    This document provides an overview of topics to be covered in a thermodynamics course, including basic principles like mass, density, pressure, and temperature; conservation of energy concepts like potential and kinetic energy; the ideal gas law and processes involving ideal gases; gas cycles like the Carnot cycle; and internal combustion engine cycles like the Otto and Diesel cycles. It also summarizes Newton's three laws of motion - objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted on by an external force (1st law), acceleration is proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass (2nd law), and for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (3rd law). Sample problems are provided to illustrate applying the concepts.

    Newton’s Laws of Motion
    • Basis of Formulation of Mechanics
    • Newton’s work is the foundation of classical, or Newtonian mechanics. Classical
    Mechanics describes the relationship between the motion of objects found in our
    everyday world and the forces acting on them.
    • The three laws are simple and sensible. The first law states that a force must
    be applied to an object in order to change its velocity. Changing an object’s
    velocity means accelerating it, which implies a relationship between force and
    acceleration. This relationship, the second law, states that the net force on an
    object equals the object’s mass times its acceleration. Finally, the third law
    says that whenever we push on something, it pushes back with equal force in
    the opposite direction.
    Newton’s First Law of Motion
    • If a particle is at rest (or moving with constant velocity in a straight line), it will remain at
    rest (or continue to move with constant velocity in a straight line) unless acted upon by a
    force.
    • Objects at rest tend to remain at rest and objects in motion tend to remain in motion at the
    same speed and in the same direction, unless acted on by an external force.
    • A particle originally at rest, or moving in a straight line with constant velocity, tends to
    remain in this state provided the particle is not subjected to an unbalanced force.
    • The tendency of an object to continue in its original state of motion is called inertia.
    Newton’s Second Law of Motion
    • A particle of mass “m” acted upon by an unbalanced force “F” experiences an
    acceleration “a” that has the same direction as the force and a magnitude that is directly
    proportional to the force.
    • The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and
    inversely proportional to its mass.
    • A particle acted upon by a force will accelerate in the direction of the force. The
    magnitude of the acceleration is proportional to the magnitude of the force and inversely
    proportional to the mass of the particle.
    • Weight is the force of gravitation acting on a body.
    Newton’s Third Law of Motion
    • For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; that is, the forces of interaction
    between two particles are equal in magnitude and oppositely directed along the same line
    of action.
    • The mutual forces of action and reaction between two particles are equal, opposite, and
    collinear.
    • This law states that a single isolated force can’t exist. Force, in nature, always exist in
    pairs.
    • The action force is equal in magnitude to the reaction force and opposite in direction. In
    all cases, the action and reaction forces act on different objects.
    Sample Problems:
    • 1. What is the weight of a 66-Kg man at standard condition?
    • 2. The weight of an object is 50lb. What is its mass at standard condition?
    • 3. A 20kg object that can move freely is subjected to a resultant force of 45N. Find the acceleration
    of the object.
    • 4. A person weighs 30 lb on the moon, where g = 5.32 ft/s2. Determine (a) the mass of the person
    and (b) the weight of the person on earth.
