Prepare for your Physics exam with this comprehensive review covering key concepts in kinematics and dynamics. Understand definitions of instantaneous velocity and acceleration, and interpret graphs of position and velocity. Review important formulas for constant acceleration and examine vector addition. Dive into forces, free body diagrams, Newton's laws, and the concepts of work, momentum, and impulse. Learn about rigid bodies, pressure in liquids and gases, and thermodynamics. Attend the review session on December 10th for additional practice to ace your exam!
E N D
Kinematics -1D • Know: definitions/meaning instantaneous velocity and acceleration • Graphical interpretation: slope of x,t and v,t curves • Area under v,t curve x etc • Constant accel formulae: v=u+at, s=ut+1/2at2 etc
Kinematics – 2D • Velocity tangent to path • Accel – 2 components – radial v2/r (centripetal) and tangential – rate of change of speed • Know about adding/subtracting vectors graphically
Forces • Free body diagrams, labelling - FAB • Types: normal N, tension T (massless string), friction F< m N, weight W • Newton’s laws • Fnet=ma, F12=-F21 • Internal/external forces
Work, momentum etc • F.Dx constant F – scalar product of vectors • W-KE theorem: net work done on body equals change in K=1/2mv2 • Impulse I=FDt net impulse on body gives change in momentum p=mv • Conservation of momentum (collisions)
Rigid Bodies • Center of mass CM, equilibrium: Fnet=0, tnet=0 (torque) • For object on pivot – equivalent to positioning CM at pivot – eg beam problems • Angular velocity and acceleration
Pressure liquids and gases • P=rgh – yields force F=PA through any surface at depth h • Atmospheric pressure • Ideal gases: PV=nRT – n number of moles N/NA • Microscopic interpretation
Thermal Physics • Gases in cylinders: work done on gas –W=-PDV • Heat flow into gas Q • First law of thermodynamics • DU=Q+W • U is internal energy (proportional to T for ideal gases) • PV diagrams, cycles
Final • Friday 13 Dec 10:15am -12:15pm here • Comprehensive. (NOT Oscillations, Newtonian gravity, relativity). One sheet of formulae allowed • Practice exams + solns online • Review session – Tuesday 10 Dec 11:30-12:50 Stolkin (seating posted)
