Path of a Projectile motionPath of a Projectile motion
The parabolic trajectory of a particle that leaves the origin with a velocity of v0.
(changes with time)
Vx is the x-component of the velocity, (remains constant in time)Vy is the y-component of the velocity (0 at the peak of the trajectory,
but the acceleration is always equal to the free-fall acceleration and
acts vertically downward.
Horizontal and vertical motions are
completely independent of each other.

ProblemProblem11 A ball is thrown upwards with an initial
velocity of 10 ms1. Determine the maximum height reached
above the throwers hand.
Determine the time it takes the ball to reach itsmaximum height.
-
7/30/2019 Physics Booklet
39/226
www.eit.edu.au
SolutionSolution11Given:Initial velocity vi = 10 ms
1
Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8ms2.
At the maximum height the velocity of the ball is 0 ms1
Therefore,
vi = 10ms1 (it is negative because we chose upwards as positive)
vf= 0ms1
g = +9.8ms2
We can use: v2 f= v2i + 2gx
Substituting the values and solving forx we get:
x = 5.102m = height

The force directed outwards, away from the centre ofrotation due to the effect of inertia.
This is called a fictitious force.
Uniform circular motion The motion of a body traversing a circular path at
constant speed.
The change in velocity is only in terms of change in
direction.

Circular MotionCircular Motion (cont...)(cont...) Uniform circular motion in a horizontal plane
Example:
An object tied to a string is rotated in horizontal plane by virtue of the
tension in the string.
Ideally we cannot obtain uniform circular motion due to
gravitational pull.
In order to obtain, the string should be slanted such that thetension as applied to the object forms an angle with the
horizontal plane.
Horizontal component of the tension provides the needed centripetal
force Vertical component balances the weight of the object.

EquilibriumEquilibrium Stable equilibrium:
If displaced, the object returns back to its formerposition.
Unstable equilibrium:
The body if disturbed does not tend to return to its
former position, but tends to move further away from
it.
Neutral equilibrium:
If displaced from its position, it again stays in
equilibrium but in its new position.

time along the same path is called Periodicmotion.
Periodic motion can always be expressed in
terms of sine and cosine functions of time.Hence it is also knows as harmonic motion.

Every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force directed
along the line connecting the two. This force is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Assumptions of kinetic theory for an ideal gas
The number of molecules in the gas is large, and the
average separation between them is large compared
with their dimensions.
The molecules obey Newtons laws of motion, but as a
whole they move randomly. The molecules interact only through short-range
forces during elastic collisions.
The molecules make elastic collisions with the walls.

Nuclear ReactionsNuclear Reactions
Radioactivity can be of two types:
Natural radioactivity
Artificial radioactivity
Nuclear reactions It is possible to change the structure of nuclei by bombarding
them with energetic particles

them with energetic particles
FissionFission
Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy nucleus, such as235U, splits, or fissions, into two smaller nuclei.
In such a reaction, the total mass of the products is less
than the original mass of the heavy nucleus. The fission of235U by slow (low-energy) neutrons can be
represented by the sequence of events

represented by the sequence of events
About 200 MeV of energy is released in each fission event

FusionFusion
When two light nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus,
the process is called nuclear fusion.
There is a loss of mass, accompanied by a release of
energy. All stars generate their energy through fusion processes.

Energy liberated is carried primarily by gamma rays, positrons, and neutrinos.
Chain ReactionChain Reaction As discussed in previous slides neutrons are are emitted
when 235U undergoes fission. These neutrons can in turn trigger other nuclei to
undergo fission known as the chain reaction.

Nuclear ReactorNuclear Reactor
A nuclear reactor is a system designed to maintain what
is called a self-sustained chain reaction.
Uncontrolled chain reaction will proceed too rapidly and possibly
result in the sudden release of an enormous amount of energy(an explosion)

of neutrons from each fission event that will cause
another event. Neutron leakage
If the fraction leakage is large then the reactor will not
operate.
Nuclear ReactorNuclear Reactor (cont...)(cont...)
Moderator
In order for the chain reaction to continue, therefore, the neutrons
must be slowed down.
This is accomplished by surrounding the fuel with moderator. Most modern reactors use heavy water (D2O) as the moderator

To control the power level, control rods are inserted into the
reactor core These rods are made of materials such as cadmium that are
highly efficient in absorbing neutrons.
