Kinematics and Dynamics Equations Flashcards
Component Vectors
X= Vcos(theta)
Y= Vsin(theta)
Pythagorean Theorem
X^2 + Y^2= V^2
Determining Direction from Component Vectors
Theta= tan^-1 Y/X
Dot Product
A (dot) B= |A| |B| cos(theta)
Cross Product
A x B = |A| |B| sin(theta)
Instantaneous Velocity
V = lim change(X)/change(t)
lim represents change(t) -> 0
Average Velocity
V= change(X)/change(t)
Universal Gravitation Equation
Fg= Gm1Gm2/r^2
Static Friction
0 <or= fs <or= musN
Kinetic Friction
fk= mukN
Force of Gravity on Earth
Fg= mg
Center of Mass for all variables
X= m1,x1 + m2,x2 + m3,x3/m1 + m2 + m3
Average Acceleration
a= change(V)/change(t)
Instantaneous Acceleration
a= lim change(V)/change(t)
Newton’s First Law
Fnet= ma= 0
Newton’s Second Law
Fnet= ma
Newton’s Third Law
FAB= -FBA
Kinematics, no displacement
v= v0 + at
Kinematics, no final velocity
v= v0t + at^2/2
Kinematics, no time
v^2= v0^2 + 2ax
Kinematics, no acceleration
x= (average)v times t
Components of Gravity on an Inclined Plane
Fg(parallel)= mgsin(theta)
Fg(perpendicular)= mgcos(theta)
Centripetal Force
Fc= mv^2/r
Torque
torque- (r) x (F)= rFsin(theta)
