g 9.8 2) The maximum altitude (v=0m/s) is given by the equation v v 2 g ( y y0 ) ymax 2 2 0 v 2 v02 0 (15) 2 11 .48m 2g 2 9.8 3) The velocity of the ball at t=2s: v v0 gt 15 9.8 2 4.6m / s The acceleration of the ball at t=2s is equals a= -g=-9.8m/s2 Example 3-13: A stone is thrown vertically upward from the edge of a building 20 m high with initial velocity 15 m/s. The stone just misses the building on the way down. Find a) the time of flight and b) the velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground. 74 Solution: We are given, v0 = 15 (m/s) a = - 10 (m/s2) At the time the stone hits the ground, x a) = - 20 m From x = v0t + 1/2 at2 we have, -20 = 15t+1/2 (-10) t2 Then t2-3t-4=0 by solving this equation:(t-4)(t+1) = 0 The two solutions are t = 4 s and t = - 1 s. The second (negative) solution gives the time the stone would have left the ground, and is unphysical in this case. The solution we want is the first one. b) We substitute to find v = v0 + at = 14.7 - 9.8(4) = - 24.5 m/s. Note that the negative velocity correctly shows that the stone is moving down. Example 3-14: A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of 29.4 m/s2 for 4 s. At this time, it runs out of fuel and continues to move upward. How high does it go? Solution: For the first stage of the flight we are given: v0 a t = = = 0 29.4 m/s2 4 s 75 This gives, for the velocity and position at the end of the first stage of the flight: v1 = v0 + at = (29.4 m/s2)(4 s ) = 117.6 m/s and x1 = v0t + ½ at2 = ½ (29.4)(4)2 = 235.2 m. For the second stage of the flight we start with, v1 = 117.6 m/s a = - 9.8 m/s 2 And the end up with v2 = 0. We want to find the distance travelled in the second stage (x2 - x1). We have, V22 - v12 = 2a(x2– x1) (x2 - x1) = 1 (v 22 v 12 ) 2a = 1 (117.6) 2 2(9.8) = 705.6 m. Therefore, x2 = x1 + 705.6 = 235.2 + 705.6 = 940.8 m. 3.3 Motion in Two Dimensions In two dimensions, it is necessary to use vector notation to describe physical quantities with both magnitude and direction. In this section, we define displacement, velocity and acceleration as vectors in two dimensions. We also discuss the solution of projectile motion problems in two dimensions. 3.4.1 Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration in 2-Dimensions Recall: - In 1-dimension, the vector nature of velocity and acceleration is taken into account by displacement. In Figure 3.2, an object is at position ri at time ti (point P). Sometime later, tf, the object is at position rf (point Q). The displacement vector of the object is given by Eq. (3-10):- 76 (3-10) Figure 3.2: Displacement The sign of the physical quantity displacement is (positive or negative). In 2-dimensions: - motion must use two components to specify a velocity or acceleration vector. We define the average velocity of a particle during the time interval t as the displacement vector r of the particle divided by that time interval t: r v av t r The instantaneous velocity v is defined as the limit of the average velocity as t t approaches zero as in Figure 3.3: r dr v lim t 0 t dt The magnitude of the instantaneous velocity vector v v is called the speed, which is a scalar quantity. 77 y P o Figure 3.3: Instantaneous velocity in 2-D. x Interpretation: When t 0, the point Q in the figure gets closer and closer to the point P and the direction of approaches the direction of a tangent to the curve at point P. Thus the instantaneous velocity is parallel to the tangent and in the same direction as the motion. Average Acceleration The average acceleration of a particle as it moves from one position to another is defined as the change in the instantaneous velocity vector v divided by the v time interval t during which that change occurred: aav t Instantaneous Acceleration: The instantaneous acceleration a is defined as the v limiting value of the ratio as (t) approaches zero: t v dv d dr d 2 r a lim t 0 t dt dt dt dt 2 Note:a particle can accelerate in different ways: 78 1. The magnitude of can change in time, while the direction of motion stays the same. 2. The magnitude of , | | , can stay constant, while the direction of motion changes. This only happens in more than one dimension. 3. Both | | and the direction of can change. Example 3-15: A golf ball is hit off a tee at the edge of a cliff. Its x and y coordinates as functions of time are given by the following expressions: x (18.0m / s)t And y (4.0m / s) t (4.9m / s 2 ) t 2 (a)Write a vector expression for the ball’s position as a function of time, using the unit vectors and ĵ . By taking derivatives, obtain expressions for (b) the velocity vector v as a function of time and (c) the acceleration vector a as a î function of time. Next, use unit-vector notation to write expressions for (d) the position, (e) the velocity, and (f) the acceleration of the golf ball, all at t = 3.0 s. Solution: a) r 18.0tiˆ (4.0t 4.9t 2 ) ˆj 2 b) v (18.0m / s)iˆ 4.0m (9.8m / s )t ˆj 2 c) a (9.8m / s ) ˆj d) r (3.0s) (54m)iˆ (32.1m) ˆj e) v (3.0s) (18.0m / s)iˆ (25.4m / s) ˆj 2 f) a (3.0s) (9.8m / s ) ˆj 79 3.4 Projectile Motion Projectile motion is a particular kind of two - dimensional motion. We make the following assumptions: The only force present is the force due to gravity. The magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is | | = g = 9.8 m/s2. We choose a coordinate system in which the positive y-axis points up perpendicular to the earth's surface. This definition gives, ay = - g and ax = 0. The rotation of the earth does not affect the motion. Projectile Photo Initial Conditions: We choose the coordinate system so that the particle leaves the origin ( x0 = 0, y0 = 0 ) at time t0 = 0 with an initial velocity of v 0 . Procedure for Solving Projectile Motion Problems 1. Separate the motion into the x (horizontal) part and y (vertical) part. 80 2. Consider each part separately using the appropriate equations. The equations of motion become:(a) x motion ( ax =0): vx = vx0 = constant& x = v0xt (b) y motion ( ay = - g ): vy = vy0 – gt y = vy0t – 1/2 at2 vy2 = vy02 – 2gy 3. Solve the resulting system of equations for the unknown quantities. Furthermore, let us assume that at t= 0, the projectile leaves the origin (x0=0, y0=0) with speed v0 , as shown in Figure 3.4. The vector v 0 makes an angle 0 with the horizontal, where 0 is the angle at which the projectile leaves the origin. Therefore, the initial v 0 x and v 0 y components of velocity are: v0 x v0 cos( 0 ) v0 y v0 sin( 0 ) , (3.11) Therefore, the velocity vector at t=0 is: v0 v0 x iˆ voy ˆj v0 cos( 0 )iˆ v0 sin( 0 ) ˆj The components of velocity and position at time t are: vx v0 x v0 cos( 0 ) , v y v0 y gt v0 sin( 0 ) gt x v0 x t v0 cos( 0 ) t , 1 1 y v0 y t gt 2 v0 sin( 0 )t gt 2 2 2 (3.12) (3.13) Therefore, the velocity vector and the position vector of the projectile as functions of time are, respectively: v vx iˆ v y ˆj v0 cos( 0 )iˆ (v0 sin( 0 ) gt ) ˆj 81 1 r xiˆ yˆj v0 cos( 0 )tiˆ (v0 sin( 0 )t gt 2 ) ˆj 2 When analyzing projectile motion, consider it to be the superposition of two motions: (1) constant-velocity motion in the horizontal direction and (2) free-fall motion in the vertical direction. If we eliminate the time between x and y, we find the path of a projectile, which we call trajectory, is always a parabola. From equation (3.13) we find t x and substitute this expression for t into the equation of y; this ( v0 cos( 0 )) gives: 2 g x y tan( 0 )x 2 2 2 v cos ( ) 0 0 The equation is of the form y = ax-bx2, which is the equation of a parabola that passes through the origin. Figure 3.4 Horizontal Range and Maximum Height of a Projectile: 82 In projectile motion, two points are especially interesting to analyze: the peak point A,which has Cartesian coordinates (R/2, h), and the point B, which has coordinates (R, 0). The distance R is called the horizontal range of the projectile, and the distance h is its maximum height (Figure 3.5). Let us find h and R in terms of , i = 0, and g. Figure 3.5 We can determine h by noting that at the peak, v yA 0 . Therefore, we can use Equation (3.12) to determine the time tA at which the projectile reaches the peak(maximum height): 0 v0 y gt v0 sin( 0 ) gt A v sin( 0 ) t A 0 g (3.14) Substituting this expression for tA into the y part of Equation (3.13) and replacing y = yA with h, we find: v sin(0 ) 1 v0 sin(0 ) h (v0 sin(0 )[ 0 ] g g 2 g 83 2 v02 sin 2 ( 0 ) h 2g (3.15) The range R is the horizontal position of the projectile at a time that is twice the time at which it reaches its peak, that is, at time t B = 2tA. Using the x part of Equation (3.13), noting that vx vB v0 x v0 cos( 0 ) and setting at t = 2tA, we find that: R v0 x t B v0 x 2t A 2v0 sin( 0 ) v02 2 cos( 0 ) sin( 0 ) v02 sin(2 0 ) R v0 cos( 0 ) g g g The maximum value of R from Equation (3.16) is Rmax (3.16) v02 obtained for g 0=45°. The next figure illustrates various trajectories for a projectile having a given initial speed but launched at different angles. Figure The figure below is an experiment illustrating the independence of horizontal and vertical motion. The gun is aimed directly at the target ball and 84 fired at the instant the target is released. In the absence of gravity, the projectile would hit the target because the target wouldn’t move. However, the projectile still hits the target in the presence of gravity. That means the projectile is falling through the same vertical displacement as the target despite its horizontal motion. Example 16: A long-jumper leaves the ground at an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal and at a speed of 11.0 m/s as shown in figure. 1) How far does he jump in the horizontal direction? (Assume his motion is equivalent to that of a particle.) 2) What is the maximum height reached? 85 Solution: v0 11.0m / s, 0 20 1) We set our origin of coordinates at the takeoff point and label the peak as A and the landing point as B. The horizontal motion is described by Equation: R xB v0 x t v0 cos( 0 ) t B (11.0m / s)(cos(20.0°))tB The value of xB can be found if the time of landing tB is known. This time is twice the time tA in which the horizontal component of velocity of projectile is equals zero (at maximum height). Therefore, we use the equation (3.14), we can found the time tB: v sin( 0 ) 2(11.0. sin(20.0 ) /( 9.8) 2 0.384s 0.768s t B 2t A 2 0 g Therefore: R xB v0 cos( 0 )t B 11.0 cos(20 )(0.768) 7.94m This is a reasonable distance for a world-class athlete. The range could be also be found from (3.16) as: v02 sin( 2 0 ) 11 2 sin( 40) R 7.94m g 9.8 2) We find the maximum height reached by using equation (3.15): 86 h ymax v02 sin 2 ( 0 ) (11sin(20 )) 2 0.722m 2g 2(9.8) Example 3-17: A stone is thrown from the top of a building upward at an angle of 30.0° above horizontal with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s, as shown in Figure 3.6. If the height of the building is 45.0 m: 1) How long does it take the stone to reach the ground? 2) What is the speed of the stone just before it strikes the ground? Solution: We have indicated the various parameters in Figure 3.6.The initial x and y components of the stone’s velocity are: v0 x v0 cos( 0 ) 20 cos(30) 17.3m / s Figure : 3. 6 87 v0 y v0 sin( 0 ) 20 sin(30) 10.0m / s 1) To find t, we can use the equation: 2) There is a minus sign on the numerical value of yf because we have chosen the top of the building as the origin. Solving the quadratic equation for t gives, for the positive root, t = 4.22 s. Does the negative root have any physical meaning? 3) We can use Equation: v y v0 y gt with t=4.22s to obtain the y component of the velocity just before the stone strikes the ground: v yf v y 10.0 9.8x(4.22) 31.4m / s The negative Because vx f sign indicates vox 17.3m / s , that the stone is moving downward. the magnitude of velocity (speed): v f vxf2 v yf2 (17.3)2 (31.4)2 35.9m / s Example 3-18: A plane drops a package of emergency rations to a party of explorers. The plane is traveling horizontally at 40.0 m/s and 100 m above the ground, as shown in Figure 3. 7: I. Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point at which it is released? 88 II. What are components of the velocity of the package just before it hits the ground? III. Where is the plane when the package hits the ground? (Assume that the plane does not change its speed or course.) Solution: To solve this problem, we choose the coordinate system, in which the origin is at the point of release of the package. The various parameters are: 0 0 , v0 x 40.0m / s , v0 y 0m / s and a -g -9.8m/s 2 i) Consider first the horizontal motion of the package, the distance traveled along the horizontal direction is given by: x v0 x t v0 cos( 0 ) t 40.0 cos(0 )t 40.0t Figure3.7: Plane drops a package 89 To find t, we use the equations that describe the vertical motion of the package. We know that at the instant the package hits the ground, its y coordinate is: 1 1 y F 100 v0 y t gt 2 0 (9.8)t 2 2 2 t= 4.52s Substitution of this value for the time of flight into the equation for the x coordinate gives: x f 40.0t 40.0x4.52 181m The package hits the ground 181 m to the right of the drop point. ii) The components of the velocity just before the package hits the ground are given by the equation: vx f v0 x v0 cos( 0 ) 40.0m / s v y f v0 y gt 0 gt 9.8x(4.52) 44.3m / s iii) Directly over the package. Why? Example 3-19: A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 113 m/s at an angle of 600 above the horizontal from the top of a tower 49 m high (see Figure 3.8). Find:a- The time to reach the maximum height, b- The maximum height, c- The total time in the air, d- The horizontal range and e- The component of the final velocity just before the projectile hits the ground. 90 Solution: Set up the coordinate system. A 600 49m B Figure 3.8: (Problem 3.3) Consider the x- and y-motion separately. We are given: Table 3.2: (Problem 3.3) y-motion x-motion yB = - 49 m x =? v0x = 113cos 60o v0y = 113sin 60o v0x = vAx = vBx vAy = 0 ay = - 9.8 m/s2 ax = 0 a) Find the time to reach the maximum height: vAy = v0y + aytA v Ay v 0 y tA ay 113sin 600 9.99s 9.8 b) Find the maximum height: = (3-15) 91 yA= v0y tA + 1/2 ay t2A = (113sin 600)(9.99) – 1/2 (9.8)(9.99)2 = 489 m (3-16) c) Find the total time tB in the air: yB = v0ytB + 1/2 ay t B2 - 49 m = (113sin 60)tB–1/2 (9.8) t B2 (3-17) 0 = 4.9t2B - 97.9tB– 49 Solving the quadratic we obtain, tB = 1 (97.9 (97.9)2 4(4.9)(49)) ) 9.8 Which gives, tB = 20.5 s or tB = - 0.49 s. We reject the second solution (it gives the time the projectile would have left the ground, if it had been thrown from there). d) Find the horizontal range ( xB ): xB = v0xtB + 1/2 ax t B2 = (113cos 60)(20.5) = 1158 m. (3-18) e) Findthe components of the final velocity ( vBx , vBy ):vBx = v0x = 113cos( 60) = 56.5 (m/s) vBy = v0y + aytB = 113sin - 9.8(20.5) = - 103 (m/s). (3-19) Note that the negative value of vBy correctly gives the direction as down. 92 Example 3-20: A projectile is fired at a falling target as in figure 3.9. The projectile leaves the gun at the same instant that the target falls from rest. Assuming that the gun is initially aimed at the target, show that the bullet will hit the target. Solution: Let xB and yB be the x and y positions of the bullet, and let xT and yT be the x and y positions of the target. We need to show that, yB = yT and xB = xT at some common time tc , the time at which the bullet will hit the target. Figure 3.9: (Example 3-20) The motion of the bullet is described by the two equations: xB = yB = cos(Ө)t sin(Ө)t – . It will take the bullet some time, tc , to arrive at the x position of the target, xT . At that time, the bullet and target will be at the same x position (the target's x position does not change since it falls straight down). Thus, we have at time tc : xT = xB= At time tc . 93 In order for the bullet to hit the target, the y positions must be equal at tc . The y position of the target is given by : yT = y0 – g t c2 And for the bullet: 2 tc – ½ g t c yB = v0 sin We can see from the above equations that in order for yB = yT at (tc) , we need to have y0 = v0sin tc . To show this, consider Figure 3.9: y sin sin tan y 0 xT x cos cos Using the previous result, xT = v0cos y0 tc or cos = (xT)/(v0tc) gives: x T sin v 0 sin t c x T / v 0t c Thus we have shown that at time tc ,xT = xB and yT = yB , and therefore that the bullet will hit the target. 94 Exercises: 1- In order to equality for the finals in a racing event, a race car must achieve an average speed of 250 km/h on a track with a total length of 1600 m.

We discuss Newton's laws, which describe the way a body responds to a net force. We discuss frictional forces and the way they can be mathematically represented. We study several applications of Newton's laws. Idea: Force is the cause of motion in classical mechanics. Classical mechanics deals with systems of size 10-10 m (atomic dimensions) and velocity 3.0 x 108 m/s (the speed of light). Notes: Force is a vector. There are two kinds of forces: o Contact Forces - involve physical contact between objects. Examples: the force involved in kicking a ball, pulling a wagon, compressing a spring, etc. 103 o Field forces - don't involve physical contact between objects. Examples: the gravitational force and the electromagnetic force. What are some properties of a force? Types of Forces A force is a push or pulls acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object. There are a variety of types of forces, a variety of force types are placed into two broad category headings on the basis of whether the force resulted from the contact or non-contact of the two interacting objects.

Drawing force vectors Use a vector arrow to indicate the magnitude and direction of the force as shown in Figure (1). Figure (1) Case I( pull directed 300 above horizontal), we have: Fnet F ma 105 For x-axis, we have: Fx Fx max , therefore F cos300= m a If the object moves with a constant speed, the above equation becomes F =0 For y-axis, we have Fy Fy may . There is no motion along y-axis, so that ay= 0. Therefore, N+ F sinӨ = mg, or = mg – F sinӨ. Case II( push directed 450 above horizontal ). For x-axis, we have: Fx Fx max , therefore FcosӨ= Fcos300= ma For y-axis, we have Fy Fy may . Where ay=0, so N-F sinӨ = mg, or N=mg+ FsinӨ. Case III: An object moving along a rough surface with a force F a) F parallel to the surface For x-axis, we have Fx Fx max , therefore F-fk = ma wherefkis the kinetic friction force. If the object moves with a constant speed, then the equation becomes: F = fk For y-axis, Fy Fy may , where ay = 0, therefore 106 = mg. b) F makes an angle to the surface For x-axis, we have Fx Fx max , therefore F cosӨ -fk = max , where fk is the kinetic friction force. At a motion of constant speed ax=0, then FcosӨ = fk For y-axis, Fy Fy may , where ay = 0, therefore N+ F sin Ө= mg. 4-1-2 The fundamental forces of nature According to current understanding, all forces are expressions of four distinct fundamental forces: 1. Gravitational Force The gravitational force acts between any two bodies of matter in the universe, since MASS is its source. It is a force of infinite range which obeys the inverse square law. It is weak, very long ranged, and always attractive. 2. Electromagnetic Force It can be attractive or repulsive, and acts only between bodies of matter carrying electrical charges. It is long ranged, but much weaker that the strong force. It is a force of infinite range which obeys the inverse square law, has the same from as the gravitational force , and holds atoms and molecules together 3. The Strong Interaction Force 107 It is a force which can hold a nucleus together against the enormous forces of repulsion of the protons. It is not an inverse square force like the electromagnetic. It has very short range of order 10-11 m and the strongest of the four fundamental forces. 4. The Weak Interaction Force This force is crucial for the universe in that the sun would not burn without it (formation of deuterium and deuterium fusion). It is necessary for the buildup of heavy nuclei.. 4-2 Newton's First Law Newton's First Law States: an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with a constant velocity, if there is no net external force between the object and the environment. In equation form we can write: F 0 a 0 (4.1) 4-3 Newton's Second Law If ≠0 (i.e. there is a net external force acting on an object) then, (4.2) Definition:Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist any attempt to change its state of motion. Mass is the force required per unit of acceleration produced and is a measure of inertia. Mass is a scalar and has SI units of kilograms (Kg). Example: If a bowling ball and a golf ball are hit with a bat, the bowling ball would be much harder to get moving since it has greater mass and thus greater inertia. Note: is inversely proportional to m . This means that, for the same force, a smaller mass will have a larger acceleration. 108 Newton's second law is a vector equation which contains three scalar equations (in three dimensions): = max , = may , = maz The first law is a special case of the second law. The SI unit of force is the Newton (N). Definition: 1 Newton is the force that produces an acceleration of 1 m/s2 when acting on a 1 kg mass. In the CGS system: 1 dyne = 1 g cm/s2= 10-5N. In the British engineering system: 1 pound (lb) = 4.448 N. Definition: Weight ( ) is the force exerted on an object by a gravitational field. From Newton's second law, w = mg (4.3) Notes: Weight is a vector with direction towards the earth's center, or perpendicular to the earth's surface. The weight of an object is different on the earth and on the moon since the strength of the gravitational field is different ( gearth ≠ gmoon ). The value of g varies with distance from the center of the earth as a consequence: o Since the earth isn't a perfect sphere, the weight of an object varies slightly from place to place on the earth's surface. o The weight of an object varies slightly with altitude above the earth's surface. In comparison, mass is a scalar with a value independent of location. Notice however that, in the approximation that g is constant, mass is proportional to the magnitude of the weight and the two quantities can be used interchangeably. This is called the equivalence principle. 4-4 Newton's Third Law Idea: Forces in nature always exist in pairs. Newton's third law states: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". When two bodies interact: 109 2 on 1 = - 1 on 2 (4.4) Where 2 on1 is the force exerted on body 1 by body 2 and 1 on 2 is the force exerted on body 2 by body 1. For example:-If you exert a force on a body, the body always exerts a force (the “reaction”) back upon you. • Figure 4.2 shows “an action-reaction pair.” Another Example: When an object falls towards the earth, the earth exerts a force on it that causes it to accelerate towards the earth. According to Newton's third law, the object exerts a force on the earth as well, and the earth accelerates towards the object. Why don't we feel the earth accelerate? Solution: 2nd Law 3rd law obj on earth obj on earth =- = me earth on obj e =- ae / me 110 Conclusion: the acceleration of the earth is too small to detect because the mass of the earth is much larger than the mass of the object. 4-5 Frictions Frictional forces (i.e.; Interaction or Contact) A surface can always supply a normal force, perpendicular to the surface. However, a surface quite often also supplies a fiction force parallel to the plane. Friction forces always opposite to the motion -- or prevent the motion. • When a body rests or slides on a surface, the friction force is parallel to the surface. Friction between two surfaces arises from interactions between molecules on the surfaces as shown in Figure (4.3). Figure (4-3) Also, the contact force between the surface and the body is normal to the surface and called normal force “ .” 111 Kinetic and static friction • • • • Kinetic friction acts when a body slides over a surface. Static friction acts when there is no relative motion between bodies. The kinetic friction force is fk = µk . The static friction force can vary between zero and its maximum value: fs ≤ µs . • Static friction followed by kinetic friction. • Before the box slides, static friction acts. • But once it starts to slide, kinetic friction actsas in Figure (4-4). Figure (4.4) 4-6 Experimental facts about friction 1. fs μs where μs is the coefficient of static friction and is the magnitude of the normal force ( =mg). Equality holds when the object is on the point of slipping: fs(max) = μs . 112 2. fk = μk where μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction and is approximately constant for any given pair of materials. 3. Values of μs and μk depend on the nature of the surfaces that are in contact, usually μk<μs. Examples: rubber on concrete μs = 1.0, μk = 0.8 ; waxed wood on wet snow μs = 0.14, μk = 0.10. 4. The direction of the force of friction is opposite to the direction the object wants to move. 5. μk and μs are nearly independent of the area of contact between the two surfaces. 6. μk is nearly independent of the velocity of the object under consideration. Table (4-2): lists some approximate values for µs and µk for various pairs of surfaces Table 4-2 4-7Applications of Newton's Laws Goals of applying Newton's laws: • Use Newton’s 1st law for bodies in equilibrium (statics) • Use Newton’s 2nd law for accelerating bodies (dynamics) 113 • Study types of friction • Using Newton’s First Law when forces are in equilibrium • A body is in equilibrium when it is at rest or moving with constant velocity in an inertial frame of reference. • We treat objects as point particles (no rotational motion). • We neglect masses of ropes and springs. One consequence of this assumption is that the force exerted along a rope is the same at all points in the rope. Note: In problems with several bodies, apply Newton's 2nd law to one body at a time. 4-8 Problem Solving Strategy Draw a picture of the situation and a force diagram of all the forces for each body (a free body diagram). o In the force diagram for each object, include only the forces acting on that object. o The force exerted by a rope is called the tension and usually denoted . o The contact force exerted by a surface is called the normal force and always acts perpendicular to the surface. Set up a coordinate system and apply Newton's second law: F x 4-9 max , Fy may If necessary, use the kinematic equations of motion to solve for the desired quantities.

Find: -the horizontal force Fw which exerts on the boat if it’s mass = 200 kg, as shown in Figure (4.8). 117 Figure (4-8) (Example 4.3) Solution From the given information, we have: v0 = 0 m/s, after t= 4 s, the iceboat velocity is v = 6 m/s Then from the equation: v = v0 + a x t In one dimensional motion So, 6 = 0+ax (4) and so ax = 6/4 = 1.5 m/s2 From Newton's Second Law, we have In this problem, F y F ma 0 & Fx max Fw and so, Fw 200(Kg )(1.5m / s 2 ) 300N Straight-line motion with constant force Example 4.4 An Iceboat is moving as considered in the previous example.If the position of the boat as a function of time is given by: x 1.2t 2 0.2t 3 118 Find:-Fw after t = 3s . Also, find the time at which Fw=0, Fw> 0 and Fw<0. Solution d 2x From Second Law: we have F ma m 2 Fx Fw dt dx 2.4t 0.6t 2 dt Then dv a 2.4 1.2t dt v After t= 3s, so v = 2.4(3) - 0.6(3)2 = 7.2 – 5.4 = 1.8 m/s Also, a= 2.4 – 1.2(3) = -1.2 m/s2 , minus sign means only negative x –axis motion. Then after t = 3s Fw = max = 200(-1.2) = -240 N, minus sign means only negative x –axis motion. Fw = 0 N when ax = 0 then, 2.4 – 1.2 t= 0 , so t = 2.4/1.2= 2 s. Fw>0 at t< 2s while Fw<0 at t>2s Example 4-5(Frictions) A hockey puck of mass 0.145 kg travelling at 10 m/s slows to 2.0 m/s over a distance of 80 m.

Solution: Figure 4.10: Example 4.6 From the Newton's 2nd Law: Fs - mg = ma Fs = m(g + a) (4.10) 121 This gives: a) Fs = 50(9.8 + 0.5) = 515 N b) Fs = 50(9.8 + 0) = 490 N c) Fs = 50(9.8 - 1.0) = 440 N Example 4-7 A wooden plank is raised at one end to an angle of 300. A 2.0 kg box is placed on the incline 1.0 m from the lower end and given a slight tap to overcome static friction. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plank is μk = 0.20. Find:a) The rate of acceleration of the box and b) The speed of the box at the bottom. Assume that the initial speed of the box is zero. Solution: Figure 4.11: Example 4.7 y x a) Find the components of the weight of the object: 122 wx = - mg sin wy = - mg cos Write out the two components of Newton's 2nd Law: x : - mg sin + fk = - ma y : – mg cos = 0. Using fk = μk a (4.11) we get, ma = -μk (mg cos ) + mgsin = g(sin - μk cos ) = 9.8(sin 30 - 0.2cos 30) = 3.20 m/s2 (4.12) b) Since a is constant and v2 = v02 + 2ax . With x = 1 m , v0 = 0, we have: v = 2(3.2)(1) 2.53 m/s . Example 4-8 A 10 kg box is attached to a 7 kg box which rests on a 300 incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between each box and the surface is μk = 0.10. Find:a) The rate of acceleration of the system. b) The tension in the rope. Solution: Figure 4.12: Example 4.8 123 We apply the 2nd law separately to each box. For the 10 kg box: y direction: – m2 g = 0 & x direction: T - fk2 = m2 a , T-μk = m2 g = m2 a Then T-μk m2 g = m2a (4-13) For the 7 kg box: y direction: = m1gcos , x direction: m1gsin m1gsin m1gsin - T - fk1 = = - T - µk m1a m1a = m1 a - T –μkm1gcos (4.14) We have a system of two equations and two unknowns: a and T. We can solve as follows. a) From equation (4.1), T = m2a + μk m2g . Substituting into equation (4.2) gives, m1a = m1g sin -μk m1gcos - m2a - μkm2g m1a + m2a = m1g sin - μk m2g - μk m1g cos (4.15) 124 a = (1/m1+m2)[m1gsin - μkm2g - μkm1gcosƟ]gμk] = (1/17){[7(9.8) sin(30) - (0.1)(10)(9.8) - (0.1)(7)(9.8) cos(30)] }= 1.1 m/s2 (4.16) b) Then substituting into the first equation gives, T = m2(a + gμk) = 10(9.8(.1) + 1.1) = 20.8 N.

The coefficient of sliding friction between m1 and the surface is (). Find:- the acceleration of the two blocks and the tension in the string. Figure Solution: Consider the motion of m1. Since, its motion to the right, then T>f. Fx = T - f = m1a , Fy = N - m1g = 0 N = m1g Since f = N = m1g, then: T = m1(a+g) For m2, the motion is downward, therefore m2g>T. Note that T is uniform through the rope. That is the force which acts on the right is also the force which keeps m2 from free falling. The equation of motion for m2 is: Fy = T - m2g = - m2a T = m2(g-a) Solving the above two equations for T together, we find: m1(a+g) - m2(g-a) = 0 127 And the tension T is Example 4-12: A 3kg block starts from rest at the top of 30o incline and slides a distance of 2m down the incline in 1.5s.

We define kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, and the potential energy stored in a compressed or stretched spring. If all forces are conservative, the mechanical energy of an isolated system is constant. If non-conservative forces are present, we use the work-energy theorem to equate the work done by the non-conservative forces and the change in mechanical energy. 5-1 Work Definition: The work done by an agent exerting a constant force ( ) and causing a displacement ( ) equals the magnitude of the displacement, , times the component of along the direction of . In Figure 5.1, the work done by is: W=F cos ( ). Figure 5.1: Work Note: If = 0 W = 0. (i.e.: no work is done when holding a heavy box, or pushing against a wall). W = 0 if (i.e.: no work is done by carrying a bucket of water horizontally). 136 The sign of W depends on the direction of relative to : W > 0 when component of along is in the same direction as , and W < 0 when it is in the opposite direction. This sign is given automatically if we write (θ) as the angle between and and write W = FΔr cos . If acts along the direction of then W = F , since cos = cos 0 = 1. Work is a scalar. The SI units of work are Joules (J) (1 Joule = 1 Newton meter). In CGS units are: 1 erg = 1 dyne cm. Example 5-1: A man cleaning a floor by pulling a vacuum cleaner with a force of magnitude F=50 N at an angle of 30° with the horizontal (Figure. 2a). Calculate the work done by the force on the vacuum cleaner as the vacuum cleaner is displaced 3.00 m to the right. Figure 5.2 137 Solution: Fd cos= 50 (3) cos (30°) =130 N.m =130 J The normal force n , the force of gravity w = mg, and the upward component of the applied force (50.0 N) (sin 30.0°) do no work on the vacuum cleaner because these forces are perpendicular to its displacement. Example 5-2: A particle moving in the x-y plane undergoes a displacement a constant force as acts on the particle. a) Calculate the magnitude of the displacement and that of the force. b) Calculate the work done by . Solution: a) d = 3.6m , F = 5.4 N b) W= The angle between and is equals 35° 5-2 Kinetic Energy and the Work Energy Theorem Idea: Force is a vector, work and energy are scalars. Thus, it is often easier to solve problems using energy considerations instead of using Newton's laws (i.e. it is easier to work with scalars than vectors). Definition: The kinetic energy (K.E) of an object of mass m that is moving with velocity v is: 138 K.E = 1/2 mv2 (5-1) Note: Kinetic energy is a scalar. The units are the same as for work (i.e. Joules, J). Relation between KE and W: The work done on an object by a net force equals the change in kinetic energy of the object: W = K.Ef – K.Ei (5-2) This relationship is called the Work-Energy Theorem. Proof (for parallel to ): 1. W = FΔr W = (ma)Δr (by Newton's second law). 2. From the third equation of motion: aΔr = ( - )/2 K.Ef–K.Ei . W = ½ m( - )= Note: If the speed of an object increases ( v> v0 ) W > 0. If W < 0 then the object is doing work on the agent exerting the net force. Interpretation of Eq.(5.2): We can think of K.E as the work an object can do in coming to rest. Example 5-3: A 6.0-kg block initially at rest is pulled to the right along a horizontal, frictionless surface by a constant horizontal force of 12 N (figure 3.a). Find:-a) the speed of the block after it has moved 3.0 m. 139 Figure 5.3 The work done by this force is: Using the work – kinetic energy theorem: vf=3.5 m/s b)Find the final speed of the block described in (figure5.3.b), if the surface is not frictionless but instead has a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.15. Applyingthe work – kinetic energy theorem in the case of kinetic friction: vf = 1.8m /s 140 Example: 5-4 To move a car of mass 1000 Kg along a level road you need to apply a force of magnitude of 200 N, in the direction of motion to overcome the friction force and get going. If the frictional force is 100N and you push the car 20 m. Find :the speed of the car? Solution The net force on the car is = 200-100 = 100 N,so if a is the constant acceleration ,Newton's second law gives: 100 = ma Then 100 = 1000 a Giving a = 100/1000 = 0.1 m/s2 Since the car is initially at rest, if v is its speed after being pushed 20 m is: So, vf = 2m/s 5-3 Gravitational Potential Energy Definition: Gravitational Potential Energy ( P.Eg ) is given by: (5-3) P.Eg = mgy Where m is the mass of an object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and y is the distance the object is above some reference level. 141 The term ``energy'' is motivated by the fact that potential energy and kinetic energy are different aspects of the same thing (mechanical energy). For Example: When an object is dropped from rest at some height above the earth's surface, it starts with some P.Eg but no K.E. As the object falls towards the Earth, it loses (P.Eg) and gains K.E. Just before the object hits the ground, it has lost its entire initial P.Eg but gained an equal amount of K.E. Proof: Find the work done by the force of gravity (conservative force) when an object falls from rest at position yi to yf= 0 . We have W = Fs , F = |m | = mg and s = (yi - yf) = yi . This gives, W = mgyi . Combining with Eq.(5.2) gives m(v f2 - 0) = mgyi or PEi = KEf . 5-4 Potential Energy Stored in a Spring Definition: The spring constant, k , is a measure of the stiffness of a spring (large k stiff spring, small k soft spring). To compress a spring by a distance x we must apply a force Fext = k x . By Newton's 3rd law, if we hold a spring in a compressed position, the spring exerts a force Fs = - k x . This is called a linear restoring force because the force is always in the opposite direction from the displacement. Note The sign of Fs shows that the spring resists attempts to compress or stretch it; therefore Fs is a restoring force. For Example: In Figure (5.4a) x = xf - xi = - 5 which gives Fs = - k(- 5) = 5k . This force is positive and therefore directed to the right. This means that the spring resists the compression. In Figure (5.4b) x = xf - xi = 3 which gives Fs = - 3k . The negative sign indicates that the force is to the left and that the spring resists the stretching. 142 Figure (5.4): a) Compressed spring b) Stretched spring The farther we compress or stretch the spring, the greater the restoring force. We usually define xi = 0 and xf = x which gives Fs = - kx. This is called Hooke's law. To find the potential energy stored in a compressed (or stretched) spring, we calculate the work to compress (or stretch) the spring: the force to compress a spring varies from Fext = F(0) = 0 (at xi = 0 ), to Fext = Fx = kx (at xf = x ). Since force increases linearly with x , the average force that must be applied is = ½ (F0 + Fx) = ½ kx The work done by external force in the spring as potential energy: is W = Fext .x = ½ kx2. This work is stored P.Es = ½ kx2 (5-4) Note: 5-5 P.Es = 0 when x = 0 (at equilibrium). P.Es always > 0 when the spring is not in equilibrium. P.Es is the same if x = xf (same P.Es for equal expansion or compression). Conservation Laws There are many forms of energy - mechanical, chemical, electrostatic, heat, nuclear. In any isolated system, energy can be transformed from one kind to 143 another, but the total amount of energy is constant (conserved). Example: a battery contains chemical energy and can be used to produce mechanical energy. Example: when a block slides over a rough surface, the force of friction gives rise to the heating of block and surface. As a result, mechanical energy is transformed into heat energy, but total energy is constant. In this section, we are interested in two kinds of mechanical energy. They are motion energy (K.Es)(i.e., this is the energy something has because it is moving), and stored mechanical energy (P.Es) (i.e., this is energy something has stored in it because of its height above the ground or because it is stretched or bent). 5-5-1 Conservative and Non-Conservative Forces Idea: It is not always true that the work done by an external force is stored as some form of potential energy. This is only true if the force is conservative: Wc = Fcext(xB - xA) = P.EA– P.EB (5-5) Definition: The work done by a conservative force on an object in moving it from A to B is path independent - it depends only on the end points of the motion this is called conservative force. Examples such as: the force of gravity and the spring force are conservative forces. For a non-conservative (or dissipative) force, the work done in going from A to B depends on the path taken. Examples such as: friction and air resistance forces. 5-5-2 The Conservation of Mechanical Energy Definition: Mechanical energy is the kinetic energy plus all of the kinds of potential energy that are present. In the absence of non-conservative forces, mechanical energy is conserved. Example: if gravitational and spring forces are present: K.Ei + P.Egi + P.Esi = K.Ef + P.Egf + P.Esf. 144 (5-6) Notice that while the total amount of energy is conserved, the distribution of energy may change. For example, there may be more K.E in the initial state and more P.E in the final state (or the other way around). 5-5-3 Non-Conservative Forces and the Work-Energy Theorem Idea: If there are non-conservative forces then mechanical energy is not conserved. We write, W = Wnc + Wc = K.Ef – K.Ei (5-7) Where Wc is the work done by conservative forces and Wnc is the work done by non-conservative forces. Since Wc = PEi - PEf we have, Wnc = (K.Ef– K.Ei) + (P.Ef– P.Ei) (5-8) The work done by non-conservative forces is equal to the change in mechanical energy. Example 5-5: A ball of mass m is dropped from a height h above the ground, as shown in Figure 5.5. Neglecting air resistance, determine the speed of the ball when it is at a height y above the ground. 145 Figure 5.5 Solution Applying the conservation of Mechanical energy: +mgy As example if h = 100 cm and y = 30 cm, find the final velocity?. Do it yourself! Example 5-6: A block having a mass of 0.80 kg is given an initial velocity vA=1.2 m/s to the right and collides with a spring of negligible mass and force constant k=50 N/m, as shown in Figure 5.6. 146 (a) Assuming the surface to be frictionless, calculate the maximum compression of the spring after the collision. (b) Suppose a constant force of kinetic friction acts between the block and the surface, with μk =0.5. If the speed of the block at the moment it collides with the spring is vA = 1.2 m/s, what is the maximum compression in the spring. Figure 5.6 Solution: a)Because mechanical energy is conserved(conservative force), the kinetic energy of the block before the collision must equal the maximum potential energy stored in the fully compressed spring: 147 b) In this case, mechanical energy is not conserved because a frictional force acts on the block. The magnitude of the frictional force is: Applying the mechanical energy theorem: The physically meaningful root is xB = 0.092 m The negative root does not apply to this situation because the block must be to the right of the origin (positive value of x) when it comes to rest. Note that 0.092 m is less than the distance obtained in the frictionless case of part (a). This result is what we expect because friction retards the motion of thesystem. 5-6 Power Definition: Power is the time rate of doing work or, the amount of work done per second. In everyday life, the amount of work an apparatus can do is not always important. In general it is more important to know the time within which a certain amount of work can be done. For example: the explosive effect of dynamite is based on its capability to release large amounts of energy in a very short time. The same amount of work could have been done using a small space heater (and having it run for a long time) but the space heater would cause no explosion. The quantity of interest is power. The power tells us something 148 about the rate of doing work. If an amount of work W is carried out in a time interval Δt, the average power for this time-interval is:Average Power: = (5-9) Where t is the time interval in which the work is done. P = Fv cosθ, so in a circular motion the power is zero (i.e., F is perpendicular to v). Instantaneous Power: Notes: 5-7 Power is a scalar.

Solution 16000 W = 400(N) v v = 40 m/s Example 5-14 An elevator has a mass of 1100 kg and carries a maximum load of 774 kg. A constant frictional force of 3280 N retards its motion upward. What must be the 154 minimum power delivered by the motor to lift the elevator at a constant speed of 4.3 m/s. Solution Total mass = me + mload = 1100 +774 = 1874 kg Friction force upward = 3200 N v = 4.3 m/s F- fk = weight = mg F = mg + fk = 1874x9.8 + 3200 = 21565.2 N Pmin. = F.v = 21565.2x4.3 = 92 730.36 Watt Example 5-15 A 1.00x103-kg elevator carries a maximum load of 8.00x102 kg. A constant frictional force of 4.00x103 N retards its motion upward, as in Figure below. What minimum power, in kilowatts and in horsepower, must the motor deliver to lift the fully loaded elevator at a constant speed of 3.00 m/s? Strategy:- To solve this problem, we need to determine the force the elevator’s motor must deliver through the force of tension in the cable, T. Substituting this force together with the given speed v into P = Fv gives the desired power. The tension in the cable, T, can be found with Newton’s second law. Solution Apply Newton’s second law to the elevator: 155 The velocity is constant, so the acceleration is zero. Theforces acting on the elevator are the force of tension in the cable, T , the friction f, and gravity , Mg where M is the mass of the elevator. Write the equation in terms of its components: T- f-Mg = 0 Solve this equation for the tension T and evaluate it: T = f +Mg T = 4.00x103 N + (1.80x103 kg)(9.80 m/s2) = 2.16x104 N Substitute this value of T for F in the power equation: P = Fv = (2.16 x104 N)(3.00 m/s) = 6.48 x104 W Remarks The friction force acts to retard the motion, requiring more power. For a descending elevator, the friction force can actually reduce the power requirement. 156 5-8 a.

We discuss the conservation of momentum in collisions and the conservation of kinetic energy in the context of three different types of collisions. 6.1 Linear Momentum and Impulse Definition: Linear momentum The linear momentum of a particle of mass m moving with a velocity v is defined as: P mv (6-1) Note: Momentum is a vector. The units of linear momentum are: (kg. m/s) (N.s). We can rewrite Newton's Second Law in terms of momentum: F ma m v p t t (6-2) Interpretation: Force can be expressed as: Definition: Impulse ( ) The impulse of any body is equal to the change in its momentum this is called (Impulse – momentum theory), and is given by the following equation:- 165 I F t p (6-3) Note: Usually the force is a strongly dependent function of time. In this case, we need to use the average force in the above equation. Example 6-1: Breakup of a Kaon at Rest One type of nuclear particles, called the neutral kaon (K), breaks up into a pair of other particles called pions that are oppositely charged but equal in mass, as illustrated in Figure 6.1Assuming the kaon is initially at rest, prove that the two pions must have momenta that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Figure 6.1 A kaon at rest breaks up spontaneously into a pair of oppositely charged pions. The pions move apart with momenta that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Solution: The breakup of the kaon can be Written as K0 - Because the kaon is at rest before the breakup, then the initial momentum is: Pi =0 From the momentum conservation: Pi = Pf Pf P P 0 P - P 166 Where P+ is the momentum of the positive pion and P- is the momentum of the negative pion 6.2 Conservation of Linear Momentum for Two particle system Momentum is conserved in any collision if the effect of any external forces present is negligible relative to the effect of the collision. Consider a collision of two particles A and B in one dimension as shown in Figure (6.2). Note that, the particles after collision may have the same direction or vice versa. Figure 6.2: 1-D Collision Apply the impulse-momentum theorem F1t = p1 = m1v1f – m1v1i F2 t = p2 = m2v2f – m2v2i to m1 and m2 separately, Where F1 = the average force of m2 on m1 , and F2 = the average force of m1 on m2 . By Newton's third law F1(t) = - F2(t) which gives F1 F2 and so, F F t m v 1 2 1 1f m1v 1i m 2v 2f m 2v 2i p1f + p2f = p1i + p2i This is the statement of the conservation of momentum. 167 (6-4) Note: The system must be isolated: the effect of all external forces acting on m1 and m2 must be negligible. The conservation of momentum holds for a collision involving any number of objects: p p ni nf (6-5) Momentum is a vector, and each component is conserved separately. The equation for conservation of momentum really contains three equations, one for each dimension. Example 6- 2: In a particular crash test, an automobile of mass 1500 kg collides with a wall, as shown in Figure 6.3 The initial and final velocities of the automobile are vi = -15.0 m/s and v f = 2.6 m/s, respectively. If the collision lasts for 0.150 s. Find: - the impulse caused by the collision and 6.3(a) this car’s momentum changes as a result of its the average force exerted on the automobile. Figure collision with the wall. (b) In a crash test, much of the car’s initial kinetic energy is transformed into energy used to damage the car. Solution: The initial and final momenta of the automobile are P i m v i 1500 x ( - 15 i ) - 2.25 x 10 4 i kg.m/s P f m v f 1500 x ( 2.6 i ) 0.39 x 10 4 i kg.m/s The impulse is given as: 168 I P 2.64 x 104 i kg.m/s The average force exerted on the automobile is P 5 F av 1.76 x 10 i N t 6.3 Collisions and Kinetic Energy Idea: Momentum is conserved for any isolated collision, but kinetic energy is usually not. Kinetic energy can be converted into thermal energy and internal elastic potential energy (because of deformations). 6.3.1 Types of collisions 1. Inelastic collision: P conserved, but not K.Es. Example - rubber ball on a hard surface (ball deforms internal elastic P.E). m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f 1 1 1 1 ( m1v 12i m 2v 22i ) ( m1v 12f m 2v 22f ) 2 2 2 2 2. Perfectly inelastic collision: Two objects stick together . P conserved, but not K.E.

These collisions can be treated one dimensionally events. Glancing Collisions: The total linear momentum of a system is conserved when the system is isolated (that is, when no external forces act on the system). For a general collision of two objects in three-dimensional space, the conservation of momentum principle implies that the total momentum of the system in each direction is conserved. However, an important subset of collisions takes place in a plane. The game of billiards is a familiar example involving multiple collisions of objects moving on a two-dimensional surface. We restrict our attention to a single two-dimensional collision between two objects that takes place in a plane, and ignore any possible rotation. For such collisions, we obtain two component equations for the conservation of momentum: m1v1ix+m2v2ix= m1v1f x+m2v 2f x 171 m1v1iy+m2v2iy= m1v1f y+m2v 2f y We must use three subscripts in this general equation, to represent, respectively, (1) the object in question, and (2) the initial and final values of the components of velocity. Now, consider a two-dimensional problem in which an object of mass m1 collides with an object of mass m2 that is initially at rest, as in Active Figure below. After the collision, object 1 move at an angle θ with respect to the horizontal, and object 2 moves at an angle Φ with respect to the horizontal. This is called a glancing collision. Figure 6.4: 2-D Glancing collision Applying the law of conservation of momentum in component form, and noting that the initial y-component of momentum is zero, we have:- x-component: y -component: m1v1i + 0 = m1v1fcosθ+ m2v2fcosΦ 0 +0 =m1v1f sin θ - m2v2fsin Φ If the collision is elastic, we can write a third equation, for conservation of energy, in the form:(*) If we know the initial velocity vii and the masses, we are left with four unknowns (v1f, v2f, θ, and Φ). Because we have only three equations, one of the four remaining quantities must be given in order to determine the motion after the collision from 172 conservation principles alone. If the collision is inelastic, the kinetic energy of the system is not conserved, and Equation* does not apply. In glancing collisions, the objects do not smash straight into each other; they hit each other at an angle. They might push each other up and down in addition to forward and back (like one dimensional collisions). You may have seen a glancing collision on a billiard (pool) table. Momentum is still conserved, but we must work in 2 dimensions:- (6-10) Or, and (6-11) (6-12) Momentum is ALWAYS conserved. It does not matter if the collision is elastic or inelastic. Example 6-3: A car of mass 1800 kg stopped at a traffic light is struck from the rear by a900kg car, and the two become entangled. If the smaller car was moving at 20.0 m/s before the collision, what is the velocity of the entangled cars after the collision? Solution: Pi = m1v1i + 0 = 1.8 x 104kg.m/s Pi Pf Pf 1.8 x 104 kg.m/s Pf ( m1 m2 ) v f v f 6.67 m/s The direction of the final velocity is the same as the velocity of the initially moving car. 173 Example 6-4: Proton –Proton Collision Proton 1 collides elastically with proton 2 that is initially at rest. Proton 1 has an initial speed of 3.5x105 m/s and makes a glancing collision with proton 2, as shown in Figure 6.5 After the collision, proton 1 moves at an angle of 30° to the horizontal axis, and proton 2 deflects at an angle 600 to the same axis. Find the final speeds of the two protons. Figure 6.5 An elastic glancing collision between two protons. Solution: m1 = m2= m Momentum conservation: P i m v1i m v 2 i m v1 f m v 2 f P f The y-component of the momentum equation is: 0 v1 f sin 30 v 2 f sin 60 v1 f sin 30 v 2 f sin 60 v1 f 1.73 v 2 f T he x-component of the momentum equation is: v1i 0 v1 f cos 30 v 2 f cos 60 3.5x10 5 v1 f cos 30 v 2 f cos 60 3.5x10 5 0.87 v1 f 0.5 v 2 f Hence we have two equations in two unknowns, solving for the unknowns we find: v1 f 1.75x10 5 m/s v 2 f 3.03x10 5 m/s & 174 6.4 Solved Examples Example 6-5: A 0.2 kg baseball is travelling at 40 m/s. After being hit by a bat, the ball's velocity is 50 m/s in the opposite direction. Find:a) b) The impulse The average force exerted by the bat if the ball and bat are in contact for 0.002 s. Solution: 2. Choose the ball's initial direction of motion as the positive xdirection. I p = 0.2(- 50) – 0.2(40) = - 18 kg. m/s 3. = I/ t = - 18/.002 = - 9000 N (6-13) (6-14) Example 6-6: A 1000 kg car travelling at 22- m/s (about 50 mi/hr) hits a concrete bridge support and comes to a stop in 0.5 s. Find:a) The average force acting on the car and b) If the bridge support had been cushioned so that the stopping time was increased to 3 s, what would have been the average force?

Find the velocity of each object after impact if the collision is perfectly elastic. Solution: Given: m1 = 1 kg , m2 = 2 kg , v1i = 1 m/s and v2i = 0 m/s, we need to find and We use the conservation of momentum to write: m1v1i = m1v1f + m2v2f (1)(1) = (1)v1f + (2)v2f(6-17a) Conservation of kinetic energy gives us: 1 1 1 1 m1v 12i m 2v 22i m1v 12f m 2v 22f 2 2 2 2 2 2 (1)(12) = (1)v 1f (2)v 2f (6-17b) We must solve two equations for two unknowns. The first equation gives v2f = 1/2 – ½ v1f. Substituting it into the second equation gives, 176 1 v 1f 1 = v 2 2 1 2v 1f v 1f 2 2 v 2 1 0 = 1f 4 2 2 1f = 2v 12f 1 2v 1f v 12f 2 = 3v 12f 2v 1f 1 0 = (3v1f + 1)(v1f - 1) (6-18) The solutions are v1f = 1 m/s andv1f = - 1/3 m/s.The second solution corresponds to the situation where the two objects miss each other, and the first continues on with it's speed unchanged. The second solution is the one we want. Substituting it back into the first equation gives, v2f = 1/2 (1 - v1f) = 1/2 (1 + 1/3) = 2/3 m/s. (6-19) Example 6-8: Suppose the collision in the previous problem was completely inelastic. Find:a) The velocity of the objects after impact b) The fraction of the kinetic energy lost during the collision. Solution: a) The conservation of momentum gives, 177 m1v1i + m2 v2i= (m1 + m2)vf vf= 1/3 m/s (6-20) b) Then K.Ei = 1/2 (1)(12) = 1/2J and K.Ef = 1/2 (1 + 2)(1/3)2 = 1/6J . The percentage of K.E that is lost is:- K.Elost% KE i KE f x 100% = KE i = 1 2 1 6 12 x 100% 66% (6-21) Example 6-9: In the ballistic pendulum experiment, a bullet of mass 0.06 kg is fired horizontally into a wooden block of mass 0.2 kg. The wooden block is suspended from the ceiling by a long string as shown in figure (6.6) the diagram. The collision is perfectly inelastic and after impact the bullet and the block swing together until the block is 0.12 m above its initial position. Find:a) The velocity of the bullet and block just after impact b) The velocity of the bullet just before impact. See Figure (6.7). Solution: Figure (6.6):-(Example 9) 178 Note: In Figure 6.7, point A is just before the bullet strikes the block, point B is just after the bullet strikes the block and point C is when the bullet and block reach their maximum height. We want to find vB , the velocity of the bullet and block combination just after impact, and vA , the velocity of the bullet just before impact. a) Energy is conserved between points B and C: PEC = KEB (m1 + m2)gh = 1/2 (m1 + m2) vB = 2gh = 2(9.8)(0.12) = 1.53 m/s. (6-22) b) Momentum is conserved between A and B: m1vA + 0 = (m1 + m2)vB m1 m 2 0.2 0.06 v B 1.53 6.6m / s vA = m 0.06 1 (6-23) Example 6-10 Two discs of equal mass are involved in a perfectly elastic glancing collision. The second disc is initially at rest and is struck by the first disc moving to the right at 5.0 m/s. After the collision, the first disc moves in a direction that makes an angle of 370 with its initial direction, and the second disc moves perpendicularly to the first, as in Figure 6.7. Find the speed of each disc after the collision. 179 Solution: Figure 6.7 : Example 10 After Collision Before Collision We apply the conservation of momentum in the x and y directions. x : mv1i = mv1fcos 37o+ mv2fcos 53o y : 0 = mv1fsin 37o- mv2fsin 53o The y-equation gives v1f = 1.33v2f . Substituting into the x -equation gives, 5 = (cos 53o+ 1.33cos 37o)v2f v2f = 3.0 m/s (6-24) And, v1f = 1.33v2f = 4.0 m/s. (6-25) Example 6-11: A car weighing 1500 kg collides with a van weighing 2500 Kg at right angles in the center of an intersection. A detective arrives at the scene and finds that the car and van stuck together and skidded 15 m at Ө=530as shown in Figure (6.8). 180 Figure 6.8: Example11 vt car van After pulling out and doing some calculations, he charges the owner of the car with speeding (in a 60 km/hr zone), as well as running through a stop sign. How fast was the car going before going through the collision? Take the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road to be μk= 0.8 . Solution: From the length of the skid mark, he can calculate the speed of the car and the van immediately after the collision. First, find the acceleration of the pair of vehicles due to the force of friction. Ffr = - (mc + mv)a Ffr a = m c mv = k g mc mv mc mv k g 7.84m / s 2 (6-26) Then, using v = 0 (at the end of the skid), and d = 15 m , he can obtain the speed immediately after the collision from, v2 = v02 + 2ad v0 = 2ad 2(7.84)(15) = 15.33 m/s. (6-27) He can use the conservation of momentum to find the initial velocities. The x -component give :mcvci = (mv + mc)vfcos 53o vci = ( mv mc )v cos530 14.76m / s mc f = 53.2 km/hr (6-28) 181 and the y -component gives, mvvvi = (mv + mc)vf sin 53o vvi = mv mc ( )v f sin 530 32.7m / s mv = 117.6 km/hr> 60 km/hr Example 6-12 A soccer ball has a mass of 0.40 kg. Initially, it is moving to the left, but then it is kicked. After the kick it is moving at 45°upward and to the right with speed (as in Figure 6.9). Find:- the impulse of the net force and the average net force, assuming a collision time Δt = 0.010 s?. SOLUTION Figure (6.9):-(a) Kicking a soccer ball. (b) Finding the average force on the ball from its components. The ball moves in two dimensions, so wemust treat momentum and impulse as vector quantities. We take the x-axis to be horizontally to the right and the y-axis to be vertically upward. Our target variables are the components of the net impulse on the ball, and the components of the averagenet force on the ball, and we’ll find them using the impulse–momentum theorem in its component form, 182 EXECUTE: Using cos(450) = sin(450)= 0.707, we find the ball’s velocity components before and after the kick: v 1x 20m / s v 1y 0 v 2 x v 2 y (30m / s )(0.707) 21.2 m/ s The impulse components are J x p 2 x p1x m (v 2 x v 1x ) (0.40kg )[21.2 m/ s (20 m/ s)] 16.5 kg.m/ s J y p 2 y p1 y m (v 2 y v 1 y ) (0.40 kg)(21.2 m/ s 0) 8.5 kg.m/ s The average net force components are (Fave )x Jy Jx 1650N (Fave ) y 850N t t The magnitude and direction of the average net force are Fave (1650)2 (850)2 1.9x 103 N arctan 850N 270 1650N The ball was not initially at rest, so its final velocity does not have the same direction as the average force that acted on it. Example 6-13: Two gliders with different masses move toward each other on a frictionless air track (Figure a). After they collide (Figure b), glider B has a final velocity of +2.0 m/s (Figure c). 1- What is the final velocity of glider A? 2- How do the changes in momentum and in velocity compare? 183 SOLUTION IDENTIFY and SET UP: The total vertical force on each glider is zero, and the net force on each individual glider is the horizontal force exerted on it by the other glider. The net external force on the system of two gliders is zero, so their total momentum is conserved. We are given the masses and initial velocities of both gliders and the final velocity of glider B. Our target variables are , the final x-component of velocity of glider A, and the changes in momentum and in velocity of the two gliders (the value after the collision minus the value before the collision). EXECUTE: The x-component of total momentum before the collision is p x m Av A 1x m Bv B 1x (0.50kg )(2.0m / s ) (0.30kg )( 2.0m / s ) 0.40kg .m / s Figure: - Two gliders collide on an air track. This is positive (to the right in Figure above) because A has a greater magnitude of momentum than B. The x-component of total momentum has the same value after the collision, so p x m Av A 2x m Bv B 2x 184 We solve for:- v A 2x p x m Bv B 2 x 0.40kg .m / s (0.30 kg)(2.0 m/ s) mA 0.50kg 0.40m / s The changes in the x-momenta are: m Bv A 2x m Av A 1x (0.50kg )(0.40m / s ) (0.50kg )(2.0m / s ) 1.2kg .m / s m Bv B 2x m Bv B 1x (0.30kg )(2.0m / s ) (0.30kg )(2.0m / s ) 1.2kg .m / s The changes in x-velocities are: v A 2 x v A 1x (0.40m / s ) 2.0m / s 2.4m / s v B 2 x v B 1x 2.0m / s (2.0m / s ) 4.0m / s EVALUATE: The gliders were subjected to equal and opposite interaction forces for the same time during their collision. By the impulse–momentum theorem, they experienced equal and opposite impulses and therefore equal and opposite changes in momentum. But by Newton’s second law, the less massive glider B had a greater magnitude of acceleration and hence a greater velocity change. 6. 5 The Center of Mass: In this section, we describe the overall motion of a mechanical system in terms of a special point called the center of mass of the system. The mechanical system can be either a system of particles, such as a collection of atoms in a container, or an extended object, such as a gymnast leaping through the air. 185 The system moves as if the resultant external force were applied to a single particle of mass M m located at the center of mass. i i The center of mass of the pair of particles described in Figure 6.10 is located on the x axis and lies somewhere between the particles closer to the more massive particle. Its x coordinate is: m x m2 x 2 x CM 1 1 m1 m 2 Figure 6.10 The center of mass of two particles of unequal mass on the x axis is located at xCM, a point between the particles, closer to the one having the larger mass. CM If the two masses are equal, the center of mass lies midway between the particles. For a system of many particles in three dimensions, the x- coordinate of the center of mass is: x CM m i xi i M The y and z coordinates of the center of mass are given similarly by: y CM m i yi i M & z CM m i zi i M The center of mass can also be located by its position vector, r CM r CM m i ri i M 186 Example 6-14: The Center of Mass of Three Particles A system consists of three particles located as shown in Figure 6.11a. With m1 = m2 = 1kg and m3 = 2kg. Find the center of mass of the system. Figure 6.11 (a) Two 1-kg masses and a single 2-kg mass are located as shown. The vector indicates the location of the system’s center of mass. (b) The vector sum of m Solution: Using the basic defining equations for the coordinates of the center of mass, we obtain: x CM m i xi i yi i M m1 x1 m 2 x 2 m3 x 3 (1x1) (1x2) (2x0) m1 m 2 m3 11 2 m1 y1 m 2 y 2 m3 y 3 (1x0) (1x0) (2x2) m1 m 2 m3 11 2 x CM 0.75 m And: y CM m i M y CM 1.0 m Noting that zCM = 0, then the position vector of the center of mass is r CM x CM i y CM j 0.75 i 1.0 j 187 6-6 Exercises: 1.

These include angular velocity, angular acceleration, tangential velocity and acceleration and, centripetal acceleration. 7.1 Introduction Definition: Rigid Body A rigid body is one that does not deform during its motion. The distance between any two points in the rigid body remains fixed. Angles Describe Rotation of Rigid Body In order to completely describe the rotation of a rigid body about a fixed axis, O, it is sufficient to give the angle, θ, between the position vector of any point in the rigid body (for example the point P in the Figure (7.1), and some arbitrary, fixed reference line. p p o Figure (7.1): Rotation of a Rigid Body about the axis O. Definition: Radian The angle expressed in radians is defined as the ratio of the arc length, s , swept out by the angle, to the radius, r , of the corresponding circle: Ө (radians) = s/r (7-1) 195 Note: For a complete revolution, s = 2 r is the circumference, so that the conversions between revolutions, radians and degrees are given by: 1 revolution = 2 radians = 360 degrees (7.2) 1 radian = 360/2 degrees = 57.3 degrees. (7.3) Thus 7.2 Angular Velocity and Acceleration Definition: Angular Velocity Angular velocity wof a rigid body is the rate of change of its angular position. Thus, if θ=θ1,at t = t1, and θ= θ2, at t = t2, then the average angular velocity ( ) of the body over the time interval t = t2 - t1 is: 2 1 t 2 t1 t (7.4) For linear motion, the instantaneous velocity is obtained by making the time interval very small: ω = dӨ/dt (7-5) The units of angular velocity are most conveniently given in rads/sec, but can also be expressed in revolutions/sec or degrees/sec using the conversions given above. Definition:Angular Acceleration:Angular Acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity with time. The average angular acceleration ( ) of a rigid body over a time interval t = t2 t1 is: 196 (7.6) The instantaneous angular acceleration is obtained by taking a very small time interval: (7.7) The units of angular acceleration are normally radians/sec2. 7.3 Formulae for Constant Angular Acceleration In analogy with linear motion, when the angular acceleration, , is constant, we have: (7-8) Ө - Ө0 = t + 1/2 t2 (7-9) 2 02 2 ( 0 ) (7-10) In the above equations, Ө0and 0 are the angular position and angular velocity of the rigid body at t = 0. These can be compared to the analogous formulae for linear motion. 7.4 Relationship between Linear and Angular Quantities Figure 7.2: Circular Motion 197 Consider an object that moves from point P to P' along a circular trajectory of radius r , as shown in Figure (7.2). Definition: Tangential Speed The average tangential speed of such an object is defined to be the length of arc, s , travelled divided by the time interval, t : (7.11) vt = 0 The instantaneous tangential speed is obtained by taking t to zero: s t 0 t v t lim (7.12) Using the fact that: s=r (7.13) We obtain the relationship between the angular velocity of an object in circular motion and its tangential velocity: r t 0 t v t r lim (7.14) This relation holds for both average and instantaneous speeds. Note: The instantaneous tangential velocity vector is always perpendicular to the radius vector for circular motion. Definition: Tangential Acceleration The rate of change of tangential velocity of an object traveling in a circular orbit or path is known as Tangential acceleration. It is directed towards tangent to the path of a body as shown in the figure. 198 The average tangential acceleration is: at v t r r t t (7-15) Where is the average angular acceleration? Also, it can be given by: . Where is the change in angular velocity, dt is the change in time. Tangential acceleration in terms of distance is:The instantaneous tangential acceleration is given by: v t r t 0 t at lim (7-16) where is the instantaneous angular acceleration. Note: The above formula is only valid if the angular velocity is expressed in radians per second. 199 The direction of the tangential acceleration vector is always parallel to the tangential velocity, and perpendicular to the radius vector of the circular motion. Tangential acceleration formula is used to calculate the tangential acceleration and also the parameters related to it. It is expressed in meter per Second Square (m/s2). Example 7-1 A car accelerates uniformly on a circular path from a speed of 30 m/s to 60m/s in 10s. What is its tangential acceleration? Solution: Given: Initial velocity vi = 30 m/s, Final velocity vf= 60 m/s, Change in velocity dv = vf - vi= 60m/s - 30 m/s = 30 m/s Time taken dt = tf - ti= 10s - 0s = 10s The tangential acceleration is given by at = dv/dt = 30/10 = 3 m/s2. Example 7-2 A runner starts from rest and accelerates at a uniform rate up to 15m/s in the time interval of 8s, moving on a circular track of radius 40m. Calculate the tangential acceleration. Solution: Given: Initial velocity vi = 0, Final velocity vf= 15 m/s, Change in velocity dv = vf - vi = 15m/s - 0 = 15 m/s Time taken dt = 8s 200 The tangential acceleration is given by at = dv/dt = 1.875 m/s. 7.5 Centripetal Acceleration Consider an object moving in a circle of radius r with constant angular velocity. The tangential speed is constant, but the direction of the tangential velocity vector changes as the object rotates. Definition: Centripetal Acceleration Centripetal acceleration is the rate of change of tangential velocity: v t t 0 t ac lim (7.17) Note: The direction of the centripetal acceleration is always inwards along the radius vector of the circular motion. The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is related to the tangential speed and angular velocity as follows: vt2 ac r 2 r (7.18) In general, a particle moving in a circle experiences both angular acceleration and centripetal acceleration. Since the two are always perpendicular, by definition, the magnitude of the net acceleration attotal is: atotal ac 2 at 2 r 2 4 r 2 2 201 (7.19) Definition: Centripetal Force Centripetal force is the net force causing the centripetal acceleration of an object in circular motion. By Newton's Second Law: (7.20) Its direction is always inward along the radius vector, and its magnitude is given by: vt2 Fc mac m m 2r r 7.6 (7.21) SolvedExamples Example 7.3 A bicycle wheel of radius r = 1.5 m starts from rest and rolls 100 m without slipping in 30 s. Calculate:a) The number of revolutions the wheel makes, b) The number of radians through which it turns, c) The average angular velocity. Solution: a) If there is no slipping, the arc length through which a point of the rim moves is equal to the distance travelled, so that the number of revolutions is: n b) c) 100m 10.6 2 (1.5m ) = 2 n = s/r = 100/1.5= 66.7 radians.

Using : 2 02 2 Weget:- 2 (2 ) = 1.37 rad./s. The tangential velocity and acceleration are: -vt = r = (1.5 m )(1.37 rad/s ) = 2.06 m/s -a t = r = (1.5 m )(0.15 rads/s 2) =0 .225 m/s2. 203 Homework(to be solved by the student) A point on a bicycle wheel moves a distance s= 1.0 m.
