Scientific Measurements
Measurements are a hallmark of good science.
"I often say that when you can measure
something and express it in numbers, you know
something about it. When you cannot measure
it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your
knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory
kind. It may be the beginning of knowledge, but
you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to
the stage of science, whatever it may be."

Scientific Methods
There is no one scientific method.
In general, scientific methods refer to principles
and procedures for the systematic pursuit of
knowledge involving the recognition and
formulation of a problem, the collection of data
through observation and experiment, and the
formulation and testing of hypotheses.
Explanation:
All are scientific hypotheses!
All have tests for proving wrongness, so they pass the test of being a
scientific hypothesis.

Explanation:
Choices A and C can be disproved by experiments.
Choice B has no test for wrongness, so it is not a scientific

Nellie Newton hangs from a rope
as shown.
Which side has the greater tension?
There are three forces acting on
Nellie:
her weight, mg,
a tension in the left-hand side of
the rope,
and a tension in the right-hand
side of the rope.
Vectors
Because of the different angles, different rope tensions will occur in
each side.
Nellie hangs in equilibrium, so her weight is supported by two rope
tensions, adding vectorially to be equal and opposite to her weight.
The parallelogram rule shows that the tension in the right-hand is
greater than the tension in the left-hand side of the rope.
The red arrows represent force vectors. The sum of the two upward
force vectors minus the sum of the three bottom force vectors,

Motion Is Relative
Motion of objects is always described as relative
to something else. For example:

Acceleration = net force / mass
Because, mass is in the denominator, acceleration increases as mass
decreases. So, if mass is halved, acceleration doubles.

a property of moving things
means inertia in motion
more specifically, mass of an object multiplied by
its velocity
in equation form:
Momentum = mass x velocity

Product of force and time (force x time)
In equation form: Impulse = Ft
Example:
A brief force applied over a short time interval
produces a smaller change in momentum than the
same force applied over a longer time interval.

Explanation:
The average force on the cannonball will be the same for a short- or
long-barreled cannon. The longer barrel provides for a longer time for
the force to act, and therefore, a greater impulse. (The long barrel also
provides a longer distance for the force to act, providing greater work
and greater kinetic energy to the cannonball.)
2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
Explanation:
The momentum becomes zero in both cases, so both change by the
same amount. Although the momentum change and impulse are the
same, the force is less when the time of momentum change is extended.
Be careful to distinguish among force, impulse, and momentum.
2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
Bouncing
Impulses are generally greater when objects
bounce.
Example:
Catching a falling flower pot from a shelf with your
hands. You provide the impulse to reduce its
momentum to zero. If you throw the flower pot up
again, you provide an additional impulse. This
"double impulse" occurs when something bounces.
Bouncing
Pelton wheel designed to "bounce" water when it
makes a U-turn on impact with the curved paddle
Conservation of Momentum
Law of conservation of momentum:
In the absence of an external force, the
momentum of a system remains unchanged.
Conservation of Momentum
Examples:
When a cannon is fired, the force on the cannonball
inside the cannon barrel is equal and opposite to the
force of the cannonball on the cannon.
The cannonball gains momentum, while the cannon
gains an equal amount of momentum in the opposite
directionthe cannon recoils.
When no external force is present, no external impulse is
present, and no change in momentum is possible.
Conservation of Momentum
Examples (continued):
Internal molecular forces within a baseball
come in pairs, cancel one another out, and
have no effect on the momentum of the ball.
Molecular forces within a baseball have no
effect on its momentum.
Pushing against a car's dashboard has no
effect on its momentum.
Collisions
For all collisions in the absence of external
forces,
net momentum before collision equals net
momentum after collision.
in equation form:
(net mv)before = (net mv)after
Collisions
Elastic collision
occurs when colliding objects rebound
without lasting deformation or any generation
of heat.
Collisions
Inelastic collision
occurs when colliding objects result in
deformation and/or the generation of heat.

Circular Motion
When an object turns about an internal axis, it is
undergoing circular motion or rotation.
Circular Motion is characterized by two kinds of
speeds:
tangential (or linear) speed.
rotational (or circular) speed.
1 cm/s
2 cm/s
4 cm/s
8 cm/s
1 cm/s
2 cm/s
4 cm/s
8 cm/s
Explanation:
Tangential speed = r
Rotational speed of both bugs is the same, so if radial
distance doubles, tangential speed also doubles.
So, tangential speed is 2 cm/s x 2 = 4 cm/s.
Rotational Inertia
An object rotating about an axis tends to remain
rotating about the same axis at the same
rotational speed unless interfered with by some
external influence.
The property of an object to resist changes in its
rotational state of motion is called rotational
inertia (symbol I).
Rotational Inertia
Depends upon
mass of object.
distribution of mass
around axis of rotation.
The greater the distance
between an object's
mass concentration and
the axis, the greater the
rotational inertia.
Rotational Inertia
The greater the rotational inertia, the harder it is to
change its rotational state.
A tightrope walker carries a long pole that has a high
rotational inertia, so it does not easily rotate.
Keeps the tightrope walker stable.
Rotational Inertia
Depends upon the axis
around which it rotates

through it.
Harder to rotate it around

Torque
The tendency of a force to cause rotation is
called torque.
Torque depends upon three factors:
Magnitude of the force
The direction in which it acts
The point at which it is applied on the object
Torque
The equation for Torque is
Torque = lever arm x force
TorqueExample

Torque = new lever arm x force
750 Nm = new lever arm x 250N
New lever arm = 750 Nm / 250 N = 2.5 m
Center of GravityStability
The location of the center of
gravity is important for stability.
If we draw a line straight
down from the center of
gravity and it falls inside the
base of the object, it is in
stable equilibrium; it will
balance.
If it falls outside the base, it is
unstable.
2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
Centripetal Force
Any force directed toward a fixed center is called a
centripetal force.
Centripetal means "center-seeking" or "toward the
center."
Example: To whirl a tin can
at the end of a string, you
pull the string toward the
center and exert a centripetal
force to keep the can moving
in a circle.
Centripetal Force

When a car rounds a curve, the

Centrifugal Force
Although centripetal force is center directed, an
occupant inside a rotating system seems to
experience an outward force. This apparent
outward force is called centrifugal force.
Centrifugal means "center-fleeing" or "away from
the center."
Centrifugal Force
A Common Misconception
It is a common misconception
that a centrifugal force pulls
outward on an object.
Example:
If the string breaks, the
object doesn't move radially
outward.
It continues along its tangent
straight-line pathbecause
no force acts on it. (Newton's
first law)
2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
Simulated Gravity
Centrifugal force can be used to simulate gravity in space
stations of the future.
By spinning the space station, occupants would
experience a centrifugal force (simulated gravity) similar to
the bug in the can.
Simulated Gravity
To simulate an acceleration
due to gravity, g, which is
10 m/s2, a space station
must
have a radius of about 1 km
(i.e. diameter of 2 km).
rotate at a speed of about
1 revolution per minute.
Angular Momentum
The "inertia of rotation" of rotating objects is called
angular momentum.
This is analogous to "inertia of motion", which was
momentum.
Angular momentum
= rotational inertia x angular velocity
This is analogous to
Linear momentum = mass x velocity
Angular Momentum
For an object that is small compared with the radial
distance to its axis, magnitude of
Angular momentum = mass tangential speed x radius
Angular Momentum
An external net torque is required to change the
angular momentum of an object.

An object or system of objects will

Explanation:
Angular momentum = rotational inertia x angular
velocity
Angular momentum is proportional to "rotational
inertia."
If you halve the rotational inertia, to keep the
angular momentum constant, the angular
velocity would double.

Ocean Tides
The differences between ocean levels at
different times of the day are called tides.
Ocean Tides
Ocean tides are caused due to the gravitational
attraction of the Moon.
Unequal tugs on Earth's oceans causes a stretching
effect that produces a pair of ocean bulges.
Because the two bulges are on opposite sides, high
tides occur every 12 hours.
Ocean Tides
During the new Moon or full
Moon, the effects of Moon
and Sun add up, causing
most pronounced spring
tides.
When the Moon is halfway
between a new and full
Moon, the tides due to Sun
and Moon partly cancel
each other, causing least
pronounced neap tides.

Gravitational Fields
Interaction between Earth and Moon is action at a
distance. How do they interact without touching?
One way to think of this:
Earth is surrounded by a gravitational field.
Moon interacts with this gravitational field.
Gravitational field is an alteration of space
around Earth (or any object with mass).
Gravitational field is an example of a force
field (another example: magnetic field).
2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
Gravitational Fields
Fields are represented by
field lines radiating into the
object (Earth).
The inward direction of arrows
indicates that the force is
always attractive to Earth.
The crowding of arrows closer
to Earth indicates that the
magnitude of the force is
larger closer to Earth.

Gravitational Fields
Inside a planet, it decreases
to zero at the center
because pull from the
mass of Earth below you
is partly balanced by
what is above you.
Outside a planet, it
decreases to zero (not at
the same rate as inside), at
infinity
because you are farther
away from planet.
2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
Gravitational Fields
Suppose you dig a hole through
Earth to the other side and jump
through it.
As you fall, your acceleration
toward the center will go on
decreasing.
At the center, your acceleration
will be zero.
Past the center you will be pulled
back up, but because you have
acquired sufficient speed you will
get to the other side.

Black Holes
When a star shrinks, all of
its mass is now
concentrated in a smaller
radius.
So gravitational force on
the surface increases

Black Holes
Black Hole: When the
star becomes so small
and the gravitational
force at the surface
becomes so large that
even light cannot
escape the surface,
anything in its vicinity
will be attracted by
warped space-time
and lost forever.

Explanation:
Letting the equation for gravity guide our thinking, we see that no mass

Escape Speed
Projectile Motion
Without gravity, a tossed object follows a
straight-line path.
With gravity, the same object tossed at an angle
follows a curved path.
Projectile:
Any object that moves through the air or
space under the influence of gravity,
continuing in motion by its own inertia
Projectile Motion
Projectile motion is a combination of
a horizontal component, and
a vertical component.
Projectile Motion
Projectiles launched horizontally
Important points:
Horizontal component of velocity doesn't change
(when air drag is negligible).
Ball travels the same horizontal
distance in equal times
(no component of gravitational
force acting horizontally).
Remains constant.
2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
Projectile Motion
Vertical positions become farther apart with time.
Gravity acts downward, so ball accelerates
downward.
Curvature of path is the combination of
horizontal and vertical components of motion.
Projectile Motion
Parabola:
Curved path of a projectile that undergoes
acceleration only in the vertical direction,
while moving horizontally at a constant speed
Projectile Motion
Projectiles launched at an angle:
Paths of stone thrown at an angle upward
and downward
Vertical and horizontal
components are
independent of each
other.
Projectile Motion
Paths of a cannonball shot at an upward angle
Vertical distance that a stone falls is the same
vertical distance it would have fallen if it had
been dropped from rest and been falling for
the same amount of time (5t2).
Projectile Motion
Paths of projectile following a parabolic
trajectory
Horizontal component along
trajectory remains
unchanged.
Only vertical component
changes.
Velocity at any point is
computed with the
Pythagorean theorem
(diagonal of rectangle).

Projectile Motion
Different horizontal distances
Same range is obtained from two different
launching angles when the angles add up to 90

speed of rocket
Payload is given a final thrust to orbital speed of 8 km/s to fall
around Earth and become an Earth satellite.
Elliptical Orbits
A projectile just above the atmosphere will follow
an elliptical path if given a horizontal speed
greater than 8 km/s.

Example: A circle is a special
case of an ellipse when its two
foci coincide.
Elliptical Orbits
Elliptical orbit
Speed of satellite varies.
Initially, if speed is greater than needed for circular
orbit, satellite overshoots a circular path and moves
away from Earth.
Satellite loses speed and then regains it as it falls
back toward Earth.
It rejoins its original path
with the same speed it
had initially.
Procedure is repeated.
