Study Guideline
- Exam 1:
- Vectors
- Representation of vectors
- Graphic representation
- Graphic definition of operators
- Linear space and basis: (3D) a
= a1*e1 + a2* e2 + a3*e3
- Coordination system
- Polar/spherical coordinates: 2D (r,
θ), 3D (r,θ,
φ)
- Cartesian coordinates: (x,y,z)
- Operators of vectors
- Unary operator: +A, -A, etc.
- Binary operator: A+B, A-B, αA,
A·B, A×B,
A∧B, etc.
- Operators definition using graphic representation and
Cartesian system
- Kinematics
- Position described as vectors: relative to coordination system
- Displacement:
- Velocity:
- Acceleration:
- Kinematic models for point
- constant acceleration motion
- uniform circular motion
- Exam 2:
- Point-Mass Model
- Newton's three laws of motion
- Define inertial
reference frame which the
laws are based upon.
- Pair-wise only
interaction picture
- Time-reversal symmetry
- Energy, Work
- Conservative Force/Potential Energy
- Work-Energy Theorem/Newton's Second Law
- Momentum, Impulse
- Momentum-Impulse Theorem/Newton's Third
Law
- Exam 3:
- Many Points-Masses Model
- Descriptions
- Total mass M=sum(mi)
- Center of mass
rcm=sum(mi*ri)/M
- Velocity and
acceleration of center of
mass:
- Center of force rcfxsum(Fi)
= sum(rixFi)
- Total momentum: Pnet
= sum(mixvi)
- Total kinetic energy:
Knet=sum(1/2*mi*v2i)
- Translational kinetic
energy: KT=1/2*M*v2cm
- Newton's Laws of Motion
- Second law:
dPnet/dt = Fnet
- Third law: for an
isolated system,
Pnet=const
- Work-Energy Theorem for many
points-masses model
- Momentum-Impulse Theorem for many
points-masses model
- Special case: rigid body
- Description:
- Kinematic models:
- Constant angular
acceleration motion
- Precession (constant
magnitude of angular
acceleration)
- Special case: elasticity
- Special case: fluid
- Final Exam (comprehensive):
