14:41:27 Set 4 probs 1-7 If we know the net force acting on an object and the time during which the force acts, we can find the change in what important quantity?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> the change in velocity
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:42:19 ** You can find the change in the momentum. Fnet * `ds is change in KE; Fnet * `dt is change in momentum. **
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> oops. `dmv

......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:46:36 What is the definition of the momentum of an object?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> the net force during a particular time interval
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:47:43 How is the impulse-momentum theorem obtained from the equations of uniformly accelerated motion and Newton's Second Law?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> mass * velocity = momentum
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:47:52 ** First from F=ma we understand that a=F/m. Now if we take the equation of uniformly accelerated motion vf= v0 + a'dt and subtract v0 we get vf-v0 = a'dt. Since vf-v0 = 'dv, this becomes 'dv = a'dt. Now substituting a=F/m , we get 'dv = (F/m)'dt Multiplying both sides by m, m'dv = F'dt **

14:49:07 If you know the (constant) mass and the initial and final velocities of an object, as well as the time required to change from the initial to final velocity, there are two strategies we can use to find the average force exerted on the object. What are these strategies?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 1. the impulse - momentum theorem 2. the equations of uniform motion.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:49:19 ** The impulse-momentum theorem for constant masses is m `dv = Fave `dt. Thus Fave = m `dv / `dt. We could alternatively find the average acceleration aAve = (vf - v0) / `dt, which we then multiply by the constant mass to get Fave. **

14:52:12 Class notes #14. How do we combine Newton's Second Law with an equation of motion to obtain the definition of energy?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> F = m*a vf^2 = v0^2 + 2a`ds vf^2 = v0^2 + 2(f/m)`ds F`ds = .5mvf - .5mv0 W = KEf - KE0
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:52:19 ** a = F / m. vf^2 = v0^2 + 2 a `ds. So vf^2 = v0^2 + 2 (Fnet / m) `ds. Multiply by m/2 to get 1/2 mvf^2 = 1/2 m v0^2 + Fnet `ds so Fnet `ds = 1/2 m vf^2 - 1/2 m v0^2--i.e., work = change in KE. **

14:54:51 What is kinetic energy and how does it arise naturally in the process described in the previous question?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Amn object in motion has the ability to do work. The KE = one half of the mass times velocity squared
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:54:59 ** KE is the quantity 1/2 m v^2, whose change was seen in the previous question to be equal to the work done by the net force. **

14:57:06 What forces act on an object as it is sliding up an incline?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> gravitational forces = mg normal forces = - gravitational force frictional forces force done on the system
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
14:58:34 ** Gravitational force can be broken into two components, one parallel and one perpendicular to the ramp. The normal force exerted by the ramp is an elastic force, and unless the ramp breaks the normal force is equal and opposite to the perpendicular component of the gravitational force. Frictional force arises from the normal force between the two surfaces, and act in the direction opposed to motion. The gravitational force is conservative; all other forces in the direction of motion are nonconservative. COMMON ERROR: The Normal Force is in the upward direction and balances the gravitational force. COMMENT: The normal force is directed only perpendicular to the incline and is in the upward direction only if the incline is horizontal. The normal force cannot balance the gravitational force if the incline isn't horizontal. Friction provides a component parallel to the incline and opposite to the direction of motion. **
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Normal force and gravitational forces onyl balance each other when the incline is horizontal.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:02:21 For an object sliding a known distance along an incline how do we calculate the work done on the object by gravity? How do we calculate the work done by the object against gravity?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> We multiply the mass by the acceleration of gravity and multiply that reslt by the altitude of the incline.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:03:26 ** The gravitational force is m * g directly downward, where g is the acceleration of gravity. m * g is the weight of the object. If we know change in vertical position then we can simply multiply weight m * g with the vertical displacement `dy, being careful to keep track of which is positive and/or negative. Alternatively it is instructive to consider the forces in the actual direction of motion along the incline. For small inclines the component of the gravitational force which is parallel to the incline is approximately equal to the product of the weight and the slope of the incline, as seen in experiments. The precise value of the component parallel to the incline, valid for small as well as large displacements, is m g * sin(theta), where theta is the angle of the incline with horizontal. This force acts down the incline. If the displacement along the incline is `ds, measured with respect to the downward direction, then the work done by gravity is the product of force and displacement, m g sin(theta) * `ds. If `ds is down the incline the gravitational component along the incline is in the same direction as the displacement and the work done by gravity on the system is positive and, in the absence of other forces in this direction, the KE of the object will increase. This behavior is consistent with our experience of objects moving freely down inclines. If the displacement is upward along the incline then `ds is in the opposite direction to the gravitational force and the work done by gravity is negative. In the absence of other forces in the direction of the incline this will result in a loss of KE, consistent with our experience of objects coasting up inclines. The work done against gravity is the negative of the work done by gravity, positive for an object moving up an incline (we have to use energy to get up the incline) and negative for an object moving down the incline (the object tends to pick up energy rather than expending it) **

15:08:11 prin and gen phy: 6.4: work to push 160 kg crate 10.3 m, horiz, no accel, mu = .50.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Multiply the m by the a to get the Force, Multiply the Force by the `ds to get the Work. The net force has to account for frictional forces as well. The force done by gravity is conservative. The net force consists of both conservative and nonconservative forces.
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:08:32 The net force on the crate must be zero, since it is not accelerating. The gravitational force on the crate is 160 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 1570 N, approx. The only other vertical force is the normal force, which must therefore be equal and opposite to the gravitational force. As it slides across the floor the crate experiences a frictional force, opposite its direction of motion, which is equal to mu * normal force, or .50 * 1570 N = 780 N, approx.. The only other horizontal force is exerted by the movers, and since the net force on the crate is zero the movers must be exerting a force of 780 N in the direction of motion. The work the movers do in 10.3 m is therefore work = Fnet * `ds = 780 N * 10.3 m = 8000 N m = 8000 J, approx..

15:08:35 gen phy prob 6.9: force and work accelerating helicopter mass M at .10 g upward thru dist h.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE -->
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:08:37 To accelerate the helicopter at .10 g it must experience net force Fnet = mass * acceleration = M * .10 g = .10 M g. The forces acting on the helicopter are its upward thrust T and the downward pull - M g of gravity, so the net force is T - M g. Thus we have T - M g = .10 M g, and the upward thrust is T = .10 M g + M g = 1.10 M g. To exert this force through an upward displacement h would therefore require work = force * displacement = 1.10 M g * h = 1.10 M g h.

15:08:39 **** Univ: 6.58 (6.50 10th edition). chin-up .40 m, 70 J/kg of muscle mass, % of body mass in pullup muscles of can do just 1. Same info for son whose arms half as long.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE -->
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:08:42 ** For each kg of mass the weight is 1 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 9.8 N. Work done to lift each kg of mass .4 m would then be 9.8 N * .4 m = 3.92 J. The chin-up muscles generate 3.92 J per kg, which is 3.92 / 70 of the work one kg of muscle mass would produce. So the proportion of body mass in the pullup muscles is 3.92 / 70 = .056, or 5.6%. For the son each kg is lifted only half as far so the son only has to do half the work per kg, or 1.96 J per kg. For the son the proportion of muscle mass is therefore only 1.96 / 70 = 2.8%. The son's advantage is the fact that he is lifting his weight half as high, requiring only half the work per kg. **

15:08:43 Univ. 6.72 (6.62 10th edition). net force 5 N/m^2 * x^2 at 31 deg to x axis; obj moves along x axis, mass .250 kg, vel at x=1.00 m is 4.00 m/s so what is velocity at x = 1.50 m?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE -->
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
15:08:45 ** Force is variable so you have to integrate force with respect to position. Position is measured along the x axis, so you integrate F(x) = - k / x^2 with respect to x from x1 to x2. An antiderivative of - k / x^2 is k / x so the integral is k / x2 - k / x1. If x2 > x1, then k / x2 < k / x1 and the work is negative. Also, if x2 > x1, then motion is in the positive x direction while F = - k / x^2 is in the negative direction. Force and displacement in opposite directions imply negative work by the force. For slow motion acceleration is negligible so the net force is practically zero. Thus the force exerted by your hand is equal and opposite to the force F = - k / x^2. The work you do is opposite to the work done by the force so will be - (k / x2 - k / x1) = k/x1 - k/x2, which is positive if x2 > x1. This is consistent with the fact that the force you exert is in the opposite direction to the force, therefore in the positive direction, as is the displacement. Note that the work done by the force is equal and opposite to the work done against the force. **
