Core Concepts

* **Types of Motion**

* **Circular Motion**: Motion of an object in a circular path.

* **Rotational Motion**: Motion of an object around an internal axis.

* **Linear Motion**: Motion of an object in a straight line.

* **Linear Variables**: Displacement (s), Velocity (v), Acceleration (a)

* **Angular Motion**

* **Definitions**:

* **Angular Displacement (θ)**: The change in angular position (measured in radians).

* **Angular Velocity (ω)**: The rate of change of angular displacement (measured in radians per second).

* **Angular Acceleration (α)**: The rate of change of angular velocity (measured in radians per second squared).

* **Centripetal Force**

* **Definition**: The force required for an object to move in a circular path. It acts towards the center.

* **Formula**: F_cp = mv²/r or F_cp= mrω²

* **Centrifugal Force**

* **Definition**: The force that pushes the object outwards of the center.

* **Concept**: It does not allow the object to complete circular motion.

* **Direction**: Outwards, away from the center.

Applications and Derivations

* **Motion of Vehicles on a Horizontal Curve**

* **Objective**: To determine the maximum safe velocity for a vehicle on a curved road.

* **Forces Involved**:

* Gravitational force(mg)

* Frictional force

* **Derivation steps**:

1. Centripetal force = Frictional force.

2. mv²/r = μs mg

3. v = √(µrg)

* **Rolling Motion**:

* **Total Energy**: Total Energy = Translational Energy + Rotational Energy

* E = 1/2 mv² (1 + k²/r²)

* **Moment of Inertia**

* **Definition**: Moment of inertia is mass in angle

* **Formula** : I = Σmr²

* **Parallel Axis Theorem**

* **Statement**: The moment of inertia of a body about any axis is equal to the moment of inertia about a parallel axis through the center of mass plus the product of the mass of the body and the square of the distance between the two axes.

* **Formula**: I = I_c + Mh²

* **Angular Momentum in terms of Moment of Inertia**

* **Definition**:

* **Formula**: L = Iω

* **Well of Death**

* **Concept**: The concept revolves around the same, the application of concepts is the major point.

* **Formula**: V = √(rg/µs)
