Quantity: scalar SI unit: meter (m) Displacement, s Speed,v (a) The distance in a specified direction. (b) the distance between two locations measured along the shortest path connecting them in a specific direction. (c) The distance of its final position from its initial position in a specified direction. Quantity: vector Speed is the rate of change of distance Speed = Dis tan ce time SI unit: meter (m) Quantity: scalar SI unit: m s -1 Velocity, v Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. Velocity = Displacement time Direction of velocity is the direction of displacement Quantity : Vector SI unit: m s -1 Average speed Average velocity TotalDis tan t v = TotalTime v Displacement TotalTime Example: A car moves at an average speed / velocity of 20 ms -1 On average, the car moves a distance/ displacement of 20 m in 1 second for the whole journey. Uniform speed Uniform velocity An object has a nonuniform velocity if Acceleration, a Speed that remains the same in magnitude without considering its direction Velocity that remains the same in magnitude and direction (a) The direction of motion changes or the motion is not linear. (b) The magnitude of its velocity changes. When the velocity of an object increases, the object is said to be accelerating. 2-1

3 v u a t Unit: ms -2 Acceleration is positive Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity Change in velocity Acceleration= Time taken Final velocity,v - Initial velocity,u = Time taken,t The velocity of an object increases from an initial velocity, u, to a higher final velocity, v Deceleration acceleration is negative. The rate of decrease in speed in a specified direction. The velocity of an object decreases from an initial velocity, u, to a lower final velocity, v. Zero acceleration Constant acceleration An object moving at a constants velocity, that is, the magnitude and direction of its velocity remain unchanged is not accelerating Velocity increases at a uniform rate. When a car moves at a constant or uniform acceleration of 5 ms -2, its velocity increases by 5 ms -1 for every second that the car is in motion. 1. Constant = uniform 2. increasing velocity = acceleration 3. decreasing velocity = deceleration 4. zero velocity = object at stationary / at rest 5. negative velocity = object moves in opposite direction 6. zero acceleration = constant velocity 7. negative acceleration = deceleration 2-2

12 2.3 I N E R T I A Inertia Newton s first law Relation between inertia and mass The inertia of an object is the tendency of the object to remain at rest or, if moving, to continue its motion. Every object continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless it is acted upon by an external force. The larger the mass, the larger the inertia SITUATION SITUATIONS INVOLVING INERTIA EXPLANATION EEEEEEEEJNVJLKN When the cardboard is pulled away quickly, the coin drops straight into the glass. The inertia of the coin maintains its state at rest. The coin falls into the glass due to gravity. Chilli sauce in the bottle can be easily poured out if the bottle is moved down fast with a sudden stop. The sauce inside the bottle moves together with the bottle. When the bottle stops suddenly, the sauce continues in its state of motion due to the effect of its inertia. Body moves forward when the car stops suddenly The passengers were in a state of motion when the car was moving. When the car stopped suddenly, the inertia in the passengers made them maintain their state of motion. Thus when the car stop, the passengers moved forward. A boy runs away from a cow in a zig- zag motion. The cow has a large inertia making it difficult to change direction. 2-10

13 The head of hammer is secured tightly to its handle by knocking one end of the handle, held vertically, on a hard surface. This causes the hammer head to continue on its downward motion. When the handle has been stopped, so that the top end of the handle is slotted deeper into the hammer head. The drop of water on a wet umbrella will fall when the boy rotates the umbrella. Ways to reduce the negative effects of inertia This is because the drop of water on the surface of the umbrella moves simultaneously as the umbrella is rotated. When the umbrella stops rotating, the inertia of the drop of water will continue to maintain its motion. 1. Safety in a car: (a)safety belt secure the driver to their seats. When the car stops suddenly, the seat belt provides the external force that prevents the driver from being thrown forward. (b)headrest to prevent injuries to the neck during rearend collisions. The inertia of the head tends to keep in its state of rest when the body is moved suddenly. (c)an air bag is fitted inside the steering wheel. It provides a cushion to prevent the driver from hitting the steering wheel or dashboard during a collision. 2. Furniture carried by a lorry normally are tied up together by string. When the lorry starts to move suddenly, the furniture are more difficult to fall off due to their inertia because their combined mass has increased. 2-11

14 2.4 M O M E N T U M Definition Momentum = Mass x velocity = mv SI unit: kg ms -1 Principle of Conservation of Momentum Elastic Collision In the absence of an external force, the total momentum of a system remains unchanged. Inelastic collision ƒ ƒ ƒ Both objects move independently at their respective velocities after the collision. Momentum is conserved. Kinetic energy is conserved. Total energy is conserved. ƒ The two objects combine and move together with a common velocity after the collision. ƒ Momentum is conserved. ƒ Kinetic energy is not conserved. ƒ Total energy is conserved. Total Momentum Before = total momentum after m 1 u 1 + m 2 u 2 = m 1 v 1 + m 2 v 2 Total Momentum Before = Total Momentum After m 1 u 1 + m 2 u 2 = ( m 1 + m 2 ) v Explosion Before explosion both object stick together and at rest. After collision, both object move at opposite direction. Total Momentum before collision is zero Total Momentum after collision : m 1 v 1 + m 2 v

15 From the law of conservation of momentum: Total Momentum = Total Momentum Before collision after collision 0 = m 1 v 1 + m 2 v 2 m 1 v 1 = - m 2 v 2 Negative sign means opposite direction EXAMPLES OF EXPLOSION (Principle Of Conservation Of Momentum) When a rifle is fired, the bullet of mass m, moves with a high velocity, v. This creates a momentum in the forward direction. From the principle of conservation of momentum, an equal but opposite momentum is produced to recoil the riffle backward. Application in the jet engine: A high-speed hot gases are ejected from the back with high momentum. This produces an equal and opposite momentum to propel the jet plane forward. The launching of rocket Mixture of hydrogen and oxygen fuels burn explosively in the combustion chamber. Jets of hot gases are expelled at very high speed through the exhaust. These high speed hot gases produce a large amount of momentum downward. By conservation of momentum, an equal but opposite momentum is produced and acted on the rocket, propelling the rocket upwards. 2-14

16 In a swamp area, a fan boat is used. The fan produces a high speed movement of air backward. This produces a large momentum backward. By conservation of momentum, an equal but opposite momentum is produced and acted on the boat. So the boat will move forward. A squid propels by expelling water at high velocity. Water enters through a large opening and exits through a small tube. The water is forced out at a high speed backward. Total Mom. before= Total Mom. after 0 =Mom water + Mom squid 0 = m w v w + msvs - m w v w = msvs The magnitude of the momentum of water and squid are equal but opposite direction. This causes the quid to jet forward. Example Car A of mass 1000 kg moving at 20 ms -1 collides with a car B of mass 1200 kg moving at 10 m s -1 in same direction. If the car B is shunted forwards at 15 m s -1 by the impact, what is the velocity, v, of the car A immediately after the crash? 1000 kg x 20 ms kg x 10 ms -1 = 1000 kg x v kg x 15 ms -1 v= 14 ms -1 Example Before collision After collision M A = 4 kg M B = 2 kg U A = 10 ms -1 r i g h t U B = 8 ms -1 l e f t V B 4 ms -1 right Calculate the value of V A. [4 x x (-8)]kgms -1 =[ 4 x v + 2 x 4 ] kgms -1 V A = 4 ms -1 right 2-15

17 Example Example A truck of mass 1200 kg moving at 30 ms -1 collides with a car of mass 1000 kg which is travelling in the opposite direction at 20 ms -1. After the collision, the two vehicles move together. What is the velocity of both vehicles immediately after collision? 1200 kg x 30 ms kg x (-20 ms -1 ) = ( 1200 kg kg) v v = 7.27 ms -1 to the right A man fires a pistol which has a mass of 1.5 kg. If the mass of the bullet is 10 g and it reaches a velocity of 300 ms -1 after shooting, what is the recoil velocity of the pistol? 0 = 1.5 kg x v kg x 300 ms -1 v = -2 ms -1 Or it recoiled with 2 ms -1 to the left 2-16

18 2.5 F O R C E Balanced Force When the forces acting on an object are balanced, they cancel each other out. The net force is zero. Example: Effect : the object is at rest [velocity = 0] or moves at constant velocity [ a = 0] Unbalanced Force/ Resultant Force When the forces acting on an object are not balanced, there must be a net force acting on it. The net force is known as the unbalanced force or the resultant force. Effect : Can cause a body to - change it state at rest (an object will accelerate - change it state of motion (a moving object will decelerate or change its direction) Newton s Second Law of Motion The acceleration produced by a force on an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force applied and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. The direction of the acceleration is the same as that of the net force. Force = Mass x Acceleration F = ma 2-17

19 Experiment to Find The Relationship between Force, Mass & Acceleration Relationship between a & F a & m Situation Both men are pushing the same mass but man A puts greater effort. So he moves faster. Both men exerted the same strength. But man B moves faster than man A. Inference The acceleration produced by an object depends on the net force applied to it. The acceleration produced by an object depends on the mass Hypothesis The acceleration of the object increases when the force applied increases The acceleration of the object decreases when the mass of the object increases Variables: Manipulated : Responding : Force Acceleration Mass Acceleration Constant : Apparatus and Material Mass Force Ticker tape, elastic cords, ticker timer, trolleys, power supply, friction compensated runway and meter ruler. 2-18

22 2.6 I M P U L S E AND I M P U L S I V E F O R C E Impulse Impulsive Force The change of momentum mv - mu Unit : kgms -1 or Ns The rate of change of momentum in a collision or explosion Impulsive force = change of momentum time mv mu t m = mass u = initial velocity v = final velocity t = time Effect of time Impulsive force is inversely proportional to time of contact Longer period of time Impulsive force decrease Shorter period of time Impulsive force increase Situations for Reducing Impulsive Force in Sports Situations Explanation Thick mattress with soft surfaces are used in events such as high jump so that the time interval of impact on landing is extended, thus reducing the impulsive force. This can prevent injuries to the participants. Goal keepers will wear gloves to increase the collision time. This will reduce the impulsive force. A high jumper will bend his legs upon landing. This is to increase the time of impact in order to reduce the impulsive force acting on his legs. This will reduce the chance of getting serious injury. A baseball player must catch the ball in the direction of the motion of the ball. Moving his hand backwards when catching the ball prolongs the time for the momentum to change so as to reduce the impulsive force. 2-21

23 Situations Situation of Increasing Impulsive Force Explanation A karate expert can break a thick wooden slab with his bare hand that moves at a very fast speed. The short impact time results in a large impulsive force on the wooden slab. A massive hammer head moving at a fast speed is brought to rest upon hitting the nail within a short time interval. The large change in momentum within a short time interval produces a large impulsive force which drives the nail into the wood. A football must have enough air pressure in it so the contact time is short. The impulsive force acted on the ball will be bigger and the ball will move faster and further. Pestle and mortar are made of stone. When a pestle is used to pound chillies, the hard surfaces of both the pestle and mortar cause the pestle to be stopped in a very short time. A large impulsive force is resulted and thus causes these spices to be crushed easily. Example 1 A 60 kg resident jumps from the first floor of a burning house. His velocity just before landing on the ground is 6 ms -1. (a) Calculate the impulse when his legs hit the ground. (b) What is the impulsive force on the resident s legs if he bends upon landing and takes 0.5 s to stop? (c) What is the impulsive force on the resident s legs if he does not bend and stops in 0.05 s? (d) What is the advantage of bending his legs upon landing? Answer: (a) Impulse = 60 kg x ( 6 ms -1-0 ) = 360 Ns 360Ns (b) Impulsive force = 0.5s =7200 N (c) He experienced a greater Impulsive force of 7200 N and he might injured his legs (d) Increase the reaction time so as to reduce impulsive force Example 2 Rooney kicks a ball with a force of 1500 N. The time of contact of his boot with the ball is 0.01 s. What is the impulse delivered to the ball? If the mass of the ball is 0.5 kg, what is the velocity of the ball? (a) Impulse = 1500N x 0.01 s = 15 Ns (b) velocity = 15Ns = 30 ms kg 2-22

25 2.8 G R A V I T Y Gravitational Force Objects fall because they are pulled towards the Earth by the force of gravity. This force is known as the pull of gravity or the earth s gravitational force. The earth s gravitational force tends to pull everything towards its centre. Free fall An object is falling freely when it is falling under the force of gravity only. A piece of paper does not fall freely because its fall is affected by air resistance. An object falls freely only in vacuum. The absence of air means there is no air resistance to oppose the motion of the object. In vacuum, both light and heavy objects fall freely. They fall with the same acceleration i.e. The acceleration due to gravity, g. Acceleration due to gravity, g Objects dropped under the influence of the pull of gravity with constant acceleration. This acceleration is known as the gravitational acceleration, g. The standard value of the gravitational acceleration, g is 9.81 m s -2. The value of g is often taken to be 10 m s -2 for simplicity. The magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity depends on the strength of the gravitational field. Gravitational field The gravitational field is the region around the earth in which an object experiences a force towards the centre of the earth. This force is the gravitational attraction between the object and the earth. The gravitational field strength is defined as the gravitational force which acts on a mass of 1 kilogram. g = m F Its unit is N kg

26 Gravitational field strength, g = 10 N kg -1 Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m s -2 The approximate value of g can therefore be written either as 10 m s -2 or as 10 N kg -1. Weight The gravitational force acting on the object. Weight = mass x gravitational acceleration W = mg SI unit : Newton, N and it is a vector quantity Comparison between weight & mass Mass The mass of an object is the amount of matter in the object Constant everywhere Weight The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on the object. Varies with the magnitude of gravitational field strength, g of the location The difference between a fall in air and a free fall in a vacuum of a coin and a feather. Both the coin and the feather are released simultaneously from the same height. A scalar quantity A base quantity SI unit: kg At vacuum state: There is no air resistance. The coin and the feather will fall freely. Only gravitational force acted on the objects. Both will fall at the same time. A vector quantity A derived quantity SI unit : Newton, N At normal state: Both coin and feather will fall because of gravitational force. Air resistance effected by the surface area of a fallen object. The feather that has large area will have more air resistance. The coin will fall at first. 2-25

27 (a) The two spheres are falling with an acceleration. The distance between two successive images of the sphere increases showing that the two spheres are falling with increasing velocity; falling with an acceleration. The two spheres are falling down with the same acceleration The two spheres are at the same level at all times. Thus, a heavy object and a light object fall with the same gravitational acceleration Gravitational acceleration is independent of mass Two steel spheres are falling under gravity. The two spheres are dropped at the same time from the same height.

32 2.10 WORK, ENERGY, POWER & EFFICIENCY Work Work done is the product of an applied force and the displacement of an object in the direction of the applied force W = Fs W = work, F = force s = displacement The SI unit of work is the joule, J 1 joule of work is done when a force of 1 N moves an object 1 m in the direction of the force The displacement, s of the object is in the direction of the force, F The displacement, s of the object is not in the direction of the force, F W = Fs s F W = F s Example 1 A boy pushing his bicycle with a force of 25 N through a distance of 3 m. Example 2 A girl is lifting up a 3 kg flower pot steadily to a height of 0.4 m. Example 3 A man is pulling a crate of fish along the floor with a force of 40 N through a distance of 6 m. Calculate the work done by the boy. 75 Nm What is the work done by the girl? 12 Nm What is the work done in pulling the crate? 40 N cos 50º x 6 Nm 2-31

33 Power Concept D Formula & Unit The rate at which work is done, or the amount of work done per second. Energy Energy is the capacity to do work. P = W t p = power, W = work / energy t = time An object that can do work has energy Work is done because a force is applied and the objects move. This is accompanied by the transfer of energy from one object to another object. Therefore, when work is done, energy is transferred from one object to another. The work done is equal to the amount of energy transferred. Potential Energy Gravitational potential energy is the energy of an object due to its higher position in the gravitational field. m = mass h = height g = gravitational acceleration E = mgh Kinetic Energy Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion. m = mass v = velocity E = ½ mv 2 No work is done when: The object is stationary. A student carrying his bag while waiting at the bus stop The direction of motion of the object is perpendicular to that of the applied force. No force is applied on the object in the direction of displacement (the object moves because of its own inertia) A satellite orbiting in space. There is no friction in space. No force is acting in the direction of movement of the satellite. 2-32

34 Principle of Conservation of Energy Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The energy can be transformed from one form to another, total energy in a system is constant. Total energy before = total energy after Example 4 A worker is pulling a wooden block of weight W, with a force of P along a frictionless plank at height of h. The distance travelled by the block is x. Calculate the work done by the worker to pull the block. [Px = Wh] Example 5 A student of mass m is climbing up a flight of stairs which has the height of h. He takes t seconds. What is the power of the student? mgh [ t Example 6 Example 7 A stone is thrown upward with initial velocity of 20 ms -1. What is the maximum height which can be reached by the stone? [ 10m ] A ball is released from point A of height 0.8 m so that it can roll along a curve frictionless track. What is the velocity of the ball when it reaches point B? [4 ms -1 ] 2-33

35 Example 8 A trolley is released from rest at point X along a frictionless track. What is the velocity of the trolley at point Y? [ v 2 = 30( ms -1 ) 2 ] [ v = 5.48 ms -1 ] Example 9 A ball moves upwards along a frictionless track of height 1.5 m with a velocity of 6 ms -1. What is its velocity at point B? [v 2 = 30( ms -1 ) 2 v = 5.48 ms -1 ] Example 10 A boy of mass 20 kg sits at the top of a concrete slide of height 2.5 m. When he slides down the slope, he does work to overcome friction of 140 J. What is his velocity at the end of the slope? [6 ms -1 ] 2-34
