1: Measurement
Physical quantities are measured in specific UNITS, i.e., by comparison to a reference STANDARD.
The definition of these standards should be practical for the measurements they are to describe (i.e., you can’t use a ruler to measure the radius of an atom!)
Most physical quantities are not independent of each other (e.g. speed = distance / time). Thus, it often possible to define all other quantities in terms of BASE STANDARDS including length (metre), mass (kg) and time (second).
REGAN PHY34210
10
SI UnitsThe 14th General Conference of Weights and Measures (1971) chose 7 base quantities, to form the International System of Units
(Systeme Internationale = SI).
There are also DERIVED UNITS, defined in terms of BASE UNITS,
e.g. 1 Watt (W) = unit of Power = 1 Kg.m2/sec2 per sec = 1 Kg.m2/s3
Scientific NotationIn many areas of physics, the measurements correspond to very largeor small values of the base units (e.g. atomic radius ~0.0000000001 m).This can be reduced in scientific notation to the ‘power of 10’ ( i.e., number of zeros before (+) or after (-) the decimal place). e.g. 3,560,000,000m = 3.56 x 109 m = 3.9 E+9m & 0.000 000 492 s = 4.92x10-7 s = 4.92 E-7s
REGAN PHY34210
11
Prefixes
• 1012 = Tera = T• 109 = Giga = G• 106 = Mega = M • 103 = Kilo = k• 10-3 = milli = m• 10-6 = micro = • 10-9 = nano = n• 10-12 = pico = p• 10-15 = femto = f
For convenience, sometimes,when dealing with large or smallunits, it is common to use a prefixto describe a specific power of 10with which to multiply the unit.
e.g.
1000 m = 103 m = 1E+3 m = 1 km
0.000 000 000 1 m = 10-10 m = 0.1 nm
REGAN PHY34210
12
Converting UnitsIt is common to have to convert between different systems of units(e.g., Miles per hour and metres per second). This can be done mosteasily using the CHAIN LINK METHOD, where the original valueis multiplied by a CONVERSION FACTOR. NB. When multiplying through using this method, make sure you keep the ORIGINAL UNITS in the expression
e.g., 1 minute = 60 seconds, therefore (1 min / 60 secs) = 1 and (60 secs / 1 min) = 1 Note that 60 does not equal 1 though!
Therefore, to convert 180 seconds into minutes,
180 secs = (180 secs) x (1 min/ 60 secs) = 3 x 1 min = 3 min.
REGAN PHY34210
13
Length (Metres)Original (1792) definition of a metre (meter in USA!) was 1/10,000,000 of the distance between the north pole and the equator.
Later the standards was changed to the distance between two lines on a particular standard Platinum-Iridium bar kept in Paris.
(1960) 1 m redefined as 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of the (orange/red)light emitted from atoms of the isotope 86Kr.
(1983) 1 m finally defined as the length travelled by light in vacuumduring a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.
• To Andromeda Galaxy ~ 1022 m • Radius of earth ~ 107 m • Adult human height ~ 2 m• Radius of proton ~ 10-15 m
REGAN PHY34210
14
Time (Seconds)Standard definitions of the second ? Original definition 1/(3600 x 24) of a day, 24 hours = 1day, 3600 sec per hours, thus 86,400 sec / day, 3651/4 days per year and 31,557,600 sec per year.
From HRW, p6But, a day does not have a constant duration!
(1967) Use atomic clocks,to define 1 second asthe time for 9,192,631,770 oscillations of the light of a specificwavelength (colour) emittedfrom an atom of caesium (133Cs)
REGAN PHY34210
15
Mass (Kg, AMU)1 kg defined by mass of Platinum-Iridium cylinder near to Paris.
Masses of atoms compared to each other for other standard.
Define 1 atomic mass unit = 1 u (also sometimes called 1 AMU) as
1/12 the mass of a neutral carbon-12 atom.
1 u = 1.66054 x 10-27 kgOrders of Magnitude
It is common for physicists to ESTIMATE the magnitude of particular property, which is often expressed by rounding up (or down) to the nearest power of 10, or ORDER OF MAGNITUDE, e.g.. 140,000,000 m ~ 108m,

2: Motion in a Straight LinePosition and Displacement.To locate the position of an object we need to define this RELATIVE to some fixed REFERENCE POINT, which is often called the ORIGIN (x=0).In the one dimensional case (i.e. a straight line), the origin lies in the middle of an AXIS (usually denoted as the ‘x’-axis) which is marked in units of length. Note that we can also define NEGATIVE co-ordinates too.
-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3x =
The DISPLACEMENT, x is the change from one position to another, i.e., x= x2-x1 . Positive values of x represent motion in the positive direction (increasing values of x, i.e. left to right looking into the page), while negative values correspond to decreasing x.
Displacement is a VECTOR quantity. Both its size (or ‘magnitude’) AND direction (i.e. whether positive or negative) are important.
REGAN PHY34210
19
Average Speed and Average Velocity
From HRW
We can describe the position of an object as it moves (i.e. as a functionof time) by plotting the x-position of the object (Armadillo!) at differenttime intervals on an (x , t) plot.
The average SPEED is simply thetotal distance travelled (independentof the direction or travel) divided bythe time taken. Note speed is a SCALAR quantity, i.e., only its magnitude is important (not its direction).

The average VELOCITY is definedby the displacement (x) divided by the time taken for this displacement to occur (t).
The SLOPE of the (x,t) plot gives average VELOCITY.Like displacement, velocity is a VECTOR with the same sign asthe displacement.
The INSTANTANEOUS VELOCITY is the velocity at a specificmoment in time, calculated by making t infinitely small (i.e., calculus!)

25Free-Fall Acceleration
At the surface of the earth, neglecting any effect due to air resistanceon the velocity, all objects accelerate towards the centre of earth with the same constant value of acceleration.This is called FREE-FALL ACCELERATION, or ACCELERATIONDUE TO GRAVITY, g. At the surface of the earth, the magnitude of g = 9.8 ms-2
Note that for free-fall, the equations of motion are in the y-direction (i.e., up and down), rather than in the x direction (left to right).
Note that the acceleration due to gravity is always towards the centre of the earth, i.e. in the negative direction, a= -g = -9.8 ms-2

283: Vectors• Quantities which can be fully described just by their size are
called SCALARS. – Examples of scalars include temperature, speed, distance, time, mass,
charge etc. – Scalar quantities can be combined using the standard rules of algebra.
• A VECTOR quantity is one which need both a magnitude (size) and direction to be complete. – Examples of vectors displacement, velocity, acceleration, linear and
angular momentum.– Vectors quantities can be combined using special rules for combining
vectors.

A particle undergoes UNIFORM CIRCULARMOTION is it travels around in a circular arc at aCONSTANT SPEED. Note that although the speed does not change, the particle is in fact ACCELERATING since the DIRECTION OF THEVELOCITY IS CHANGING with time. The velocity vector is tangential to the instantaneousdirection of motion of the particle. The (centripetal) acceleration is directed towards the centre of the circleRadial vector (r) and the velocity vector (v) are always perpendicular

Often in physicalsituations, the motion can be broken downinto two frames of reference, dependingon who is the OBSERVER.

475: Force and Motion (Part 1)If either the magnitude or direction of a particle’s velocity changes(i.e. it ACCELERATES), there must have been some form of interaction between this body and it surroundings. Any interaction which causes an acceleration (or deceleration) is called a FORCE.
The description of how such forces act on bodies can be described byNewtonian Mechanics first devised by Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1712)..
Note that Newtonian mechanics breaks down for (1) very fast speeds, i.e. those greater than about 1/10 the speed of light c, c=3x108ms-1 where it is replaced by Einstein’s theory of RELATIVITY and (b) if the scale of the particles is very small (~size of atoms~10-10m), where QUANTUM MECHANICS is used instead.
Newton’s Laws are limiting cases for both quantum mechanics and relativity, which are applicable for specific velocity and size regimes
REGAN PHY34210
48Newton’s First LawNewton’s 1st law states
‘ If no force acts on a body, then the body’s velocity can not change, i.e., the body can not accelerate’
This means that (a) if a body is at rest, it will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force, it; and
(b) if a body is moving, it will continue to move at that velocity and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force. So for example, (1) A hockey puck pushed across a ‘frictionless’ rink will move in a straight line at a constant velocity until it hits the side of the rink.
(2) A spaceship shot into space will continue to move in the directionand speed unless acted upon by some (gravitational) force.
REGAN PHY34210
49
Force
If two or more forces act on a body we can find their resultant valueby adding them as vectors. This is known as the principle of SUPERPOSITION. This means that the more correct version of Newton’s 1st law is
‘ If no NET force acts on a body, then the body’s velocity can not change, i.e., the body can not accelerate’
The units of force are defined by the acceleration which that forcewill cause to a body of a given mass. The unit of force is the NEWTON (N) and this is defined by the force which will cause an acceleration of 1 m/s2 on a mass of 1 kg.
Mass: we can define the mass of a body as the characteristicwhich relates the applied force to the resulting acceleration.
REGAN PHY34210
50
Newton’s 2nd Law
Newton’s 2nd law states that
‘ The net force on a body is equal to the product of the body’s mass and the acceleration of the body’
We can write the 2nd law in the form of an equation: amFnet
As with other vector equations, we can make three equivalent equations for the x,y and z components of the force. i.e.,
zznetyynetxxnet maFmaFmaF ,,, and ,
The acceleration component on each axis is caused ONLY by the forcecomponents along that axis.
REGAN PHY34210
51
If the net force on a body equals zero and thus it has no acceleration, the forces balance out each other and the body is in EQUILIBRIUM. We can often describe multiple forces acting on the same body using a FREE-BODY DIAGRAM, which shows all the forces on the body.

A body’s WEIGHT equals the magnitude of the gravitational force on the body, i.e, W = mg. This is equal to the size of the netforce to stop a body falling to freely as measured by someone at ground level. Note also that the WEIGHT MUST BE MEASURED WHEN THE BODY IS NOT ACCELERATING RELATIVE TO THE GROUND and that WEIGHT DOES NOT EQUAL MASS.Mass on moon and earth equal but weights not ge=9.8ms-2, gm=1.7ms-2

The normal force is the effective ‘push’ a body feels from a body to stop the downward acceleration due to gravity, for example the upward force which the floor apparently outs on a body to keep itstationary against gravity.

6: Force and Motion (Part II)Friction: When two bodies are in contact, the resistance to movementbetween their surfaces is known as FRICTION. The properties of frictional forces are that if a force, F, pushes an object along a surface(e.g., a block along a surface),
1) If the body does not move, the STATIC FRICTIONAL FORCE, fs is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the component of the pushing force, F, along the surface.
2) The magnitude of the frictional force, fs, has a maximum value, f s,max, which is given by f s,max=sN where s is the coefficient of static friction.
3) If the body begins to move along the surface, the magnitude of the frictional force reduces to fk=kN, where k is the coefficient of kinetic friction.
REGAN PHY34210
59Drag Force and Terminal SpeedWhen a body passes through a fluid (i.e., gas or a liquid) such as a ball falling through air, if there is a relative velocity between the body andthe fluid, the body experiences a DRAG FORCE which opposes thisrelative motion and is in the opposite direction to the motion of the body (i.e., in the direction which the fluid flows relative to the body).
The magnitude of this drag force is related to the relative speed of the body in the fluid by a DRAG COEFFICIENT, C, which is experimentally determined. The magnitude of the drag force is given by the expression for D, which dependson the fluid density (i.e. mass per unit volume, ), the effective cross-sectional area, A (i.e. the cross-sectional area perpendicular to thedirection of the velocity vector), and the relative speed, v.
2 2
1vACD
REGAN PHY34210
60
Note that the drag coefficient. C, is not really a constant, but rathera quantity associated with a body which can varies with the speed, v.(for the purposes of this course, however, assume C = constant).
The direction of the drag force is opposed to the motion of the object through the fluid. If a body falls through air, the drag force due to the air resistance will start at zero (due to zero velocity) at the start of the fall, increasing as the downward velocity of the falling body increases.

61Forces in Uniform Circular MotionRecalling that for a body moving in a circular arc or radius, r, with constant speed, v, the MAGNITUDE of the ACCELERATION, a, isgiven by a = v2/r, where a is called the centripetal acceleration.We can say that a centripetal force accelerates a body by changing the direction of that body’s velocity without changing its speed.Note that this centripetal force is not a ‘new’ force, but rather a consequence of another external force, such as friction, gravity or tension in a string.Examples of circular motion are(1) Sliding across your seat when your car rounds a bend:The centripetal force (which here is the frictional force between the car wheels and the road) is enough to cause the car to accelerate inwards in the arc. However, often the frictional force between you and your seat is not strong enough to make the passenger go in this arc too. Thus, the passenger slides to the edge of the car, when its push (or normal force) is strong enough to make you go around the arc.
REGAN PHY34210
62
(2) the (apparent) weightlessness of astronauts on the space shuttle.Here the centripetal force (which causes the space shuttle to orbit the earth in a circular orbits) is caused by the gravitational force of theearth on all parts of the space shuttle (including the astronauts).The centripetal force is equal on all areas of the astronauts body so he/shefeels no relative extra pull etc. on any specific area, giving rise to a sensation of weightlessness.
Note that the magnitude of the centripetal FORCE is given, (from Newton’s second law) by : F = ma = m v2/r
Note that since the speed, radius and mass are all CONSTANTS so is the MAGNTIUDE OF THE CENTRIPETAL FORCE. However, DIRECTION IS NOT CONSTANT, varying continuously so as to point towards the centre of a circle.
REGAN PHY34210
63
Example: At what constant speed does the roller coasters have to go to ‘loop the loop’ of radius r ?

At the top of the loop, the free body forces on the roller coaster are gravity (downwards) and the normal force (also inwards). The total acceleration isalso inwards (i.e., in the downwards direction).

7: Kinetic Energy and WorkOne way to describe the motion of objects is by the use of Newton’sLaws and Forces. However, an alternative way is describe the motionin terms of the ENERGY of the object.
The KINETIC ENERGY (K) is the energy associated with the MOTION of an object. It is related to the mass and velocity of a body by K= 1/2 mv2 , where m and v are the mass and velocity of the body.The SI unit of energy is the Joule (J) where 1 Joule = 1kg.m2s-2.
Work:`Work is the energy transferred to or from an object by means of a force acting on it. Energy transferred to the object is positive work, while energy transferred from the object is negative work.’For example, if an object is accelerated such that it increases its velocity, the force has ‘done work’ on the object.
REGAN PHY34210
65Work and Kinetic EnergyThe work done (W) on an object by a force, F, causing a displacement, d, is given by the SCALAR PRODUCT, W = F.d =dFcoswhere Fcos is the component of the force along the object’s displacement.This expression assumes a CONSTANT FORCE (one that does not change in magnitude or direction) and that the object is RIGID (all parts of the object move together).Example: If an object moves in a straight line with initial velocity, v0 and is acted on by a force along a distance d during which the velocity increases to v due to an acceleration, a, from Newton’s 2nd Law the magnitude of the force is given by F = max . From the equations of motion v2=vo

Since the gravitational force acts DOWNWARDS, and equals Fgr=mg ,the work done in moving the object upwards in the presence of this force is W=F.d = mg . d where d is the (vector) displacement in the upward direction, (which we assume is the positive y-axis).

68Spring Forces and Hooke’s LawThe spring force is an example of a VARIABLE FORCE.For a PERFECT SPRING, stretching or compressing gives rise to RESTORING FORCE which is proportional to the displacement of the spring from its relaxed state.

The INSTANTANEOUS POWER is given by dt
dWP
The SI unit of power = Watt (W), where 1 W= 1 J per sec=1 kg.m2/s3
Note that the imperial unit of horsepower (hp) is still used, for example for cars. 1hp = 746 W
The amount of work done is sometimes expressed as the product of the power output multiplied by time taken for this. A common unit for thisis the kilowatt-hour, where 1kWh = 1000x3600 J = 3.6 x106J = 3.6MJ.

768: Potential Energy & Conservation of Energy
Potential energy (U) is the energy which can be associated withconfiguration of a systems of objects.
One example is GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY, associated with the separation between two objects attracted to each other by the gravitational force. By increasing the distance betweentwo objects (e.g. by lifting an object higher) the work done on the gravitational force increases the gravitational potential energy of thesystem.
Another example is ELASTIC POTENTIAL ENERGY which is associated with compression or extension of an elastic object (such asa perfect spring). By compressing or extending such a spring, workis done against the restoring force which in turn increases the elastic potential energy in the spring.
REGAN PHY34210
77
Conservative and Non-Conservative ForcesIf work, W1, is done, if the configuration by which the work is done is reversed, the force reverses the energy transfer, doing work, W2. If W1=-W2, whereby kinetic energy is always transferred to potentialenergy, the force is said to be a CONSERVATIVE FORCE.The net work done by a conservative force in a closed path is zero.The work done by a conservative force on a particle moving between2 points does not depend on the path taken by the particle.
NON-CONSERVATIVE FORCES include friction, which causes transfer from kinetic to thermal energy. This can not be transferred back (100%) to the original mechanical energy of the system.
Work and Potential EnergyIn general, the change in potential energy, U is equal to the negative of the work done (W) by the force on the object (e.g., gravitational force on a falling object or the restoring force on a block pushed by a perfect spring), i.e., U=-W

81Turning PointsFor conservative forces, the mechanical energy of the system is conserved and given by, U(x) + K(x) = Emec where U(x) is the potential energy and K(x) is the kinetic energy.
Therefore, K(x) = Emec-U(x).
Since K(x) must be positive ( K=1/2mv2), the max. value of x which the particle has is at Emec=U(x) (i.e., when K(x)=0). Note since F(x) = - ( dU(x)/dx ) , the force is negative.Thus the particle is ‘pushed back.i.e., it turns around at a boundary.

82Equilibrium PointsEquilibrium Points: refer to points where, dU/dx=-F(x)=0.
Neutral Equilibrium: is when a particle’s total mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy (i.e., kinetic energy equals zero). If noforce acts on the particle, then dU/dx=0 (i.e. U(x) is constant) and the particle does not move. (For example, a marble on a flat table top.)
Unstable Equilibrium: is a point where the kinetic energy is zero at precisely that point, but even a small displacement from this point will result in the particle being pushed further away (e.g., a ball at the very top of a hill or a marble on an upturned dish).
Stable Equilibrium: is when the kinetic energy is zero, but any displacement results in a restoring force which pushes the particle back towards the stable equilibrium point. An example would be amarble at the bottom of a bowl, or a car at the bottom of a valley.

Momentum and Kinetic Energy in CollisionsIn any collision, at least one of the bodies must be moving prior tothe collision, meaning that there must be some amount of kinetic energy in the system prior to the collision. During the collision, the kinetic energy and linear momentum are changed by the impulse fromthe other colliding body.
If the total kinetic energy of the system is equal before and after collision, it is said to be an ELASTIC COLLISION. However, in most everyday cases, some of this kinetic energy is transferred into another form of energy such as heat or sound. Collisions where the kinetic energies are NOT CONSERVED are known as INELASTIC COLLISIONS.
In a closed system, the total linear momentum, P of the system can not change, even though the linear momentum of each of the colliding bodies may change.

10611: RotationMost motion we have discussed thus far refers to translation. Now we discuss the mechanics of ROTATION, describing motion in a circle.
First, we must define the standard rotational properties. A RIGID BODY refers to one where all the parts rotate about a given axis without changing its shape. (Note that in pure translation, each point moves the same linear distance during a particular time interval).
A fixed axis, known as the AXIS OF ROTATION is defined by one that does not change position under rotation.
Each point on the body moves in a circular path described by an angular displacement . The origin of this circular path is centred at the axis of rotation.
REGAN PHY34210
107Summary of Rotational VariablesAll rotational variables are defined relative to motion about a fixed axis of rotation. The ANGULAR POSITION, , of a body is then the angle betweena REFERENCE LINE, which is fixed in the body and perpendicular to the rotation axis relative to a fixed direction (e.g., the x-axis).
If is in radians, we know that =s/r where s is the length of arc
swept out by a radius r moving through an angle . (Note counterclockwise represent increase in positive .
x

s
r
Radians are defined by s/r and are thus pure, dimensionless numbers without units. The circumference of a circle (i.e., a full arc) s=2r, thus in radians, the angle swept out by a single, full revolution is 360o = 2r/r=2. Thus, 1 radian = 360 / 2= 57.3o
= 0.159 of a complete revolution.

The angular displacement, represents the change in the angular position due to rotational motion.In analogy with the translational motion variables, other angular motion variables can be defined in terms of the change (), rate of change () and rate of rate of change ( ) of the angular position.
REGAN PHY34210
109Relating Linear and Angular VariablesFor the rotation of a rigid body, all of the particles in the body take thesame time to complete one revolution, which means that they all have the same angular velocity,, i.e., they sweep out the same measure of arc, d in a given time. However, the distance travelled by each of the particles, s, differs dramatically depending on the distance, r, from the axis of rotation, with the particles with the furthest from the axis of rotation having the greatest speed, v. at and ar are the tangential and radial accelerations respectively.We can relate the rotational and linear variables using the following(NB.: RADIANS MUST BE USED FOR ANGULAR VARIABLES!)

110Rotation with Constant AccelerationFor translational motion we have seen that for the case of aconstant acceleration, we can derive a series of equations of motion. By analogy, for CONSTANT ANGULAR ACCELERATION, there is a corresponding set of equations which can be derived by substituting the translational variable with its rotational analogue.

To calculate I if the moment of inertia about a parallel axis passing through the body’s centre of mass is known, we can use I=Icom+Mh2, where, M= the total mass of the body, h is the perpendicular distance between the parallel centre of mass axis and the axis of rotation and Icom is the moment of inertia about the centre of mass axis.

119Rolling Down a RampIf a wheel rolls at a constant speed, ithas no tendency to slide. However, if thiswheel is acted upon by a net force (suchas gravity) this has the effect of speedingup (or slowing down) the rotation, causingan acceleration of the centre of mass of the system, acom along the direction of travel. It also causes the wheel to rotate faster. Theseaccelerations tend to make the wheel SLIDE at the point, P, that it touches the ground. If the wheel does not slide, it is because the FRICTIONAL FORCE between the wheel and the slide opposes the motion. Note that if the wheel does not slide, the force is the STATICFRICTIONAL FORCE ( fs ).

If both equal to zero, the object is in STATIC EQUILIBRIUM.If a body returns to static equilibrium after being moved (by a restoring force, e.g., a marble in a bowl) it is in STABLE EQUILIBRIUM. If by contrast a small external force causes a loss of equilibrium, it has UNSTABLE EQUILIBRIUM (e.g., balancing pennies edge on).

134The Centre of Gravity
The gravitational force acts on all the individual atoms in an object. In principle these should all be added together vectorially.
However, the situation is usually simplified by the concept of the CENTRE OF GRAVITY (cog), which is the point in the body which acts as though all of the gravitational force acts through that point.
If the acceleration due to gravity, g, is equal at all points of the body, the centre of gravity and the centre of mass are at the same place.
REGAN PHY34210
135ElasticityA solid is formed when the atoms which make up the solid take upregular spacings known as a LATTICE. In a lattice, the atoms take upa repetitive arrangement whereby they are separated by a fixed, welldefined EQUILIBRIUM DISTANCE (of ~10-9->10-10m) from their NEAREST NEIGHBOUR ATOMS.The lattice is held together by INTERATOMIC FORCES which can be modelled as ‘inter-atomic springs’. This lattice is usually extremelyrigid (i.e., the springs are stiff).Note that all rigid bodies are however, to some extent ELASTIC.This means that their dimensions can be changes by pulling, pushing,twisting and/or compressing them. STRESS is defined as the DEFORMING FORCE PER UNIT AREA= F/A, which produced a STRAIN, which refers to a unit deformation.The 3 STANDARD type of STRESS are (1) tensile stress ->L/L(stretching) ; (2) shearing stress -> x/L (shearing) ; and (3) hydraulic stress -> V/V (3-D compression).

If we plots stress as a function of strain,for an object, over a wide range, there is a linear relationship. This means that the sample would regain its original dimensions once the stress was removed (i.e., it is ‘elastic’). However, if the stress is increases BEYONDTHE YIELD STRENGTH, Sy,of the specimen,it will become PERMANENTLY DEFORMED.
If the stress is increased further, it will ultimatelyreach its ULTIMATE STRENGTH, Su, where the specimen breaks/ruptures.

14014: GravitationIsaac Newton (1665) proposed a FORCE LAW which described the mutual attraction of all bodies with mass to each other. He proposedthat each particle attracts any other particle via the GRAVITATIONAL FORCE with magnitude given byG=6.67x10-11N.m2/kg2=6.67x10-11m3kg-1s-2 is the gravitational constant‘Big G’ (as opposed to ‘little g’ the acceleration due to gravity).
221
r
mmGF
m1
m2
rF
F
The two particles m1 and m2 mutually attract with a force of magnitude, F. m1 attracts m2 with equal magnitudebut opposite sign to the attraction of m2 to m1. Thus, F and -F form a third force pair, which only depends on the separation of the particles, r, not their specific positions. F is NOT AFFECTED by other bodies between m1 and m2.
THE SHELL THEOREM: While the law described PARTICLES, if the distances between the masses are large, the objects can be estimated to be point particles.Also, ‘a uniform, spherical shell of matter attracts a particle outside the shell as if all the shell’s mass were concentrated at its centre’.

We have assumed the free fall acceleration g equal the gravitational acceleration, ag, and that g=9.8ms-2 at the earth’s surface,In fact, the measured values for g differ. This is because
• The earth is not uniform. The density of the earth’s crust varies. Thus g varies with position at the earth’s surface.
• The earth is not a sphere. The earth is an ellipsoid, flattened at the poles and extended at the equator. (rpolar is ~21km smaller than requator). Thus g is larger at poles since the distance to the core is less.
• The earth is rotating. The rotation axis passes through a line joiningthe north and south poles. Objects on the earth surface anywhere apartthese poles must therefore also rotate in a circle about this axis of rotation (joining the poles), and thus have a centripetal acceleration directed towards the centre of the circle mapped out by this rotation.

144Gravitation Inside the Earth‘A uniform shell of matter exerts no NET force on a particle locatedinside it.’
Therefore, a particle inside a sphere only feels a net gravitational attraction from the portion of the sphere inside the radius at which it is at.
In the example on the left, for = M/V = constanta planet of radius, R and total mass M. An object of mass m, which burrows downwards such that it is now ata distance r from the centre of the planet (with r < R ).The object will experience a gravitational attraction from the mass of the planet inside the ‘shell’ of radius r and none from the portion ofthe planet between radii r and the outer radius R.

147Johannes Kepler’s (1571-1630) Laws• THE LAW OF ORBITS: All
planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus.
• THE LAW OF AREAS: A line that connects a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in the plane of the planet’s orbits in equal times. i.e., dA/dt=constant.
• THE LAW OF PERIODS: The square of the period of any planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of the orbits.

If M >> m,the centre of mass of the planet-sun system is approximately at the centre of the sun. The orbit is described by the length of the semi-major axis, a and the eccentricityparameter, e. The eccentricity is definedby the fact that the eachfocus f and f’ are distanceea from the centre of the ellipse. A value of e=0 corresponds to a perfectly circular orbit.Note that in general, the eccentricities of the planetary orbits are small(for the earth, e=0.0167). Rp is called the PERIHELION (closest distance to the sun); Ra is the APHELION (further distance).

Fluids (liquids and gases), by contrast with solids, have the ability to FLOW. Fluids push to the boundary of the object which holds them.
Density has SI units of kg/m3 . In general, the density of liquids does
not vary (they are incompressible); gases are readily compressible.
Pressure: The pressure at any point in a fluid is defined by the limit ofthe expression, p = F /A as A is made as small as possible.If the force is UNIFORM over a FLAT AREA, A, we can write p=F/AThe pressure in a fluid has the same value no matter what directionthe pressure WITHIN the fluid is measured. Pressure is a SCALARquantity (i.e.,independent of direction). The SI unit of pressure is the PASCAL (Pa) where 1 Pa=1Nm-2. Other units of pressure include ‘atmospheres’ (atm), torr (mmHg) and lbs/in2
where 1 atm = 1.01x105Pa=760 torr = 760 mm Hg =14.7 lb/in2

156Pascal’s Principle‘ a change in the pressure applied to an enclosed incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of its container ’ i.e. squeezing a tube of toothpaste at one end pushes it out the other.
This is the basis behind the concept of the HYDRAULIC LEVER. A downward force on one platform (the ‘input piston’) causes a change in pressure of the INCOMPRESSIBLE LIQUID, resulting in the movement of a second platform (the ‘output piston’).For equilibrium, there must be a downward force due to a load on the output piston which balances the upwardforce, Fo.

158Archimedes’ Principle ‘when a body is fully or partially submerged in a fluid, a BUOYANTFORCE, Fb from the surrounding fluid acts on the body. The force isdirected upwards and has a magnitude equal to the weight, mfg of the fluid that has been displaced by the body.
If a body submerged in a fluid has a greater density that then fluid, thereis a net force downwards (Fg>Fb), while if the density is less than the fluid, there will be net force upwards (since Fb<Fg).
This net upward bouyant force exists because the water pressure aroundthe submerged body increases with depth below the surface (p=gh). Thus the pressure at the bottom of the object is larger than at the top.
For a body to float in a fluid, the magnitude of the bouyant force Fb, equals to the magnitude of the gravitational force Fg or, the magnitude of the gravitational force on the body is equal to the weight, mfg of the fluid which has been displaced by the body.The weight of a body in fluid is the APPARENT WEIGHT (Wapp)where Wapp= actual weight - magnitude of bouyant force.Since floating bodies have Fb=mg, their apparent weight is ZERO!

159Flow of Ideal Fluids In MotionThe flow of real fluids is very complicated mathematically. Oftenmatters are simplified by assuming an IDEAL FLUID.
This requires 4 basic assumptions:
A) STEADY FLOW: in steady flow, at a fixed point, the velocity of themoving fluid does not change in magnitude or direction. B) INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW: This assumes the fluid has constantand fixed density (i.e. it is incompressible).C) NONVISCOUS FLOW: Viscosity is a measure of how resistive a fluid is to flow and is analogous to friction in solids. For example, honey has a higher viscosity than water). An object moving through an ideal, non-viscous fluid experiences NO VISCOUS DRAG force(i.e. no resistive force due to the viscosity of the fluid). D) IRROTATIONAL FLOW: In irrotational flow, a body can not rotate about its own centre of mass as it flows in the fluid. (Note thatthis does not mean that it can not move in a circular path).

A2
If we have a tube of cross-sectional area, A1, which narrows to area A2. In a time interval,t, a volume V of fluid enters the tube, with velocity v1. Since the fluid is ideal, and thusincompressible, the same volume of fluid must exit the smaller end of the tube with velocity, v2, some time interval later. The volume of fluid element at both ends (V) is given by the product of the cross-sectional area (A) and the length it flows (x). Also, by definition, v=x/t thus,

171Forced Oscillations and ResonancesIf a body oscillates without an external force on the body, the bodyis said to undergo FREE OSCILLATION.However, if there is an external force periodically pushing the system(such as someone pushing a swing), this is known as FORCED or DRIVEN OSCILLATION.
2 angular frequencies are associated with a system undergoing forcedoscillations, namely the
(i) NATURAL ANGULAR FREQUENCY () of the system, which is the frequency at which the system would oscillate if it was disturbed and left to oscillate freely; and the(ii) ANGULAR FREQUENCY OF THE EXTERNAL DRIVING FORCE (d ) which is the angular frequency of the force causing the driven oscillations.
If =d, the system is said to be ‘in resonance’. If this condition is achieved, the velocity amplitude, vm is maximised (and so approximately is the displacement, xm).

17217: Waves - Part 1Waves describe situations where the energy of the system is spreadout over the space through which it passes. This is in contrast to particles which imply a tiny concentration of matter which is capableof transmitting energy by moving from one place to another.
There are THREE main types of waves:a) Mechanical Waves: These are governed by Newtons’s Law and can only exist within a medium (such as a taut string, water, air, etc.)b) Electromagnetic Waves: These are massless objects which require no medium to travel in. All EM-waves travel through vacuum at the same, constant speed (‘the speed of light, c=3x108ms-1). Examplesof EM waves are visible light, UV and IR radiation, radio-waves, x-rays and gamma-rays. (the only difference between these waves is their wavelength and their mode of origin, (atomic, nuclear etc.)c) Matter Waves: These are quantum descriptions of subatomic particles such as electrons, protons etc. They are described by the ‘de Broglie’ wavelength, dependent on the particle’s (lin.) momentum.
REGAN PHY34210
173Transverse and Longitudinal Waves
One way to investigate wave motion is to look at the WAVEFORM,which describes the shape of the wave (i.e. y=f(x)).Alternatively, one can monitor the motion of a particular element of thewave medium (e.g., a string) as function of time (i.e., y=f(t)).
In cases where them displacement of (for example) each element in anoscillating string is perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave,the wave said to be TRANSVERSE (i.e. a transverse wave, such aswaves on a string.)
By contrast, if the displacement is parallel to the direction of motionof the wave (as in sound waves), the motion is described at LONGITUDINAL (i.e., transmitted via a longitudinal wave such as sound).
REGAN PHY34210
174Wavelength and FrequencyTo completely describe a wave on a string (and the motion of any element along its length) a function which describes the shape of the wave as a function of time t, is required. This means we need a function of the form, y = f (x,t) , where y is the displacement in the ‘up-down’ direction and x is the position along the string.

The amplitude (ym) is the magnitude of the maximum displacement.The phase is the argument of ( kx-t ). As the wave passes through a string element at a position, x, its phase changes linearly with time. HRW p374
REGAN PHY34210

178Wave Speed on a Stretched StringFor a wave to pass through a medium, the particles in the medium must oscillate as the waves passes through. The medium must have mass (so the particles have kinetic energy = 1/2mv2) and elasticity (for potential energy = 1/2 kx2). The mass and elasticity of the medium determine how fast the wave can travel through the medium.

180The Principle of SuperpositionThe principle of superposition states that when several effects occur simultaneously, their net effect is the sum of the individual effects. Mathematically, this means, txytxytxy ,,,' 11 Overlapping waves add algebraically to produce a RESULTANT or NET WAVE.Note however, that overlapping waves do not in any wave affect each others travel.
Interference of Waves
If 2 sinusoidal waves of the same wavelength and amplitude overlap, the resultant wave depends on the relative PHASES of the waves.If they are perfectly ‘in phase’ they will add coherently, doubling thedisplacement observed for individual waves. By contrast, if they are completely out of phase (peaks of one wave matched by troughs of theother), they will completely cancel out resulting in a ‘flat’ string.

182PhasorsWaves can be represented in vector form using the idea of PHASORS.This is a vector whose amplitude is represented by the length which is equal to the magnitude of the wave and which rotates around the originof a set of Cartesian co-ordinates. The angular speed of the phasor about the origin is equal to the angular frequency, of the wave.
As the phasor rotates about the origin, its projection, y1 onto the vertical axisvaries sinusoidally between +ym and -ym.2 waves which travel along the same string in the same direction can be added using a PHASOR DIAGRAM.

183Standing WavesIf two sinusoidal waves travel in opposite directions along a string, their sum can be found using the principle of superposition. There are specific places along the resultant wave which DO NOT MOVE, known as NODES. Halfway between neighbouring nodes (the ‘anti-nodes’) the amplitude of the resultant wave is maximised. Such wave patterns are called STANDING WAVES since the wave patternsdo not move in the x-direction (i.e. they are stationary left to right).
If two sinusoidal waves of the same amplitude and wavelength travel inopposite directions along a stretched string, their intereference with each other produces a standing wave.

185Standing Waves and ResonanceA standing wave can be set up by allowing a wave to be reflected at a boundary of a string. The interference of the original (incident) andreflected wave can interfere to give rise to a standing wave. (Note that for ‘hard’ reflection, the reflection point must be a fixed node.)
HRW
If a taught string is fixed at both ends (such as in a guitar) and a continual sinusoidal wave is sent down from one end, it will be subsequently reflected at the other end. The reflected wave and the next transmitted wave will interfere. If more waves are continually sent from the generator, many such waves can add coherently.

At certain frequencies, such behaviour results in STANDING WAVEPATTERNS on the string. Such standing waves ‘RESONATE’ at fixed ‘RESONANT FREQUENCIES’. (Note that if the string is oscillated at a non-resonant frequency, a standing wave is NOT set up.)

18918: Waves - Part 2
Sound Waves: can be generally definedas longitudinal waves whose oscillationsare parallel to the direction of travel through some medium (such as air).
If a point source, P, emits soundwaves, wavefronts and rays describe thedirection of travel of the waves. Wavefronts correspondto surfaces over which the wave has the same displacement value. Rays are lines drawn perpendicular to wavefronts which indicate the direction of travel of the waves. Note that in real bodies, wavefrontsspread out in 3 dimensions in a spherical pattern. Far from the point source the wavefronts can appear as planes or straight lines to an observer.

190Speed of SoundThe speed of any mechanical wave depends on the physical propertiesof the medium through which it travels. As a sound wave passes through air, we can associate a potential energywith periodic compressions and expansions of small volume elements.The BULK MODULUS is the property which determines the volume change in a material when exposed to an external pressure (p=F/A).

When the motion of the detector or source are towards each other, the sign on its speed gives an UPWARD SHIFT IN FREQUENCY.When the motion of the detector or source are away from each other the sign on its speed gives a DOWNWARD SHIFT IN FREQUENCY.
