Momentum:- Momentum of a particle (p) is equal to the mass of the particle (m)
times velocity of the particle (v). So, p = mv
Newton laws of Motion:-
First Law (Law of Inertia): Everybody continues in its state of rest or of uniform
motion in a straight line unless it is compelled by some external force to change that
state.
Second Law: The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the
impressed force and takes place in the direction of the force.
So, F= dp/dt
This results force acting a body F is equal to the mass of the body m times acceleration
of the body a.
So, F = ma
Third Law:
To Every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
FAB = - FBA
Impulse:- Impulse of a force is defined as the change in momentum produced by the
force and it is equal to the product of force and the time for which it acts.
So, J = Ft
= mv – mu
Apparent weight of a man inside a lift:-
(a) The lift possesses zero
acceleration (fig-1): W = mg
(b) The lift moving upward with an acceleration a (fig-2):
W = mg + ma
= mg + mg
= 2 mg
(c) The lift moving downward with an acceleration a (fig-3):
W = mg – ma
= mg – mg
=0
Inertial mass (mi)- It is defined as the ratio between force F to the acceleration a a
produced in the body.
So, mi = F/a
Note: When the velocity of a body is comparable to the velocity of light, inertial
mass changes with velocity in accordance with following formula,
mi = mi0/√(1-v2/c2)
Here mi0 is the rest mass of body, v is the velocity of body and c is the velocity of
light.
Conservation of linear momentum:-
In an isolated system (no external force), the algebraic sum of the momentum of
bodies, along any straight line, remains constant and is not changed due to their
mutual action and reaction on each other.
Recoil of gun:- If m is the mass of the bullet, M is the mass of gun and v is the mass
of the bullet, then, velocity of the recoil of gun V will be,
Equilibrium of concurrent forces:-
? Forces are said to be concurrent if they meet at a
common point. Below figure shows three concurrent forces , and
Moment of the force = F×d
Here F is the force and d is the distance of line of action.
Momentum of a couple (Torque ( )):- Momentum of a couple is equal to the
product of force F and the perpendicular distance r between them.
Work done by a couple: (W)-
W= ×θ
Here is the angular displacement.
Connected motion (Pulley problem):-
(a) Driven body moving vertically:-
Acceleration of the system, a = (M-m/M+m) g
Tension in the string, T = (2Mm/M+m) g
The force on the pulley, F = (4Mm/M+m) g
(b) Driven body moving horizontally:-
Acceleration of the system, a = (M /M+m) g
Tension in the string, T= (Mm/M+m) g
The force on the pulley, F= [√2 (Mm) /M+m] g
Here g is the free fall acceleration.
Application of Newton’s third law on contact of two block:-
(a) Acceleration, a = F/(m + M)
(b)
(c) Contact force, F12 = (m/m+M) F = F21
Friction:- Whenever a body tends to slide over another’s surface, an opposing force,
called force of friction comes into play. This force acts tangentially to the interface of
two bodies.
Static friction:- Static friction is the force of friction between two surfaces so long
as there is no relative motion between them. It is always equal to the applied force.
The static frictional forces are incorporated in the following inequality.
fs ≤ µsN
The magnitude of static friction fs (static frictional force) has a maximum value fs,max
that is given by,
fs,max = µsN
Here µs is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the normal force.
So, coefficient of static friction, µs= fs,max /N
Kinetic friction:- Kinetic friction is the force of friction which comes into play
between two surfaces when there is some relative motion between them. The
magnitude of force of kinetic friction fk (kinetic frictional force) is proportional to the
normal force N.
So, fk = µk N
Here µk is the coefficient of kinetic friction.
Thus, coefficient of kinetic friction, µk = fk/N
µk ?µs
Rolling friction:- Force of friction which comes into play, between two surfaces,
while one is rolling over the other is called rolling friction. Rolling friction is similar to
kinetic friction.
So, fr = µr N
Here µr is the coefficient of rolling friction and N is the normal force.
Angle of Friction:-
The angle made by the resultant reaction force with the vertical (normal reaction)
is known as the angle of the friction.
Now, in the triangle OAB
AB/OB = cotθ
So, OB = AB/ cotθ
= AB tanθ
Or, tanθ = OB/AB
=f/N
So, tanθ = f / N = µs
Angle of Repose:- It is the angle which an inclined plane makes with the horizontal
so that a body placed over it just begins to slide of its own accord.
Consider a body of mass m resting on an inclined plane of inclinationq. The forces
acting on the body are shown – Ff being the force of friction. If friction is large enough,
the body will not slide down.
along x: mg sin θ – f = 0 …(1)
Along y: N –mg cosθ = 0 …(2)
i.e. N = mg cos θ and f = mg sin θ
Thus, gives,
mg sin θ ≤ mg cos θ
So, tan θ ≤ . This signifies, the coefficient of static friction between the two
surfaces, in order that the body doesn’t slide down.
When q is increased, then tan θ > . Thus sliding begins, and the angle θ r = tan-1
. This angle is known as the angle of repose.
Acceleration on a horizontal plane:- a = (F - µkN)/m
If be the acceleration of frame, the pseudo force will be,
(Example: centrifugal force = mv2/r = mrω2)
Gravitational mass (mg):-
mg = F /g
= FG r2/GM
Here, g is the free fall acceleration, FG is the gravitational force and G is the gravitational
constant.
