(See fig). Ø Which of the following force pair is action-reaction pair? A: and f k, B: N and mg, C: both of above, D: none of above. Another Trivial Conceptual Quiz q A As shown below, an ideal spring with Hooke s constant of k=0.3n/m is being compressed at both ends by two forces of equal magnitude. If the magnitude of each force is 0.3N, what is the compression (i.e. the difference between the uncompressed and the compressed length)? Key: Newton s 3 rd Law is about two forces on two objects. N f k A: 0m, B: 1.0m, C:.0m, D: Some other value. mg Reminder: conceptual problems will make 1/3 of the exam.
Problem Solving Procedure q Identify all objects of interest in the problem q Draw ree Body Diagram for each of those objects, if forces are involved. q Set up x,y,z axes for each object. The orientation of the axes can be different for different objects. Choose the ones that fit best for the particular setting in the problem. q Decompose vector variables on axes. q Write down equations based on Newton s Laws and/or kinematics, separately for each object, in each direction. q Explore relationship between parameters among objects. (e.g. objects connected by tight string will have same acceleration value) q Solve equations for all unknowns. q Try to do all above analytically if possible. Use your calculator only at this stage to get numerical values. q Make sure your answers are not too ridiculer. (A car runs at 1000m/s?) q Supply units to all numerical answers. q Double check and submit your answer. A Trivial Exercise: Throwing Baseball q The gravitational force exerted on a baseball is.4 N down.

Reminder: Energy and Work q Kinetic Energy: KE ½ mv q Potential Energy: always associated with a conservative force for weight : U mg = mgh for spring : U elastic = ½ kx q Work: generally on a segment : W Δx = cosθ Δx on a path: W dx by conservative force: W = - (U f U i ) = -mg(h f -h i ) by weight = -( ½ kx f ½ kx i ) by spring force path Exercise 6 : Conceptual Quiz q A block is being pushed up along an inclined plane; A. Work done by gravity is positive, done by kinetic friction is negative B. Work done by gravity is negative, done by kinetic friction is positive C. Both are positive D. Both are negative. v Work done by gravity = -mgδh < 0 if Δh>0; v Work done by kinetic friction (on a stationary surface) is always negative q Energy Conservation, two forms: KE f KE i = Σ W (total work) KE f = KE i if no work at all. (KE f +PE f ) - (KE i +PE i ) = ΣW non_conservative KE f +PE f = KE i +PE i if ΣW non_conservative = 0 One additional quiz: A book of mass m, originally resting on the ground, is being picked up and put rest on a table of height h. What is the work to the book done by the picking up force? (0, mgh, -mgh, can not be determined) A Conceptual Quiz with Circular Motion q A particle of mass M, attached by a string with one fixed end at center C, is undergoing a uniform circular motion on a smooth horizontal table. (See figure below for a top view). The length of the string is R. The period of particle s motion is T. Be convinced that to maintain the uniform motion, the tension on the string must equal to T =MR(π/T). Ø During a half-period motion ( say, from point B to A), what is the work done by the tension? Α. πr T B. R T C. -R T D. zero E. none of above. One More Conceptual Quiz q Two mass blocks of 3.0 kg and 5.0kg are connected by a soft string around a frictionless pulley as shown. As the masses are moving, how does the system s potential energy change? A: Increasing B: Decreasing C: remains unchanged D: I would need more time to do calculation E: Not enough information to determine as the friction constants are not given 5
Problem Solving Procedure Ø Identify system (moving objects + earth + spring ) Ø Identify all forces (remember ree Body Diagram?) Ø or each conservative force, identify/use potential energy Ø or each non conservative force, calculate work(w). Exercise 7: Climbing up a Mountain q What is the minimum amount of energy required for an 80-kg climber carrying a 0-kg pack to climb Mt. Everest, 8 850 m high? (g=9.8 m/s ) A: 8.67 MJ, B:4.16 MJ, C:.47 MJ, D:1.00 MJ Ø Identify mechanic energy for initial and final states (E i and E f ) Ø E i = KE i +PE i = ½ mv i + mgh i + ½ kx i (if any) Ø E f = KE f +PE f = ½ mv f + mgh f + ½ kx f (if any) Ø Use energy conservation: W = ΔE = E f E i ( if W=0, use E f = E i ) At bottom KE i =0, PE i =0 ; At top KE f =0, PE f =mgh Minimum increase of mechanic energy is the increase of PE: ΔPE = mgh = (80+0)x9.8x8850 = 8.67 MJ Ø Solve for unknowns Exercise 8: Power q A car of a total mass of 100 kg (including passengers) is climbing up a slope of 18 o at a constant speed.
