Exam 2: mass/force-forces dependent on other variables Flashcards
(37 cards)
Kinetics
combines kinematics with causes of motions
what 2 quantities does kinematics require?
- mass
- force
mass
a measure of objects resistance to acceleration
- how hard it is to accelerate an object
large objects have _____ acceleration; small objects have ______ acceleration
small; big
SI units of mass
kg
mass is a ________ _______ not ______
positive number; directional
when you multiply mass by a vector what happens to direction?
it is unchanged
force
a vector that measures intensity and direction of pushing or pulling on an object
SI units of force
kg(m)/time^2 - Newtons (N)
2 ways that forces occur
- weight
- contact with another object
weight definition
force applied to an object by gravity
- not equal to mass
- mass in mg (9.8 m/s^2) down always
3 main force types
- weight
- pushing
- pulling (cables)
what do FBDs consist of?
object(s) + forces only
pushing
perpendicular direction to surface of contact toward chosen body
T/F when two bodies push on one another they have the same pushing force?
True
pulling (cables)
parallel to the cable and away from the body
T/F when two bodies are connected by the cable, tension is not the same
False, tension is the same on each body
Newtowns 2nd law eq
F(vector) net = m(a vector)
Newtons second law definition
sum of forces acting on an object equals the mass of the object times the acceleration of the object
what do you use when forces are not parallel or perpendicular along a line of motion?
use a right triangle to find the component of force along the line of motion
what does it mean if force is <90 degrees from the positive direction?
the force component is +
what does it mean if force is >90 degrees from the positive direction?
the force component is -
3 cases of forces dependent on other variables
- time dependent forces
- spring (position dependent)
- medical application: muscle models using the Stanford model
forces as functions of time should use _____ in _____ if taking derivatives/integrals of ______ functions
angles; radians; trigonometric
