Q

What is the centre of mass of an object? (2)

What else is special about centre of mass

A

The point where it can be thought that all the weight of the object acts through, concentrated, vertically down

The point at which if an external force is applied through the centre of mass, the object will move with no rotation simply translational movement , straight line motion

Q

How to find the centre of mass using a plump line?

First explain THEORY

A

An object suspended freely will have its centre of mass directly below its suspension vertically

1) thus add holes to ends of an object corner
2) suspend the object using a clamp and clamp stand
3) attachach a plumb line and a plumb bib
4) use plumb line to draw a line which the centre of gravity will be on
5) rotate and do again
6) the centre of mass will be the point at which ALL LINES OF SYMMETERY CRISS

Q

How to find com in space?

A

Push an object until it only moves with straight line motion and no rotation, and imagine a line through it

Now move object and do from another angle

The com will be where these lines intersect

If you want to try and trial and error using ruler, balance card on ruler until it is balanced and imagine line here, rotate do again, com will be where thesenlijesninrersecn

Q

What is any drag force?

Two most important fsctord in calsucktimgdrag

A

Drag is any force that opposes the ,Orion of an object in fluid

1) as drag is proportional to v2, the speed
2) drag is dependent on cross sectional area, sknthisn

Q

Explain what happens when you drop an object and drag acts on it

Basically explain the journey ti terminak vekociyt

What about PARACHUTE?

A

At t= 0, by dropping the object no drag acts on it , thus accerlation = resultant force which is just its weight (/m)

As it picks up speed, it dies drag at exponential rate. As a result resultant force decreases, so acceleration decreases too

Eventually the drag has increases so much such that it is = to its own weight. At this point resultant force has decreased all the way to 0, so there IS NO MORE ACCELERATION . As a result, it now goes at a constant speed = THE TERMINAK VEKOCITY

2) if parachute open, then drag > weight, thus resultant force means deceleration . This decreases speed which decreases drag until drag = weight again, and you are terminak velocity but a lower one now!

Q

Explain how something that has MORE MASS but the same SA as anither object (and thus drag) has a higher terminak velocity then?

A

Not the sarai fraud

Essentially if it has more mass then more weight, and for it to revsh terminak velocity a greater amount if drag must be acting upon it, and for the same SA it means to reach a higher drag it needs to have a higher velocity too, as v 2is proportional to drag . As a result to reach terminak velocity the velocity of the heavier jbject is higher!

Q

Last time when can drag be ignored

A

1) if several orders of magnitude less, then ignore = negligible

2) however if mass very small compared to SA
Or at very fast speed
Then Cant

Q

What is the MOMENT OF A FORCE

A

the moment if a force is the force (acting through the axis) multiplied by the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the force to the axis

18
Q

What is the principle of moments

What does it mean to be in equilibrium

A

For a body in ROTATIONAL EQUILIBRIUM, the sum of clockwise moments = the sum of anti-clockwise moments

Equilibrium is where there is no net moment ABOUT ANY POINT and also no net force acting on ANY PLANE . Thus means itsin rotational equilibrium (won’t move anywhere = basically just equilibrium )

19
Q

Remmeber little things about moments questions

A

There will normally be a weight of the beam at the centre of mass, I guess assume uniform mass distribution so half way point

  • if you have two unknowns, then take moments from one point, as the moment if this will now be 0 due to no perpendicular distance. Then find the other one

Remember if itnis in rotational equilibrium sum of anticlockwise moments = sum of clockwise moments, but also no net force about any plane, can help you make more equations

Finally the support force acts on any point that touches something, the NORMA! So this includes the PIVOT, or like a SURFACE

20
Q

How do you make an object ROTATE WITHIUT ANY TRANSLATIONAL KOVEMENT?

A

You apply a pair of equal but opposite forces along the objects , which are parallel and along different lines

This means net force is STILL 0 so no translational movement, however net moment isn’t 0, so there is rotational movement

This is known as a couple

And the moment if a couple is known as torque

21
Q

What is the torque of a couple then

A

It is again a PAIR OF EQUAL BUT OPPSITE FIRCES APPLIED IN THE SAME PLANE but oppsiiding directions that are parallel

Calculated by force x Perpednciular distance between separation

Again they give rise to resultant moment but no resultant force, hence only rotational movmentn

22
Q

What is moment of couple about any point however?

A

THE EXACT same , terms cancel, = force x perpendicular distance between speartook

23
Q

What does doplanar mean,

A

You know how there is different planes , the. All are on one plane but in different directions

24
Q

What important abotu triangle of foces

A

That they are HEAD TO TOE
- AND RESULTANT IS JUST 0!,
Remember relative size of the length of the arrow supposed to represent the size of the force

25
Q

How can you resolve multiple vectors knowing resultant is 0 without even using triangle if foces

A

Just split into planes, horizontal and vertical planes resolved soearye,y and this way you know

26
Q

What else about any three coplanar forces resultant?

I PORTSMT

A

Can never be greater than the addition of all three or less than thr subtraction if all three!!!!

27
Q

How to measure density

A

Mass high a weighing scale
Volume using now either change in volume of a measuring cylinder or a eureka can which measured the volume of water displaced

28
Q

What is pressure, importsnt

A

Pressure = NORMAL FORCE/ AREA

this is because all normal forces are added up to give a whole valuen

29
Q

How to calculate density if mixtures?

What assumption ti make A

As this would change perhaps mass/ volumes

A

Here you do find spearates mass and volumes and do one claultion

You must assume that there is no chemical reaction and rearrangement if atoms when these two mixtures are our totgehe

30
Q

Pressure in water =?

Does container shape affect pressure?
What is it

A

DENSITY x Gravity x Height

No the only variable that affects pressure is height , where gravity and density is constant

31
Q

What is Archimedes principle

A

The uothrust acting on an object is = to the weight of fluid displaced

Why?
As upthrust = d x g x h x a

Uothrust = mg of fluid

So uppthusy = weight if fluid displaced

32
Q

What does pressure equation show

A

It not dependent in cross sectional area nothing , just height

This pressure proportional to height

33
Q

Hat is change of pressure in a fluid

A

Just the change of height times density and gravity

34
Q

How to do total pressure

A

Total pressure = ATMOSPHERIC + SEA PRESSURE

35
Q

What even is upthrust

A

Upthrust is a force , kinda like reaction force caused by the change in pressure resulting ijaforce as an ibjectmoves down

Essentially it is the same as the change in oressure x A

And we know change in oressure = change in height x g x density
So uothrust = a x change in height x g x density

Which is equal to the WEIGHT OF DLUID DISPLACED

36
Q

Again uothrust is

A

Is caused by the pressure differences resulting in a dowanrds force from the top and the bottom surface of a container

This resolutes innuothust

37
Q

Hat determines if object floats or sinks?

A

An object will only float if it can displace enough fluid to = its own weight, so uothrust = weight and resultant force is 0

It may have to only displace a bit if fludinto do this thus it sinks a bit

However if fully submerged it still can’t (due to density if liquid) then it will sink !

38
Q

Remmeber what to know about displacement

A

The volume of water displaced is always = to the volume of the object in water

However the weight if the object displaced is only equal to the weight of upthrust and if itnis floating then the weight ofnthe object too!

39
Q

How to find out how much an kbkecr will be underwater to float?

A

Just divide the little density by the big density to get fraction

40
Q

Show how the fraction of something underwater is = d1/d2

A

Weight of ibject to float= weight of fluid dispersed
Weight = mg , d= m/v, m=D1V1
D1V1g= weight fluid dispersed
Mg = d=m/v, m= d x v, here the d= d2, and v is the fraction of object under x total volume = FXv1

Rearrange and you get f= d1/d2!!

41
Q

In all density equation what to remember r

A

Weights of uothust = weight fluid disperced

If float then weight of ibject = uothrust p
Vilume of the objects is constant and fluid dispersed!
