Uniform Circular Motion

(1)Velocity is continiously changing as the direction of velocity is changing. The Speed of the mass remains constant (speed = |velocity|)
2. The centripetal force is keeping the mass in its path and is given by, F = mv^2/R
3. If a mass m tied to the end of a string is whirled in a vertical circle, the tension in the string wiil be max at the bottom and minimum at the top

T = centripetal force - mg (min)

4. Tangential acceleration is zero in ...

  • Motion of a test particle in the non-null electromagnetic field

    12117 Motion of a test particle in the non-null electromagnetic field General Theory of Relativity. Description of motion of a test particle in the non-null electromagnetic field. See attached file for full problem description.

  • Lagrangian equations

    It shows how to find the Lagrangian equations of the motion of a particle, which moves in a plane under the influence of a force. It also discusses if the angular momentum and total energy are conserved or not.

  • Possibility of Perpetual Motion Machine

    This heat is a direct result of the second law of thermodynamics. In other words, you cannot convert energy into work with 100% efficiency. It is not possible. Some of the energy gets lost as heat, and that heat dissipates into the universes.

  • Gravitation of a Satellite

    Since air drag does negative work (the force of air drag is directed opposite the motion), the mechanical energy will decrease.

  • Conservation of energy: motion on vertical circle with force

    Here the force component in tangential direction is parallel to direction of motion and hence angle q between the small displacement ds and the force component is zero.

  • Energy - Speed

    First we set the potential energy at point B (57m down the slope) to zero. At point A we have potential energy and kinetic energy: At point B we have only kinetic energy: During the motion the friction force did work.

  • Harmonic function and vibrational energy states

    Then we will get mixed terms of x, y and z, which will make the error of truncation larger. Even diatomic molecules can deviate from the harmonic description if they are found at higher energy states far away from the ground state.

  • Simple Physics

    Conservation of energy states that the final energy is the initial energy plus any work done on the system. Thus: Note that d is the distance the car passed. Therefore and we regain the expression in the previous method.

  • Work done by person

    Kinetic energy is a function of the speed (V) and mass (M): Ek = 1/2 * M * V^2 Since the speed (as well as the mass) is constant throughout the motion, the initial kinetic energy equals the final kinetic energy.
