Center of Mass
|
Xcm = m1x1+m2x2+m3x3/m1+m2+m3
x=0 - reference point |
|
Center of Gravity
|
point at which total gravitational force can be considered to act
Xcg = w1x1+w2x2+w3x3/w1+w2+w3 |
|
Uniform Circular Motion
|
Motion of the object that moves along a circular path with constant speed (NOT velocity)
|
|
Velocity of UCM
|
velocity is constantly changing (vector), always tangent to the circle
|
|
Centripetal acceleration
|
Ac= v^2/r, always points toward the center of the circle, perpendicular to velocity
|
|
Centripetal force
|
F = m* v^2/r
vector sum of all the forces |
|
Torque
|
Measure of forces effectivenes to accelerate object rotationally
torque = rFsin theta torque = lF, l - lever arm |
|
Translational equilibrium
|
state of the system if forces cancel
|
|
Rotational Equilibrium
|
state of the system if torques cancel
|
