POSITION, DISTANCE AND DISPLACEMENT

CONTENTS

Position

Distance

Displacement

POSITION

The position of an object in space or on a plane is the point at which the object can be located with reference to a given point (the origin).

DISTANCE

This is a measure of the separation between two points. It has magnitude but no direction. Hence, it is a scalar quantity

DETERMINATION OF DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS

If two points A and B located in a plane are defined by two ordered pair of values(X1 Y1) and (X2 Y2) or assumed to be in space where they are defined by (X1, Y1, Z1) and (X2, Y2, Z2) the distance between them can be determined by applying this relation.

S=√[(X2-X1)+Y2-Y]

S=√[(X2-X1)+Y2-Y+(Z2-Z1)]

DISPLACEMENT

Displacement is the distance covered in a specified direction. It is a vector quantity, which has the same unit as distance.

SCALAR AND VECTOR QUANTITIES

Concept of scalar and vector quantities

Vector representation, addition of vectors
Resolution of vectors and resultant

CONCEPT OF SCALAR AND VECTOR QUANTITIES

Physical quantities are divided into scalar and vector quantities.

A scalar is one which has only magnitude (size) e.g. distance, speed, temperature, volume, work, energy, power, mass etc.

A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction e.g. force, weight, magnetic flux, electric fields, gravitational fields etc.

VECTOR REPRESENTATION

A vector quantity can be graphically represented by a line drawn so that the length of the line denotes the magnitude of the quantity. The direction of the vector is shown by the arrow head.

ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF VECTORS

Two or more vectors acting on a body in a specified direction can be combined to produce a single vector having the same effect. The single vector is called the resultant.

For example:

(a) Two forces Y and X with magnitude of 3N and 4N respectively acting along the same direction will produce a resultant of 7N (algebraic sum of the two vectors).

(b) If Y and X act in opposite direction, the resultant will be 1N.

) θ

4N X

R2 = X2 + Y2

R2 = 42 + 32

R2 =16 + 9

R2 = 25

R = √ 25

R = 5N

Tan θ = Y/X

θ = tan-1(Y /X)

θ = tan-1(3/4)

θ = tan-1(0.75)

θ = 36.90

(d) If the two vectors are inclined at an angle less than 900 or more than 900, the resultant is obtained by using Parallelogram law of vector addition.

Parallelogram law of vector addition states that if two vectors are represented in magnitude and direction by adjacent sides of a parallelogram , the resultant is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram drawn from the common point

RESOLUTION OF VECTORS

A single vector can be resolved into two vectors called components. A vector F represented as the diagonal of the parallelogram can be resolved into its component later taken as the adjacent sides of the parallelogram.

) θ X

Sinθ = y /F

y = f sin θ (vertical component)

Cosθ = x /F

x = F cos θ (horizontal component)

The direction of F is given by

Tan θ = y/x

θ = tan-1 (y/x)

THE RESULATNT OF MORE THAN TWO VECTORS

To find the resultant of more than two vectors, we resolve each vector in two perpendicular direction s add all the horizontal components X, and all the vertical components, Y.

For example, consider four forces acting on a body as shown below

Figure 1:

F2 F1

Θ2 θ1

Θ3 θ4

F3 F4

Figure 2:

Add all the resolved horizontal components

Figure 1:

X = F1 cos θ1 + (-F2 cos θ2 ) + (-F3 cos θ3 ) + F4 cos θ4

Y= F1 sin θ1 + F2 sinθ2 + (-F3 sinθ3) + (-F4 sinθ4)

Figure 2:

R2 = X2 + Y2

R = √X2+ Y2

And the direction ∞ is given by

Tan ∞ = y/x

From equation (2) substitute for ‘v’ into equation (1)

Calculations Using the Equation of Motion

A car moves from rest with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s2. Find its velocity when it has covered distance of 50m

u= 0m/s; a= 0.2m/s2; s= 50m; v =?

v2 =u2 + 2as

v2 = (0)2 + 2 (0.2 x 50)

v2 = 20

v = √20

v = 2√5m/s

A car travels with a uniform velocity of 108km/hr .How far does it travels in ½ a minute?

Solution

v=108km/hr; t= ½ minutes; Distance =?

v = 108 km/hr = 108 x1000

3600

v= 30m/s

t= ½ 60 = 30secs

s = 675 m

MOTION UNDER GRAVITY

A body moving with a uniform acceleration in space does so under the influence of gravity with a constant acceleration . (g = 10 m/s2). In dealing with vertical motion under gravity, it must be noted that:

a= g is positive for a downward motion
a= -g for an upward motion
the velocity v= 0 at maximum height for a vertically projected object
The initial velocity u=0 for a body dropped from rest above the ground
For a re-bouncing body the heights above the ground is zero
The time of fall of two objects of different masses has nothing to do with their masses but is dependent on the distance and acceleration due to gravity as shown below

s = ut + ½ gt2

s = ½ gt2 (u=0; initial velocity of an object dropping from a height)

t = √ [(2s)/g]

The above relationship can also be used to determine the value of acceleration due to gravity. If we plot s against t, it will give us a parabolic curve.

T = 2t = 2U sin θ ——————- 4

The maximum height (H) – is defined as the highest vertical distance reached measured from the horizontal projection plane.

For maximum height H,

V2 = U2 sin2θ – 2g H

At maximum height H, V=0

2gH = U2 ——————- 5

The range (R) – is the horizontal distance from the point of projection of a particle to the point where the particle hit the projection plane again.

Horizontally, considering the range covered

Using S= ut + ½at2 (where a=0 for the horizontal motion)

S = R = U cosθ x t (distance = velocity x time; there time is the time of flight)

R = U cos θ (2 U sin θ)

R = 2U2 sin θ cos θ

NEWTON’S LAW OF MOTION

Newton’s laws of motion
Conservation of linear momentum
Collision

NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION

Newton’s first law of motion states that everybody continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in straight line unless it is acted upon by a force. The tendency of a body to remain at rest or, if moving, to continue its motion in a straight line is called the inertia. That is why Newton’s first law is otherwise referred to as the law of inertia.

Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction in of the force.

F α mv –mu

F α m (v –u)

F α ma

F = kma

Where k =1

F =ma

MOMENTUM

Momentum of a body is the product of the mass and velocity of the body. The S.I. unit of momentum is kgm/s.

IMPULSE

Impulse is the product of a force and time. It is also defined as the change in momentum. Thus both momentum and impulse have ‘Ns’ as unit

F = m (v-u)/t

Ft = mv – mu (where ‘mv-mu’ is the change of momentum)

F x t = I (Ns)

Newton’s third law of motion states that to every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. A practical demonstration of this law can be observed when a bullet is fired from a gun, the person holding it experiences the backward recoil force of the gun (reaction) which is equal to the propulsive force (action) acting on the bullet.

According to Newton second law of motion, force is proportional to change in momentum

Therefore the momentum of the bullet is equal and opposite to the momentum of the gun i.e.

Mass of bullet x muzzle velocity = mass of gun x recoil velocity

Hence, if: m= mass of bullet, v= velocity of bullet, M=mass of gun, V= velocity of the recoil of the gun.

Then, the velocity, V, of the recoil of the gun is given by:

MV = mv

V = mv/M

CONSERVATION OF LINEAR MOMENTUM

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that when two or more bodies collide, their momentum remain constant provided there is no external force acting on the system. This implies that in a closed or isolated system where there is no external force, the total momentum after collision remains constant. The principle is true for both elastic and inelastic collision.

COLLISION

There are two types of collision- elastic and inelastic.

In elastic collision the two bodies collide and then move with different velocities. Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved e.g. collision between gaseous particles, a ball which rebounds to its original height etc.

If the two colliding bodies have masses m1and m2 initial velocities u1 and u2 and final velocities v1 and v2. The conservation principle can be mathematically expressed as:

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

In an inelastic collision, the two bodies join together after the collision and with the same velocity. Here, momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved because part of it has been converted to heat or sound energy, leading to deformation.

Thus, the conversation principle can be re-written as:

m1u1 + m2u2 = v (m1 +m2)

Since momentum is a vector quantity, all the velocities must be measured in the same direction, assigning positive signs to the forward velocities and negative signs to the backward or opposite velocities

TWO BODIES MOVING IN THE SAME DIRECTION BEFORE COLLISION

VA VB

MA MB MA MB

BEFORE COLLISION AFTER COLLISION

MAVA + MBVB = V (MA + MB)

MAVA – MBVB = V (MA + MB)

V= MAVA + MBVB

COLLISION BETWEEN A STATIONARY AND MOVING BODY

VA = V

MA MB MAMB

The momentum of a stationary body is zero because velocity is zero

MAVA + 0 = V (MA + MB)

V = MAVA

MA + MB

EXAMPLE

Two moving toys of masses 50kg and 30kg are traveling on the same plane with speeds of 5 m/s and 3 m/s respectively in the same direction. If they collide and stick together, calculate their common velocity.

MAVA + MBVB = V (MA + MB)

V= MAVA + MBVB

(MA + MB)

V = (50 x 5) + (30 x 3)

50 + 30

V = 250 + 90

V = 340

V = 4.05 m/s

Two balls of masses 0.5 kg and 0.3kg move towards each other in the same line at speeds of 3 m/s and 4 m/s respectively. After the collision, the first ball has a speed of 1m/s in the opposite direction. What is the speed of the second ball after collision

3m/s 4m/s 1m/s V

0.5 0.3 0.5 0.3

Before After

3×0.5 + (0.3 x-4) = 0.5 (-1) + 0.3v

– 1.2 = -0.5 + 0.3v

0.3v = 2.0 – 1.2

V = 0.8 / 0.3

V = 2.7m/s

A gun of mass 100kg fires a bullet of mass 20g at a speed of 400m/s. What is the recoil velocity of the gun?

Anticlockwise moment = F1X1+ F3X3

(F1X1+ F3X3) – (F2X2 + F4X4) = 0

Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment

MOMENT OF A FORCE

The moment of a force is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance

M = F x distance

Unit =Nm

COUPLE

A couple is a system of two parallel, equal and opposite forces acting along the same line

The moment of a couple is the product of one of the forces and the perpendicular distance between the lines of action of the two forces

M = f x 2r

M = f x d

The distance between the two equal forces is called the arm of the couple

The moment of a couple is also called a torque

Application of the Effect of Couples

It is easier to turn a tap on or off by applying couple
It is easier to turn a steering wheel of a vehicle by applying a couple with our two hands instead of a single force with one arm.

CENTRE OF GRAVITY

The centre of gravity of a body is the point through which the line of action of the weight of the body always passes irrespective of the position of the body. It is also the point at which the entire weight of the body appears to be concentrated.

The centre of mass of a body is the point at which the total mass of the body appears to be concentrated. Sometimes, the center of mass may coincides with the centre of gravity for small objects.

STABILITY OF OBJECTS

There are three types of equilibrium- stable equilibrium, unstable equilibrium, and neutral equilibrium.

Stable equilibrium: a body is said to be in stable equilibrium if it tends to return to its original position when slightly displaced. A low centre of gravity and wide base will put objects in stable equilibrium e.g. a cone resting on its base ; a racing car with low C.G and wide base; a ball or a sphere in the middle of a bowl.
Unstable equilibrium: a body is said to be in an unstable equilibrium if when slightly displaced it tends to move further away from its original position e.g. a cone or an egg resting on its apex. High C.G. and a narrow base usually causes unstable equilibrium.
Neutral equilibrium: a body is said to be in neutral equilibrium if when slightly displaced, it tends to come to rest in its new position e.g a cone or cylinder or an egg resting on its side.

SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION

CONTENT

Definition
Speed

Frequency

DEFINITION

This is the periodic motion of a body or particle along a straight line such that the acceleration of the body is directed towards a fixed point .

A particle undergoing simple harmonic motion will move to and fro in a straight line under the influence of a force. This influential force is called a restoring force as it always directs the particle back to its equilibrium position.

Examples of simple harmonic motions are

loaded test tube in a liquid

iiMass on a string

iii The simple pendulum

Pq s

Y A Z

As the particle P moves round the circle once, it sweeps through an angle θ = 360 (or 2π radians) in the time T the period of motion. The rate of change of the angle θ with time (t) is known as the angular velocity ω

Angular velocity (ω) is defined by

ω = angle turned through by the body

Time taken

ω = θ /t (rad /sec)

θ = ωt

This is similar to the relation distance = uniform velocity x time (s= =vt ) for motion in a straight line

As the angle is changing with time so is the arc length

S = z p

Changing with time. By definition θ in radians = s/r and hence

S= rθ

A = r = radius of the circle

s/t = rθ /t = s/r /t

s/t = s/t x 1/r = r θ /t

v =r ω

The linear velocity v at any point ,Q whose distance from C the central point is x is given by

V = ω √ A2 – X2

The minimum velocity ,Vm corresponds to the point at X = 0 that is the velocity at the central point or centre of motion .

Hence, Vm =ω A

Thus the maximum velocity of the SHM occurs at the centre of the motion (X=0) while the minimum velocity occurs at the extreme position of motion (x=A ).

[mediator_tech]

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LINEAR ACCELERATION AND ANGULAR VELOCITY

X = A COS θ

θ = ωt

X = A cos ω t

dx = -ωA sin ω t

dv =-ω2 A cos ω t

=-ω2X

The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is always inwards towards C while the displacement is measured outwards from C.

Energy of simple harmonic motion

Forced vibration and resonance

ENERGY OF SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION

R Q

PE = mgh PE is max

(PE is max) (v=0 , k.e=0 )

h=0, PE =0; KE = ½ MV2; KE is max

Since force and displacement are involved, it follows that work and energy are involved in simple harmonic motion.

At any instant of the motion , the system may contain some energy as kinetic energy (KE ) or potential energy(PE) .The total energy (KE + PE ) for a body performing SHM is always conserved although it may change form between PE and KE .

When a mass is suspended from the end of a spring stretched vertically downwards and released , it oscillates in a simple harmonic motion .During this motion , the force tending to restore the spring to its elastic restoring force is simply the elastic restoring force which is given by

F= – ky

K is the force constant of the spring

Mg y

The total work done in stretching the spring at distance y is given by

W = average force x displacement

W = ½ ky x y = ½ ky2

Thus the maximum energy total energy stored in the spring is given by

W = ½ KA2

A = amplitude (maximum displacement from equilibrium position).

This maximum energy is conserved throughout the motion of the system.

At any stage of the oscillation, the total energy is

W = ½ KA2

W= ½ mv2 + ½ ky2

½ mv2 = ½ KA2 – ½ ky2

v2 = k/m (A2 –y2)

V = √k/m(A2-y2)

The constant K is obtained from

Hooke’s law in which

F= mg = ke

Where e is the extension produced in the spring by a mass m

But V= ω√A2-X2

Therefore ω =√k/m

Hence the period, T = 2π/ω

T = 2π√m/k

EXAMPLE

A body of mass 20g is suspended from the end of a spiral spring whose force constant is 0.4Nm-1. The body is set into a simple harmonic motion with amplitude 0.2m. Calculate:

The period of the motion
The frequency of the motion
The angular speed
The total energy
The maximum velocity of the motion
The maximum acceleration

SOLUTION

T = 2π √m/k = 2π √ 0.02/0.4 = 0.447 π sec = 1.41 sec
f=1/T = 1/1.41 = 0.71Hz
ω =2πf = 2π x 0.71= 4.46 rad. S-1
Total energy = ½ KA2 = ½ (0.4) (0.2)2 = 0.008 J
½ mv2 = /12 KA2

Vm2 = 0.008 x 2

0.02

= 0.8

Vm= 0.89 m/s

Or V= ω A

= 4.462 x 0.2

= 3.98m/s2

FORCED VIBRATION AND RESONANCE

Vibrations resulting from the action of an external periodic force on an oscillating body are called forced vibrations. Every vibrating object possesses a natural frequency (fo) of vibration. This is the frequency with which the object will oscillate when it is left undisturbed after being set into vibration. The principle of the sounding board of a piano or the diaphragm of a loudspeaker is based on the phenomenon of forced vibrations.

Whenever the frequency of vibrating body acting on a system coincides with the natural frequency of the system, then the system is set into vibration with relatively large amplitude. This phenomenon is called resonance.

Terminologies used in machines

Types and examples

Machines make our work simpler. It is a force producing device by which a large force called load can be overcome by a small applied force called effort

Terminologies Used In Machines

FORCE RATIO (MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE )
VELOCITY RATIO
EFFICIENCY

MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE

We define effort as the force applied to a machine and load as the resistance overcome by the machine. The ability of a machine to overcome a large load through a small effort is known as its mechanical advantage .It is given by

M.A = Load/ Effort

The mechanical advantage of a machine is influenced by friction in parts

VELOCITY RATIO (V.R)

The velocity ratio is the ratio of distance moved by the effort and load in the same interval

V.R = Distance moved by effort

Distance moved by the load

The velocity ratio depends on the geometry of the machine

EFFICIENCY (E)

The efficiency of a machine is defined as

Ef =Useful work done by the machine X 100

Work put into the machine

Work = force x distance

Ef = load x distance moved by load x 100

Effort x distance moved by effort

Then V.R =M.A

TYPES OF MACHINES

LEVER

This is the simplest form of machine. It consist of a rigid rod pivoted about a point called the fulcrum F with a small effort applied at one end of the lever to overcome a large load L at the other end . There are various types of lever depending on the relative positions of the load, effort and fulcrum.

Taking moment about F

E x a = L x b which is given

L = a =M.A

E b

a/b = V.R

Examples of first class lever are the crowbar, pair of scissors or pincers, claw hammer, see-saw ,pliers etc

In second order lever , the load is between the fulcrum and effort

Examples are wheel barrow, nut cracker tarp door , an oar etc .

In the third order lever, the effort is between the fulcrum and the load . Human fore arm , laboratory tong etc.

WHEEL AND AXLE

It consists of a large wheel to which a rope or string is attached and an axle or small wheel with the rope or string wound round it in opposite direction . The load to be lifted is hung at the free end of the rope on the axle while the effort is applied at the end of the rope on the wheel . For each complete rotation the load and the effort move through distance equal to the circumference of the wheel and axle respectively.

wheel

R r axle

E L

V.R = R/r

The principle of wheel and axle is used in brace screw driver but spanner windless and gear-boxes

GEAR WHEELS

In gear boxes , there are toothed wheels of different diameter interlocked to give turning force at low speed depending on which gear is the driver and which is the driven

V.R = No of teeth on driven wheel ( A)

No of teeth on driving wheel (B)

belt

a shafts

THE HYDRAULIC PRESS

The machine is widely used for compressing waste paper and cotton into compact bales forging different alloys into desirable shape etc .It s work is based on Pascal’s principle which states that pressure is transmitted equally in fluid Oil is the liquid normally used in hydraulic press

E L

V.R = R2/r2

THE WEDGE

The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. It is used to separate bodies which are held together by large force .Examples of wedge type of machines are axes chisels knives etc.

M.A = X1 = Slant height of wedge

X0 Thickness of wedge

PULLEY

A simple pulley is a fixed wheel hung on a suitable support with a rope passing round its groove.

E L

BLOCK AND TACKLE (PULLEY)

This is the more practical system of pulleys in which one or more pulley are mounted on the same axle with one continuous rope passing all-round the pulleys

V.R = 4 V.R =5

EFFECTS OF FRICTION ON MACHINE

Work is always wasted in machines to overcome the frictional forces present between the moving parts and also to lift to part of the machine. The greater the friction, the greater the effort required and the smaller the M.A. M.A depend on friction but depend on the geometry of moving parts.

The efficiency of nearly all the machines varies with the load and the load and effort are related by : E = al + b ( a and b are constant ).This is called linear law for a machine .It follows that E is proportional to L .The value to give us the effort required to operate the machine moving part only if no load is present while A gives us the measure of the friction present

= M.A x 100

V.R

In practical machines the efficiency is usually less than 100% because of friction in the moving parts of the machine.

(1)INCLINED PLANE: This is in form of a sloping plank commonly used to raise heavy load such as barrels of oil with little applied effort than by lifting it vertically .

V.R = Distance moved by effort

Distance moved by load

= x /h ; V.R = 1/ sin θ

THE SCREW

Geometrically speaking the screw is an inclined plane wrapped round a cylinder to form a thread. The distance between successive threads on a screw is called its pitch. For one complete revolution of screw through an effort , the load moves a distance equal to its pitch e.g. screw jack nut and bolt

In a screw jack where length of the operating handle is a, the effort moved a distance equal to the pitch P.

Thus V.R= -2πa
