Revision Notes Back to list of Contents Momentum Momentum is mass x velocity. Momentum is a vecto quantity. The SI unit of momentum is kg m s 1. Newton's second law defines foce as the ate of change of momentum ( mv) F =. t If the mass is constant this can be expessed as 'foce = mass acceleation' because acceleation is ate of change of velocity. The change of momentum of an object acted on by a foce is: ( mv) = F t. The poduct F t is called the impulse of the foce. The thust on a ocket of the jet of gases that it ejects is equal to the ate at which the jet caies away momentum. This is given by the mass ejected pe second x the velocity of the jet. When two objects inteact, fo example in a collision, one object loses an amount of momentum and the othe object gains an equal amount. The total momentum of the two objects is the same afte the inteaction as befoe. This is the pinciple of consevation of momentum. Since the time of inteaction t is the same fo both objects, the foces acting on the objects ae equal and opposite. This is Newton s Thid Law. It is a consequence of the consevation of momentum. Newton's laws of motion Newton's fist law of motion states that an object emains at est o moves with constant velocity unless acted on by a esultant foce. Newton's fist law defines what a foce is, namely any physical effect that is capable of changing the motion of an object. If an object is at est o in unifom motion, eithe no foce acts on it o foces do act on it and the esultant foce is zeo. Newton's second law of motion states that the ate of change of momentum of an object is equal to the esultant foce on the object. That is, F = dp / dt, whee p = mv is the momentum of an object acted on by a esultant foce F. Fo an object of constant mass m, acted on by a foce F dv F = m = ma dt Advancing Physics A 4
The SI unit of foce is the newton (N). 1 N is the foce that gives a 1 kg mass an acceleation of 1 m s. Newton's thid law of motion states that when two objects inteact, thee is an equal and opposite foce on each. Gavitational field The stength g of a gavitational field at a point is the gavitational foce pe unit mass acting on a small mass at that point. Gavitational field stength is a vecto quantity in the diection of the gavitational foce. The SI unit of gavitational field stength is N kg -1 o equivalently m s -. The foce F on a point mass m at a point in a gavitational field is given by F = m g, whee g is the gavitational field stength at that point. Close to the suface of the Eath, the gavitational field is almost unifom. The lines of foce ae paallel and at ight angles to the Eath's suface. A unifom gavitational field unifom field ove distance << adius R spheical planet of adius R adial field On a lage scale, the gavitational field is adial. Newton's law of gavitation states that the foce of gavitational attaction F of a mass M on anothe mass m obeys an invese squae law: GMm F = whee is the distance fom the cente of M to m and the minus sign indicates that the foce acts towads the mass M. The measued value of the Univesal Gavitational Constant G is 6.67 10 11 N m kg -. The gavitational field stength g = F / m = G M / at distance fom the cente of the mass M. Advancing Physics A 5

This is the wok done pe unit mass to move a small object fom infinity to that point. The gavitational potential enegy E P of a point mass m is given by E P = m V G, whee V G is the gavitational potential at that point. The SI unit of gavitational potential is J kg 1. Gavitational potential is a scala quantity. An equipotential is a suface of constant potential. No change of potential enegy occus when an object is moved along an equipotential. The lines of foce ae theefoe always pependicula to the equipotential sufaces. The gavitational field stength at a point in a gavitational field is the negative of the potential gadient at that point. In symbols g = dv G / dx. In an invese squae gavitational field, the field stength is: GM g =. and the gavitational potential is: GM V G = Advancing Physics A 6

Its velocity is not constant because its diection of motion is not constant. The esultant foce is diected towads the cente of the cicle. It is called the centipetal foce. Fo an object moving at constant speed v along a cicula path of adius, the acceleation towads the cente is: v a = and the centipetal foce F acting on it is: mv F = ma = whee m is the mass of the object. The centipetal foce does no wok on the moving mass because the foce is always at ight angles to the diection of motion. The enegy of the motion is theefoe constant. The time T taken to move once ound the cicula path is T = π / v Fo a poof that v a = see Summay diagams: Centipetal acceleation Advancing Physics A 7
