    The Conservation of Energy.


    s2
    I. U = -W = - F . ds , here F must be a conservative force, i.e. a force such that the

    path, e.g. gravitation.

    III. Momentum: p = mv
    dp
    IV. Newton's actual expression for the second law: F = dt
    V. Momentum is conserved if no external force acts on a system.
    Collisions.

    I. Impulse = J = Fdt = p

    this is actually an integral form for F =

    t1

    dp
    , where
    dt

    impulse, Fdt, equals the change in momentum.

    II. Elastic Collisions are those in which Kinetic Energy is conserved.


    III. If particles stick together as the result of a collision, they will have lost as much of their
    kinetic energy as the law of conservation of momentum will all. We call such
    collisions completely inelastic.

    Rolling, Torque, and Angular Momentum


    I. For Rolling without slipping: vcm = R
    II. The Kinetic Energy of a rigid body undergoing both rotation and translation can be
    expressed as:
    A) K = Kcm+ K rot = 12 mv2 + 12 I2 , or
    B) K = 12 Ip 2 , where I p is the moment of inertia about a stationary
    axis parallel to the axis of rotation, e.g. an axis through the point of
    contact of a rolling object and a surface.
    dL
    V. l = r X p
    VI. L = l
    VII. = dt
    VIII. Angular Momentum, L , is conserved if no external torques act on the object.
    IX. L = I component parallel to the axis for a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis
    Equilibrium and Elasticity.
    I. The two conditions for equilibrium are:
    A) F = 0 a = 0
    B) = 0 = 0
    N.B. it is only external forces and torques that can accelrate a system.

    II. Elasticity:
    A) In general: stress = modulus X strain
    B) For objects undergoing compression or tension
    1. the stress is defined as Force/Area
    2. the strain is defined as change in length/unit length
    3. the modulus is called Young's Modulus (E).
    F
    L
    A=E L
    Oscillations.
    -k
    d2x -k
    I. The Basic Condition for SHM: a = m x or 2 = m x
    dt
    II. The solution for the differential equation in I. is always of the form:
    x = A sin(t + ) or the equivalent x = A cos(t + ) the difference being in the
    choice of .

    dt
    dt

    , where T is the period.

    1
    IV. f = T , where f is the frequency. ( sometimes ,"nu", is used for frequency)
    V. is determined as follows for different applications:
    A) Spring ("massless") of constant k with a mass m attached
    k
    = m
    B) Simple Pendulum, mass on an end of a "massless" string
    g
    = L
    C) Torsion Pendulum, where = - , substitutes for F = -kx
    =
    D) Physical Pendulum
    =

    I
    mgh
    where h is the distance from the cm to the pivot
    I
    and I is taken about the pivot.

    Gravitation.
    I. Newton's law of gravitation: F = G

    m1 m2
    r2

    This applies directly to "point masses and in the region outside of spherical masses.
    Calculus must be used to sum up the gravitation forces due to masses of other shapes.

    mM
    II. U = -G r , the potential energy "stored" in a two mas system due to their gravitational
    attraction. Masses must be points or spherical. The negative sign comes from assigning the
    value of potential energy at infinity as zero.

    III. Motion of a Satellite/Planet: Combining the Law of Gravitation and the Second Law can yield
    the following basic equations
    GM
    Where M is the mass of the object at the
    r
    center of the orbit.
    2r
    B) From A) the period of the orbit can be found from T =
    A) Orbital Speed v =

    2GM
    C) Escape speed near the surface of a body v =
    R
    IV. Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion.
    A) The Law of Orbits. All planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun
    at one focus.

    B) The Law of Areas. A line joining any planet to the sun sweeps out
    equal areas in equal times.

    C) The Law of Periods. The square of the period, T, of any planet about
    the sun is proportional to the cube of the semimajor axis of the orbit,
    T2
    i.e. 3 = a constant.
    r
    These three laws can also be applied to orbiting systems other than the sun and its planets.
