How To Learn Lectures Study the Lecture slides after lecture. Ask yourself: What was the Point of the lecture? Try to understand the logic of what was asked. Homework Do nteractive Examples first: Use as much HELP as you need! Do the ollow-ups: they test whether you understand what you just did! Your initial score on the delayed feedback questions is your first indicator of your understanding. f you do not answer those correctly, try to understand why! Discussion Study the solutions after discussion. What was the point of asking those questions? KEYS OR PROBLE SOLVNG AVOD EQUATON HUNTNG THNK RST!! What concepts apply to the problem? What are the relevant variables? Which are known? Which are unknown? Develop a plan (first in English) Write down equations for relevant variables Solve Physics 100 Lecture 5, Slide 3
THE BG DEAS NOTE: THE BG DEAS ARE ALWAYS GVEN THE LAST SLDE 1. An object accelerates only when the total force on it is non-zero. 2. The weight of an object is always equal to 3. The Normal orce and Tension forces must be determined from ma Physics 100 Lecture 5, Slide 4
Thrown Ball A ball is thrown straight up in the air. Take up to be the positive direction What are the velocity (v) and acceleration (a) of the ball at its highest point? (A) v 0 a > 0 (B) v 0 a < 0 (C) v 0 a 0 (D) v 0 a 0 (E) v 0 a 0 + v Just before the ball reaches its highest point: what is its velocity? v 1 Just after the ball reaches its highest point: what is its velocity? v 2 Just as the ball reaches its highest point: what is its velocity? v 0 Just as the ball reaches its highest point: what is its acceleration? dv a a v v dt 2 v 1 v 2 -v 1 a + Physics 100 Lecture 5, Slide 5
A ball is thrown straight up in the air. CheckPoint 1 How many forces are acting on the ball at its highest point? (A) 0 (B) 1 (C) 2 (D) 3 (E) Greater than 3 You said: The ball is not moving at its highest point so there are no forces acting on the ball at that moment. weight is the only force acting on the ball the gravitational force and the force exerted to throw it into the air We know a g throughout the flight of the ball! The net force at all times then must be given by: ma mg (the weight!!) 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 A B C D E Physics 100 Lecture 5, Slide 6

CheckPoint 2 n both cases shown, forces of equal magnitude,, are exerted on identical blocks. The forces are directed parallel to the frictionless surfaces Compare a to a : (A) (B) (C) a < a a a a > a You said: Case 1 has gravity acting against it at angle theta while case 2 is acting at a 90 degree angle. n case 1 part of the force is used to counteract that of gravity while case 2 all of the force is used to move the box Acceleration orce/mass, so since the blocks have the same mass and each block has the same force acting upon it, the acceleration is equal. t takes a greater acceleration to push the object up a incline than to push it straight across a surface. 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 A B C Physics 100 Lecture 5, Slide 9

CheckPoint 3 Both elevators shown carry identical crates and are moving down. n Case, the elevator is slowing down, while in Case the elevator is speeding up. Compare to : (A) < (B) (C) > You said: The acceleration is positive in case two where it is negative in case one, the overall force of case two is greater. would say the normal forces are equal in both cases because its pushing against identical crates. N1 has more force opposing the fall, this is why it is slowing down. N2 has less force opposing the fall, this is why it speeds up 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 A B C Physics 100 Lecture 5, Slide 13

CheckPoint 4 n both cases shown identical signs are suspended from the ceiling. One string is used in Case, while two strings, each making an angle of θ 20 o with the horizontal, are used in Case. Compare T to T L : (A) T < T L (B) T T L (C) T > T L You said: n case, the tension equals to the mass of the object (except the signs are different). n case, the x and the y components of the tensions have to be considered in order to find the value of TL or TR. LET S DO THE EXPERENT!! The similarity in angles calls for the tension to be equal. the sum of TL and TR will equal T since both cases are at equilibrium, therefore T must be greater than TL 100 80 60 40 20 0 A B C Physics 100 Lecture 5, Slide 16
