Physics Notes

The document outlines the fundamentals of mechanics, including the laws of motion as defined by Isaac Newton, which describe the relationship between force, matter, and motion. It categorizes mechanics into rigid mechanics, deformable bodies, and fluids, and emphasizes the importance of units in measuring physical quantities. Additionally, it discusses vectors and scalars, highlighting their definitions and properties in relation to force and motion.

Mechanics: -​ 1st condition of equilibrium

-​ rest = rest, y = 0, y is constant


-​ branch of Physics that deals with the -​ forces is included
relationship between force, matter, and
motion 2nd Law: A particle will have an acceleration
-​ science that describes and depicts the proportional to a nonzero resultant applied
conditions of rest or motion of bodies force.
under the action of forces.
-​ F = ma
Classical Mechanics (Acc. to Isaac Newton) -
predicts qualitatively and quantitatively the 3rd Law: Forces of action and reaction between
results of experiments for objects that are not, two particles have the same magnitude and line
of action with opposite sense.
●​ too small: atoms and subatomic particles
- quantum mechanics -​ FA = - Fb
●​ too fast: objects close to the speed of
light- special relativity Fundamental Principles
Newton’s Law of Gravitation - Two particles are
attracted with equal and opposite forces
Categories of Mechanics:

-​ Rigid Mechanics (Intact) - there is no


deformation
●​ 1st Law (Statics) - knowing if the
behaviors of the objects are at rest
●​ 2nd Law (Dynamics) - If the object is at
rest, and you applied force, it moves.
-​ Deformable Bodies - there’s a change
-​ Fluids - either liquid or gas (all matters
that can flow)

Fundamental Principles Principle of Transmissibility

1st Law: If the resultant force on a particle is SYSTEM OF UNITS: mass, length, and time.
zero, the particle will remain at rest or continue Additional quantity and force is derived.
to move in a straight l i n e .
-​ (Rules for ordinary arithmetic are used
to manipulate scalar quantities.)

Parallelogram Law: Parallel - Concurrent Force

●​ SI Units MKS; Gaussian System CGS;


U.S. Customary Units FPS

Role of Units

Facts !
Circular: Rotational - Object moves itself
Stress = Force

Commutative Law of Addition: When two


vectors are added, the sum is independent of the
order of addition.

Associative Law of Addition: When adding 3 or


more vectors, the sum is independent of the way
in which the individual vectors are grouped

Vectors
Example:

-​ parameters possessing magnitude and


direction which ad according to the
parallelogram law. ex. displacements,
velocities, and acceleration.
-​ when written, use an arrow.

Scalar

-​ parameters possessing magnitude but


not direction. ex. mass, volume,
temperature
