## ---2 One dimensional kinematics

#### DefineDeltaVelocityAcceleration

• ${\displaystyle \Delta x=x_{2}-x_{1}}$ is the difference between two values of x (sometimes written as ${\displaystyle x_{f}-x_{i}}$ or ${\displaystyle x-x_{0}}$)

Velocity is the rate at which position changes. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. If the time interval is not infinitesimally small, we refer to these as "average" rates. The average velocity or acceleration is often denoted by a bar above:

• ${\displaystyle {\bar {v}}={\frac {\Delta x}{\Delta t}}={\frac {x_{f}-x_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{i}}}}$,       ${\displaystyle {\bar {a}}={\frac {\Delta v}{\Delta t}}={\frac {v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{i}}}}$.

Alternatives to ${\displaystyle {\bar {v}}}$ to are the brakcet ${\displaystyle \langle v\rangle }$ and the subscript ${\displaystyle v_{\text{ave}}}$. Instantaneous velocity and acceleration are derivatives, ${\displaystyle v(t)=dx/dt}$,   ${\displaystyle a(t)=dv/dt=d^{2}x/dt^{2}}$, and occur in the limit that ${\displaystyle \Delta x}$ and ${\displaystyle \Delta x}$ are small.

#### 1DimUniformAccel

• ${\displaystyle x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t+{\frac {1}{2}}at^{2}}$
• ${\displaystyle v=v_{0}+at}$
• ${\displaystyle v^{2}=v_{0}^{2}+2a\left(x-x_{0}\right)}$
• ${\displaystyle x-x_{0}={\frac {v_{0}+v}{2}}={\bar {v}}t}$   (Note that ${\displaystyle v_{\mathrm {ave} }={\bar {v}}={\frac {v_{0}+v}{2}}}$ only if the acceleration is uniform)

Call with {{Physeq1|transcludesection=1DimUniformAccel}}

#### 1dMotionCALCULUS

The distinction between average and instantaneous velocity lies in whether the time interval, ${\displaystyle (\Delta t\equiv t_{2}-t_{1})}$ approaches zero:

${\displaystyle {\bar {v}}={\frac {\Delta x}{\Delta t}}\qquad v\equiv \lim _{\Delta t\rightarrow 0}{\frac {\Delta x}{\Delta t}}={\frac {dx}{dt}}}$;     ${\displaystyle {\bar {a}}={\frac {\Delta v}{\Delta t}}\qquad a\equiv \lim _{\Delta t\rightarrow 0}{\frac {\Delta v}{\Delta t}}={\frac {dv}{dt}}}$

In the model of uniform acceleration, we take velocity to be a function of time, ${\displaystyle v=v(t)}$, and take the derivative:

${\displaystyle x(t)=x_{0}+v_{0}t+{\frac {1}{2}}at^{2}}$,

where ${\displaystyle {x_{0},v_{0},a}}$ are three constants:

${\displaystyle x_{0}=x(t=0)}$ is the initial position(at time, ${\displaystyle t=0}$).
${\displaystyle v_{0}=v(t)}$ is the initial velocity (at time, ${\displaystyle t=0}$).
${\displaystyle a}$ is the acceleration, which remains uniform throughout all time (in this model).

## ---3 Two-Dimensional Kinematics

#### 2DimKinematic

Two dimensional motion is where an object undergoes motion along the ${\displaystyle x}$ and ${\displaystyle y}$ axes "at the same time." The position of an object in two-dimensional space is defined by its ${\displaystyle (x,y)}$ coordinate.[1] By analogy with one-dimensional motion:

• ${\displaystyle x=x_{0}+v_{0x}\Delta t+{\frac {1}{2}}a_{x}\Delta t^{2}}$
• ${\displaystyle y=y_{0}+v_{0y}\Delta t+{\frac {1}{2}}a_{y}\Delta t^{2}}$.
• ${\displaystyle v_{x}=v_{0x}+a_{x}\Delta t}$
• ${\displaystyle v_{y}=v_{0y}+a_{y}\Delta t}$. It is not uncommon to replace ${\displaystyle \Delta t=t-{t_{0}}}$ by t (i.e. to set the initial time, t0 equal to zero.) In free fall it is customary to orient the coordinate system so that gravity points in the negative y-direction, so that
• ax=0   and   ay= -g , where g ≈ 9.8 m/s2 (at Earth's surface.)

#### DirectionOfMotion

The direction of motion is measured with respect to the x axis. At time equals t and 0, we have, respectively:

#### FrictionKineticStatic

• ${\displaystyle f_{k}=\mu _{k}N}$ is the force friction when an object is sliding on a surface, where ${\displaystyle \mu _{k}}$ ("mew-sub-k") is the kinetic coefficient of friction, and N is the normal force.
• ${\displaystyle f_{s}\leq \mu _{s}N}$ establishes the maximum possible friction (called static friction) that can occur before the object begins to slide. Usually ${\displaystyle \mu _{s}>\mu _{k}}$.

1     ${\displaystyle \Delta \ell =|{\vec {r}}_{2}-{\vec {r}}_{1}|}$, and ${\displaystyle \Delta v=|{\vec {v}}_{2}-{\vec {v}}_{1}|}$

2     ${\displaystyle \Delta \ell =v\Delta t}$ (rate times time equals distance).

3     ${\displaystyle \Delta {\vec {v}}={\vec {a}}\Delta t}$ (definition of acceleration).

4     ${\displaystyle \Delta v=a\Delta t}$ (taking the absolute value of both sides).

5     ${\displaystyle {\frac {\Delta v}{v}}={\frac {\Delta \ell }{r}}}$ (by similar triangles). Substituting (2) and (4) yields:

• ${\displaystyle \sum {\vec {F}}\cdot \Delta \ell }$ describes the work if the force is not uniform. The steps, ${\displaystyle \Delta {\vec {\ell }}}$, taken by the particle are assumed small enough that the force is approximately uniform over the small step. If force and displacement are parallel, then the work becomes the area under a curve of F(x) versus x.

## ---8 Linear Momentum and Collisions

#### MomentumConservation

• ${\displaystyle {\vec {p}}=m{\vec {v}}}$ is momentum, where m is mass and ${\displaystyle {\vec {v}}}$ is velocity. Momentum is conserved if the net external force is zero. The net momemtum is conserved if the net external force equal zero:
• ${\displaystyle \sum {\vec {p}}_{f}=\sum {\vec {p}}_{i}}$. In a simple, one dimensional case with only two particles:
• ${\displaystyle m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'}$ , where the prime denotes 'final'.

To avoid subscripts and superscripts, seek ways to simplify the formula. For example if the collision is perfectly inelastic (i.e. they stick), then it is more convenient to write:

• ${\displaystyle m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v'}$.

## ---9 Statics and Torque

#### TorqueSimple

* ${\displaystyle \tau =r_{\perp }F\,}$ where ${\displaystyle r_{\perp }=r\sin \theta }$

The SI units for torque is the newton metre (N·m). It would be inadvisable to call this a Joule, even though a Joule is also a (N·m). The symbol for torque is typically τ, the Greek letter tau. When it is called moment, it is commonly denoted M.[2] The lever arm is defined as either r, or r . Labeling r as the lever arm allows moment arm to be reserved for r.

## ---11 Fluid Statics

#### PressureVersusDepth

Pressure is the weight per unit area of the fluid above a point.

A fluid's pressure is F/A where F is force and A is a (flat) area. The pressure at depth, ${\displaystyle h}$ below the surface is the weight (per area) of the fluid above that point. As shown in the figure, this implies:

${\displaystyle P=P_{0}+\rho gh}$

where ${\displaystyle P_{0}}$ is the pressure at the top surface, ${\displaystyle h}$ is the depth, and ${\displaystyle \rho }$ is the mass density of the fluid. In many cases, only the difference between two pressures appears in the final answer to a question, and in such cases it is permissible to set the pressure at the top surface of the fluid equal to zero. In many applications, it is possible to artificially set ${\displaystyle P_{0}}$ equal to zero, for example at atmospheric pressure. The resulting pressure is called the gauge pressure, for ${\displaystyle P_{gauge}=\rho gh}$ below the surface of a body of water.

Call with {{Physeq1|transcludesection=PressureVersusDepth}}

#### Archimedes

Pascal's principle does not hold if two fluids are separated by a seal that prohibits fluid flow (as in the case of the piston of an internal combustion engine). Suppose the upper and lower fluids shown in the figure are not sealed, so that a fluid of mass density ${\displaystyle \rho _{flu}}$ comes to equilibrium above and below an object. Let the object have a mass density of ${\displaystyle \rho _{obj}}$ and a volume of ${\displaystyle A\Delta h}$, as shown in the figure. The net (bottom minus top) force on the object due to the fluid is called the buoyant force:

${\displaystyle {\rm {{buoyant}\;{\rm {{force}=(A\Delta h)(\rho _{flu})g\,}}}}}$,

and is directed upward. The volume in this formula, AΔh, is called the volume of the displaced fluid, since placing the volume into a fluid at that location requires the removal of that amount of fluid. Archimedes principle states:

A body wholly or partially submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

Note that if ${\displaystyle \rho _{obj}=\rho _{flu}}$, the buoyant force exactly cancels the force of gravity. A fluid element within a stationary fluid will remain stationary. But if the two densities are not equal, a third force (in addition to weight and the buoyant force) is required to hold the object at that depth. If an object is floating or partially submerged, the volume of the displaced fluid equals the volume of that portion of the object which is below the waterline.

## ---14 Heat and Heat Transfer

#### SpecificLatentHeat

• ${\displaystyle Q=mc_{S}\Delta T}$ is the heat required to change the temperature of a substance of mass, m. The change in temperature is ΔT. The specific heat, cS, depends on the substance (and to some extent, its temperature and other factors such as pressure). Heat is the transfer of energy, usually from a hotter object to a colder one. The units of specfic heat are energy/mass/degree, or J/(kg-degree).
• ${\displaystyle Q=mL}$ is the heat required to change the phase of a a mass, m, of a substance (with no change in temperature). The latent heat, L, depends not only on the substance, but on the nature of the phase change for any given substance. LF is called the latent heat of fusion, and refers to the melting or freezing of the substance. LV is called the latent heat of vaporization, and refers to evaporation or condensation of a substance.

#### PowerRateHeatTransfer

The rate of heat transfer is Q/t (or dQ/dt) and has units of "power": 1 Watt = 1 W = 1J/s

• ${\displaystyle {\frac {kA}{d}}\Delta T}$ is rate of heat transfer for a material of thermal conductivity, k, of area, A, and thickness, d. (In this model, the thickness is assumed uniform over the area, and no heat flows through the sides.) The thermal conductivity is a property of the substance used to insulate, or subdue, the flow of heat.

#### StefanBoltzmannLaw

• ${\displaystyle \sigma AeT^{4}}$ is the power radiated by a surface of area, A, at a temperature, T, measured on an absolute scale such as Kelvins. The emissivity, e, varies from 1 for a black body to 0 for a perfectly reflecting surface. The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is ${\displaystyle \sigma \approx 5.67\times 10^{-8}\,\mathrm {J\,s^{-1}m^{-2}K^{-4}} }$.

## ---15 Thermodynamics

#### StateVariables

• Pressure (P), Energy (E), Volume (V), and Temperature (T) are state variables (state functionscalled state functions). The number of particles (N) can also be viewed as a state variable.
• Work (W), Heat (Q) are not state variables.

#### EntropyMonatomic

• ${\displaystyle S(V,T)={\frac {3Nk_{B}}{2}}\ln T+Nk_{B}\ln V+constant}$, is the entropy of an ideal , monatomic gas. The constant is arbitrary only in classical (non-quantum) thermodynamics. Since it is a function of state variables, entropy is also a state function.

#### HeatEngine

A point on a PV diagram define's the system's pressure (P) and volume (V). Energy (E) and pressure (P) can be deduced from equations of state: E=E(V,P) and T=T(V,P). If the piston moves, or if heat is added or taken from the substance, energy (in the form of work and/or heat) is added or subtracted. If the path returns to its original point on the PV-diagram (e.g., 12341 along the rectantular path shown), and if the process is quasistatic, all state variables (P, V, E, T) return to their original values, and the final system is indistinguishable from its original state.

• Net work done equals area enclosed by the loop. This are is often written as a closed line integral:
• ${\displaystyle \oint P\ dV=}$ work done on or by the engine each cycle.
• ${\displaystyle Work=Q_{in}-Q_{out}}$: The net heat Qin that enters at each cycle equals the work done Wout.
• Remember: Area "under" is the work to get from one point to the other; Area "inside" is the total work per cycle.

#### IsothermalWork

In an isothermal expansion (contraction), temperature, T, is constant. Hence P=nRT/V and substitution yields,

• ${\displaystyle \int _{Vi}^{Vf}PdV=\int _{Vi}^{Vf}nRT{\frac {dV}{V}}=nRT\int _{Vi}^{Vf}{\frac {dV}{V}}=nRT\ln {\frac {V_{f}}{V_{i}}}}$

#### SecondLawThermo

• ${\displaystyle \Delta W=-F\Delta x=(-P\cdot \mathrm {Area} )\left({\frac {\Delta V}{\mathrm {Area} }}\right)=-P\Delta V}$ is the work done on a system of pressure P by a piston of voulume V. If ΔV>0 the substance is expanding as it exerts an outward force, so that ΔW<0 and the substance is doing work on the universe; ΔW>0 whenever the universe is doing work on the system.
• ${\displaystyle \Delta Q}$ is the amount of heat (energy) that flows into a system. It is positive if the system is placed in a heat bath of higher temperature. If this process is reversible, then the heat bath is at an infinitesimally higher temperature and a finite ΔQ takes an infinite amount of time.
• ${\displaystyle \Delta E=\Delta Q-P\Delta V}$ is the change in energy (First Law of Thermodynamics).

## ---16 Oscillatory Motion and Waves

#### algebraSHO

• ${\displaystyle x=X\cos {\frac {2\pi t}{T}}}$ describes oscillatory motion with period T. The amplitude, or maximum displacement is ${\displaystyle X}$. Alternative notation includes the use of ${\displaystyle x_{0}}$ instead of ${\displaystyle X}$). Using by ${\displaystyle \omega _{0}T=2\pi }$ allows us to write this in terms of angular frequency, ω0:
• ${\displaystyle x(t)=x_{0}\cos \left(\omega _{0}t-\varphi \right)}$ , where we have introduced a phase shift to permit both sine and cosine waves. For example, ${\displaystyle \cos \left(\omega _{0}t-\varphi \right)=\sin \omega _{0}t}$.
• ${\displaystyle \omega _{0}={\sqrt {\frac {k_{s}}{m}}}={\frac {2\pi }{T}}}$ holds for a mass-spring system with mass, m, and spring constant, ks.
• ${\displaystyle \omega _{0}={\sqrt {\frac {g}{L}}}={\frac {2\pi }{T}}}$ holds for a low amplitude pendulum of length, L, in a gravitational field, g.
• ${\displaystyle PE={\frac {1}{2}}k_{s}x^{2}}$ is the potential energy of a mass spring system. This equation can also be used for a pendulum if we replace the spring constant ${\displaystyle k_{s}}$ by an effective spring constant ${\displaystyle k_{eff}=mg/L}$.

#### SHO

• ${\displaystyle x(t)=x_{0}\cos \left(\omega _{0}t-\varphi \right)=X\cos \left(\omega _{0}t-\varphi \right)}$ describes an oscillating variable. The velocity and acceleration are:
• ${\displaystyle v(t)=dx/dt=-\omega _{0}x_{0}\sin \left(\omega _{0}t-\varphi \right)=v_{0}\cos \left(\omega _{0}t-\varphi \right)}$, where ${\displaystyle v_{0}=\omega _{0}x_{0}}$. The acceleration is given by:
• ${\displaystyle a(t)=dv/dt=-\omega _{0}x_{0}\cos \left(\omega _{0}t-\varphi \right)=a_{0}\cos \left(\omega _{0}t-\varphi \right)}$, where
• ${\displaystyle a_{0}=\omega _{0}v_{0}=\omega _{0}^{2}x_{0}}$. Note also that the maximum force obeys, ${\displaystyle F_{0}=ma_{0}}$, and that
• ${\displaystyle E={\frac {1}{2}}mv_{0}^{2}={\frac {1}{2}}k_{s}x_{0}^{2}}$ is the total energy (which also equals the maximum kinetic energy, as well as the maximum potential energy (with ks being the spring constant).
• x(t) obeys the linear homogeneous differential equation (ODE), ${\displaystyle {\frac {d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}}=-\omega _{0}^{2}x(t)}$, with ω being a (constant) parameter of the ODE.

#### FrequencyWavelengthSpeed

• ${\displaystyle f\lambda =v_{p}}$ relates the frequency, f, wavelength, λ,and the the phase speed, vp of the wave (also written as vw) This phase speed is the speed of individual crests, which for sound and light waves also equals the speed at which a wave packet travels.
• ${\displaystyle L={\frac {n\lambda _{n}}{2}}}$ describes the n-th normal mode vibrating wave on a string that is fixed at both ends (i.e. has a node at both ends). The mode number, n = 1, 2, 3,..., as shown in the figure.

A theoretical calculation is ${\displaystyle v_{s}={\sqrt {\frac {\gamma k_{B}T}{m}}}}$ where ${\displaystyle \gamma ={\frac {\varpi +2}{\varpi }}}$ for a semi-classical gas with ${\displaystyle \varpi }$ degrees of freedom.
