Translational equilibrium: F=ma=0 The center of gravity
does not move!
Rotational equilibrium:
=0
The object does not
rotate
Mechanical equilibrium: F=ma=0 & =0 No movement!

Tips for study
• Look through the lecture sheets and pick out the
summaries to get a good overview
• Make an overview for yourself (about 1 Letter
size paper)
• Read the chapters in the book to make sure that
your overview contains all the main issues.
• Study the examples given in the lectures
• Study the problems in LON-CAPA
• Study the worked-out examples in the book
• Practice the previous midterm exams.
• Practice problems from the book

Energy transfer
Rate of energy transfer
Energy associated with
position.
Gravitational PE: mgh
Energy associated with
position in grav. field.
PE stored in a spring: 1/2kx2 x is the compression of the spring
k is the spring constant
Kinetic energy KE: 1/2mv2 Energy associated with
motion
Conservative force:
Work done does not depend on path
Non-conservative force:
Work done does depend on path
Mechanical energy ME:
ME=KE+PE
 Conserved if only conservative forces are present
KEi+PEi=KEf+PEf
 Not conserved in the presence of non-conservative forces

example
m=1 kg
A pendulum is pushed with initial
velocity 0.1 m/s from a height of
1 cm. How far does it compress the
spring? (assume m does not rise
significantly after hitting the spring)
1 cm
k=100 N/m

Saving electricity
A ‘smart’ student decides to save energy by connecting his
exercise treadmill to his laptop battery. If it takes
70 J to move the belt on the treadmill by 1 meter and
50% of the generated energy is stored in the battery, how
‘far’ must the student run to use his 100 W laptop for free
for 2 hours?

Non-conservative vs conservative case
h
450
A block of 1 kg is pushed up a 45o
slope with an initial velocity of 10 m/s.
How high does the block go if:
a) there is no friction
b) if the coefficient of kinetic friction
is 0.5.

Momentum p=mv
F=p/t
Impulse (the change in momentum) p= Ft
Inelastic collisions
Elastic collisions
•Momentum is conserved
•Momentum is conserved
•Some energy is lost in the •No energy is lost in the
collision: KE not conserved collision: KE conserved
•Perfectly inelastic: the
objects stick
together.
Conservation
of momentum: Conservation of momentum:
m1v1i+m2v2i=(m1+m2)vf
m1v1i+m2v2i=m1v1f+m2v2f
Conservation of KE:
½m1v1i2+½m2v2i2=½m1v1f2+½m2v2f2
(v1i-v2i)=(v2f-v1f)

An excellent, but somewhat desperate sharp shooter tries
to stop a cannon ball aimed directly at him by shooting a bullet
from his gun against it. With what velocity does he need to
shoot the bullet to stop the cannon ball assuming that the
bullet gets stuck in the ball? How much energy is released?

Elastic collision
Two balls (m1=1 kg, m2=2 kg) are
released on a slope and collide in
the valley. How far does each go
back up?

Bouncing ball
A 0.5 kg ball is dropped to the floor from a height of 2 m.
If it bounces back to a height of 1.8 m, what is the
magnitude of its change in momentum?

Rotational motion
Angular motion
(t)= (0)+(0)t+½t2
(t)= (0)+t
Centripetal acceleration
ac=v2/r directed to the center of the circular motion
Also v=r, so ac=2r
Fto center=mac=mv2/r
This acceleration is caused by ‘known’ force
(gravitation, friction, tension…)
Make sure you understand how to use Kepler’s 3rd law
and the general definition of gravitational PE.

Whirling ball
A ball of mass 2 kg is
attached to a string of 1m
and whirled around a
smooth horizontal table.
If the tension in the string
exceeds 200 N, what will be
the speed at the moment
the string breaks?

Consider...
…a child playing on a swing. As she reaches the lowest
point in her swing, which of the following is true?
A) The tension in the robe is equal to her weight
B) The tension in the robe is equal to her mass times
her acceleration
C) Her acceleration is downward and equal to g (9.8 m/s2)
D) Her acceleration is zero
E) Her acceleration is equal to her velocity squared divided
by the length of the swing.

Two objects...
Are rotating. One starts with an initial linear velocity
of 1 m/s and rotates with a radius of 2 m. The other starts
from rest and undergoes a constant angular acceleration over
a circle with radius 3 m.
What should its angular acceleration be, so that it overtakes
(for the first time) the first object after 10 revolutions?

object be so that does not sink or rise?
