00-Mathematics for this course
 Measured in radians, $$\theta = s/r$$ defines angle (in radians), where s is arclength and r is radius. The circumference of a circle is $$C_\odot = \,2\pi r$$ and the circle's area is $$A_\odot = \,\pi r^2$$ is its area. The surface area of a sphere is $$A_\bigcirc = 4\pi r^2$$ and sphere's volume is $$V_\bigcirc = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$$

A vector can be expressed as, $$\vec A = A_x \, \hat i+ A_y \, \hat j$$, where  $$A_x=A\cos\theta$$, and  $$A_y=A\sin\theta$$ are the x and y components. Alternative notation for the unit vectors $$(\hat i, \hat j)$$ include $$(\hat x, \hat y)$$ and $$(\widehat {e_1}, \widehat {e_2})$$. An important vector is the displacement from the origin, with components are typically written without subscripts: $$\vec r = x\hat x + y\hat y$$. The magnitude (or absolute value or norm) of a vector is is $$A \equiv |\vec A|= \sqrt{A_x^2 + A_y^2} \quad$$, where the angle (or phase), $$\theta$$, obeys $$\tan\theta=y/x$$, or (almost) equivalently, $$\theta = \arctan{(y/x)} \quad$$. As with any function/inverse function pair, the tangent and arctangent are related by $$\tan(\tan^{-1}\mathcal X) = \mathcal X$$ where $$\mathcal X = y/x$$. The arctangent is not a true function because it is multivalued, with $$\tan^{-1}(\tan \theta) = \theta\; or\; \theta+\pi$$. The geometric interpretations of $$\vec A +\vec B =\vec C$$ and $$\vec B = \vec C -\vec A$$ are shown in the figure. Vector addition and subtraction can also be defined through the components: $$\vec A +\vec B =\vec C \Leftrightarrow$$ $$A_x + B_x =C_x$$ AND $$A_y + B_y =C_y$$

03-Two-Dimensional Kinematics
 $$v^2=v_0^2+ 2a_x\Delta x + 2a_y\Delta y$$  ... in advanced notation this becomes  $$\Delta (v^2) = 2\vec a\cdot\Delta\vec\ell$$.

In free fall we often set, ax=0 and  ay= -g. If angle is measured with respect to the x axis:

$$ v_x = v\cos\theta$$     $$ v_y =  v\sin\theta$$     $$ v_{x0} =  v_0\cos\theta_0$$     $$ v_{y0} =  v_0\sin\theta_0$$

$$\underbrace{\vec v_{M|E}}_{50\;km/hr}=\underbrace{\vec v_{M|T}}_{10\;km/hr}+\underbrace{\vec v_{T|E}}_{40\;km/hr}\,$$ 

04-Dynamics: Force and Newton's Laws
 Newton's laws of motion, can be expressed with two equations, $$ m\vec a = \sum\vec F_j  \,$$ and $$\vec F_{ij}=-\vec F_{ji}$$. The second represents the fact that the force that the i-th object exerts one object exerts on the j-th object is equal and opposite the force that the j-th exerts on the i-th object.

05-Friction, Drag, and Elasticity
 Also, air drag often depends on speed, an effect this model fails to capture. 
 * $$f_k=\mu_k N$$ is an approximation for the force friction when an object is sliding on a surface, where μk ("mew-sub-k") is the kinetic coefficient of friction, and N is the normal force.
 * $$f_s\le \mu_sN$$ approximates the maximum possible friction (called static friction) that can occur before the object begins to slide. Usually μs > μk.

06-Uniform Circular Motion and Gravitation

 * $$2\pi\;rad=360\;deg=1\;rev$$ relates the radian, degree, and revolution.


 * $$f = \frac{\#\,\text{revs}}{\#\,\text{secs}}$$ is the number of revolutions per second, called frequency.


 * $$T = \frac{\#\,\text{secs}}{\#\,\text{revs}}$$ is the number of seconds per revolution, called period. Obviously $$fT = 1$$.


 * $$\omega = \frac{\Delta\theta}{\Delta t}$$ is called angular frequency (ω is called omega, and &theta; is measured in radians). Obviously $$\omega T = 2\pi$$


 * $$a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\omega v =\omega^2 r$$ is the acceleration of uniform circular motion, where v is speed, and r is radius.


 * $$F = G \frac{mM}{r^2}= mg^*$$ is the force of gravity between two objects, where G ≈ 6.674 × 10-11 m3·kg−1·s−2.

07-Work and Energy
 
 * $$KE = \frac 1 2 m v^2\,$$ is kinetic energy, where m is mass and v is speed..
 * $$U_g = mgy$$ is gravitational potential energy,where y is height, and $$g = 9.80\;\frac{m}{s^2}$$ is the gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface.
 * $$U_s = \frac 1 2 k_s x^2$$ is the potential energy stored in a spring with spring constant $$k_s$$.
 * $$\sum KE_f + \sum PE_f = \sum KE_i + \sum PE_i -Q$$ relates the final energy to the initial energy. If energy is lost to heat or other nonconservative force, then Q>0.
 * $$W = F \ell\cos\theta=\vec F\cdot\vec\ell$$ (measured in Joules) is the work done by a force $$F$$ as it moves an object a distance $$\ell$$. The angle between the force and the displacement is &theta;.
 * $$\sum \vec F\cdot\Delta\ell$$ describes the work if the force is not uniform. The steps, $$\Delta\vec\ell$$, taken by the particle are assumed small enough that the force is approximately uniform over the small step.  If force and displacement are parallel, then the work becomes the area under a curve of F(x) versus x.
 * $$P=\frac{\vec F \cdot \vec\Delta \ell}{\Delta t}=\vec F\cdot\vec v$$ is the power (measured in Watts) is the rate at which work is done. (v is velocity.)

08-Linear Momentum and Collisions
 
 * $$ \vec p = m\vec v$$ is momentum, where m is mass and $$ \vec v$$ is velocity. The net momemtum is conserved if all forces between a system of particles are internal (i.e., come equal and opposite pairs):
 * $$\sum \vec p_f = \sum \vec p_i$$.
 * $$\bar F\Delta t = \Delta p$$ is the impulse, or change in momentum associated with a brief force acting over a time interval $$\Delta t$$. (Strictly speaking, $$\bar F$$ is a time-averaged force defined by integrating over the time interval.)

09-Statics and Torque

 * $$\tau = rF\sin\theta,\!$$ is the torque caused by a force, F, exerted at a distance ,r, from the axis. The angle between r and F is &theta;.

The for torque is the  (N·m). It would be inadvisable to call this a Joule, even though a Joule is also a (N·m). The symbol for torque is typically τ, the Greek letter tau. When it is called moment, it is commonly denoted M. The lever arm is defined as either r, or r⊥. Labeling r as the lever arm allows moment arm to be reserved for r⊥. <section end=09-Statics_and_Torque/>

<section end=10-Rotational_Motion_and_Angular Momentum/>

11-Fluid statics
<section begin=11-Fluid_statics/> Pressure versus Depth: A fluid's pressure is F/A where F is force and A is a (flat) area. The pressure at depth, $$h$$ below the surface is the weight (per area) of the fluid above that point. As shown in the figure, this implies:


 * $$ P = P_0 + \rho g h $$

where $$P_0$$ is the pressure at the top surface, $$h$$ is the depth, and $$\rho$$ is the mass density of the fluid. In many cases, only the difference between two pressures appears in the final answer to a question, and in such cases it is permissible to set the pressure at the top surface of the fluid equal to zero. In many applications, it is possible to artificially set $$P_0$$ equal to zero, for example at atmospheric pressure. The resulting pressure is called the gauge pressure, for $$ P_{gauge} = \rho gh $$ below the surface of a body of water.

Buoyancy and Archimedes' principle Pascal's principle does not hold if two fluids are separated by a seal that prohibits fluid flow (as in the case of the piston of an internal combustion engine). Suppose the upper and lower fluids shown in the figure are not sealed, so that a fluid of mass density $$\rho_{flu}$$ comes to equilibrium above and below an object. Let the object have a mass density of $$\rho_{obj}$$ and a volume of $$A\Delta h$$, as shown in the figure. The net (bottom minus top) force on the object due to the fluid is called the buoyant force:


 * $$\rm{buoyant}\;\rm{force}=(A\Delta h )(\rho_{flu})g\,$$,

and is directed upward. The volume in this formula, AΔh, is called the volume of the displaced fluid, since placing the volume into a fluid at that location requires the removal of that amount of fluid. Archimedes principle states:


 * A body wholly or partially submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

12-Fluid dynamics
<section begin=12-Fluid_dynamics/> <section end=12-Fluid_dynamics/>
 * $$\frac{\Delta V}{ \Delta t } =\dot V=Av = Q$$ the volume flow for incompressible fluid flow if viscosity and turbulence are both neglected. The average velocity is $$v$$ and $$A$$ is the cross sectional area of the pipe.  As shown in the figure, $$v_1A_1=v_2A_2$$ because $$Av$$ is constant along the developed flow.  To see this, note that the volume of pipe is $$\Delta V=A\Delta x$$ along a distance $$\Delta x$$. And, $$v = \Delta x / \Delta t$$ is the volume of fluid that passes a given point in the pipe during a time $$\Delta t$$.
 * $$P_1 + \rho g y_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \rho g y_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$$ is Bernoulli's equation, where $$P$$ is pressure, $$\rho$$ is density, and $$y$$ is height. This holds for inviscid flow.

<section begin=13-Temperature,_Kinetic Theory,_and_Gas_Laws/> <section end=13-Temperature,_Kinetic Theory,_and_Gas_Laws/>

 * $$PV=nRT=Nk_BT$$ is the ideal gas law, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles and N is the number of atoms or molecules. Temperature must be measured on an absolute scale (e.g. Kelvins).
 * NAkB=R where NA= 6.02 × 1023 is the Avogadro number. Boltzmann's constant can also be written in eV and Kelvins: kB ≈8.6 × 10-5 eV/deg.
 * $$\frac 3 2 k_B T =\frac 1 2 mv_{rms}^2$$ is the average translational kinetic energy per "atom" of a 3-dimensional ideal gas.
 * $$v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3k_BT}{m}}=\sqrt{\overline{v^2}}$$ is the root-mean-square speed of atoms in an ideal gas.

14-Heat and Heat Transfer
<section begin=14-Heat_and_Heat_Transfer/> Here it is convenient to define heat as energy that passes between two objects of different temperature $$Q$$ The SI unit is the Joule. The rate of heat trasfer, $$\Delta Q/\Delta t$$ or $$\dot Q$$ is "power": 1 Watt = 1 W = 1J/s <section end=14-Heat_and_Heat_Transfer/>
 * $$Q = mc_S\Delta T$$ is the heat required to change the temperature of a substance of mass, m. The change in temperature is &Delta;T.  The specific heat, cS, depends on the substance (and to some extent, its temperature and other factors such as pressure).  Heat is the transfer of energy, usually from a hotter object to a colder one.  The units of specfic heat are energy/mass/degree, or J/(kg-degree).
 * $$Q = mL$$ is the heat required to change the phase of a a mass, m, of a substance (with no change in temperature). The latent heat, L, depends not only on the substance, but on the nature of the phase change for any given substance.  LF is called the latent heat of fusion, and refers to the melting or freezing of the substance.  LV is called the latent heat of vaporization, and refers to evaporation or condensation of a substance.
 * $$\dot Q= \frac{k_cA}{d}\Delta T$$ is rate of heat transfer for a material of area, A. The difference in temperature between two sides separated by a distance, d, is $$\Delta T$$. The thermal conductivity, kc, is a property of the substance used to insulate, or subdue, the flow of heat.
 * $$\dot Q= \sigma A\epsilon T^{4}$$ is the power radiated by a surface of area, A, at a temperature, T, measured on an absolute scale such as Kelvins. The emissivity, $$0\le\epsilon\le 1$$, is 1 for a black body, and 0 for a perfectly reflecting surface.  The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is $$\sigma\approx 5.67 \times 10^{-8}\, \mathrm{J\, s^{-1}m^{-2}K^{-4}}$$.

15-Thermodynamics
<section begin=15-Thermodynamics/> A point on a PV diagram define's the system's pressure (P) and volume (V). Energy (E) and pressure (P) can be deduced from equations of state: E=E(V,P) and T=T(V,P). If the piston moves, or if heat is added or taken from the substance, energy (in the form of work and/or heat) is added or subtracted. If the path returns to its original point on the PV-diagram (e.g., 12341 along the rectantular path shown), and if the process is quasistatic, all state variables (P, V, E, T) return to their original values, and the final system is indistinguishable from its original state.
 * Pressure (P), Energy (E), Volume (V), and Temperature (T) are state variables (state functionscalled state functions). The number of particles (N) can also be viewed as a state variable.
 * Work (W), Heat (Q) are not state variables.
 * $$ S (V,T)= \frac{3 Nk_B}{2}\ln T+ Nk_B\ln V + constant$$, is the entropy of an ideal, monatomic gas. The constant is arbitrary only in classical (non-quantum) thermodynamics. Since it is a function of state variables, entropy is also a state function.

The net work done per cycle is area enclosed by the loop. This work equals the net heat flow into the system, $$Q_{in} - Q_{out} $$ (valid only for closed loops).

Remember: Area "under" is the work associated with a path; Area "inside" is the total work per cycle.


 * $$\Delta W=-F\Delta x= ( -P\cdot\mathrm{Area} ) \left( \frac{\Delta V}{\mathrm{Area}} \right) = -P\Delta V$$ is the work done on a system of pressure P by a piston of voulume V. If ΔV>0 the substance is expanding as it exerts an outward force, so that ΔW<0 and the substance is doing work on the universe; ΔW>0 whenever the universe is doing work on the system.
 * $$\Delta Q$$ is the amount of heat (energy) that flows into a system. It is positive if the system is placed in a heat bath of higher temperature. If this process is reversible, then the heat bath is at an infinitesimally higher temperature and a finite &Delta;Q takes an infinite amount of time.
 * $$\Delta E=\Delta Q-P\Delta V$$ is the change in energy (First Law of Thermodynamics).

CALCULUS: $$ \oint P \ dV = Q_{in} - Q_{out}$$.


 * In an isothermal expansion (contraction), temperature, T, is constant. Hence P=nRT/V and substitution yields,
 * $$\int_{Vi}^{Vf}PdV=\int_{Vi}^{Vf}nRT\frac{dV}{V}=nRT\int_{Vi}^{Vf}\frac{dV}{V}=nRT\ln\frac{V_f}{V_i}$$

Any device or substance that obeys this linear relation between I and V is called ohmic.
 * $$I=nqAv_{drift}$$ relates the density (n), the charge(q), and the average drift velocity (vdrift) of the carriers. The area (A) is measured by imagining a cut across the wire oriented such that the drift velocity is perpendicular to the surface of the (imaginary) cut.
 * $$R=\frac{\rho L}{A} \ $$ expresses the resistance of a sample of ohmic material with a length (L) and area (A). The 'resistivity', &rho; ("row"), is an intensive property of matter.
 * Power is energy/time, measured in joules/second or J/s. Often called P (never p).  It is measured in watts (W)
 * Current is charge/time, measured in coulombs/second or C/s. Often called I or i.  It is measured in amps or ampheres (A)
 * Electric potential (or voltage) is energy/charge, measured in joules/coulomb or J/C. Often called V (sometimes E, emf, $$\mathcal E$$).  It is measured in volts (V)
 * Resistance is voltage/current, measured in volts/amp or V/A. Often called R (sometimes r, Z) It is measured in Ohms (Ω).
 * $$P = IV = I^2R=\frac{V^2}{R}$$ is the power dissipated as current flows through a resistor

 * $$V_{\rm out}=\frac{R_2}{R_1+R_2}V_{\rm in}$$ for the voltage divider shown.
 * Simple RC circuit The figure to the right depicts a capacitor being charged by an ideal voltage source. If, at t=0, the switch is thrown to the other side, the capacitor will discharge, with the  voltage, V, undergoing exponential decay:

V(t)=V_0 e^{-\frac{t}{RC}} \ , $$

where V0 is the capacitor voltage at time t = 0 (when the switch was closed). The time required for the voltage to fall to $$\frac{V_0}{e}\approx .37V_0 $$ is called the RC time constant and is given by

 * Defining magnetic force and field without calculus:Manoderecha.svg
 * 1)   $$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$$ is the magnetic field at a distance r from an infinitely long wire carrying a current, where μ0 = 4π × 10−7 N A. This field points azimuthally around the wire in a direction defined by the right hand rule.  Application of the force law on a current element, we have
 * 2)   $$F=\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2\,\ell}{2\pi r}$$ is the force between two long wires of length $$\ell$$ separated by a short distance $$r<<\ell$$.  The currents are I1 and I2, with the force being attractive if the currents are flowing in the same direction.

Cyclotron motion: For a particle moving perpendicular to B, we have cyclotron motion. Recall that for uniform circular motion, the acceleration is a=v2/r, where r is the radius. Since sin &theta; =1, Newton's second law of motion (F=ma) yields,


 * $$ma=\frac{mv^2}{r}=qvB$$

Since, sin &theta; =0, for motion parallel to a magnetic field, particles in a uniform magnetic field move in spirals at a radius which is determined by the perpendicular component of the velocity:


 * $$r =\frac{mv_\perp}{qB}$$

Hall effect: The Hall effect occurs when the magnetic field, velocity, and electric field are mutually perpendicular. In this case, the electric and magnetic forces are aligned, and can cancel if qE=qvB (since sinθ = 1). Since both terms are porportional to charge, q, the appropriate ratio of electric to magnetic field for null net force depends only on velocity:


 * $$E = vB = \frac{\mathrm{emf}}{\ell}$$,

where we have used the fact that voltage (i.e. emf or potential) is related to the electric field and a displacement parallel to that field: ΔV = -E Δs cosθ

CALCULUS supplement:
 * $$\vec B=\oint\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{I d\vec{\ell} \times \hat r}{|r|^2}$$ and the volume integral $$\int\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{\vec J \times \hat r}{|r|^2} d\tau'$$, where $$\vec J$$ is current density.
 * $$\oint \mathbf{B} \cdot \mathrm{d}\mathbf{l} = \mu_0 I_{encl}$$ is Ampere's law relating a closed integral involving magnetic field to the total current enclosed by that path. It is often more convenient to define the magnetic field using $$\mathbf{H}$$ (typically called "H") and defined by $$\mu_0\mathbf{H}=\mathbf{B}$$ so that H is measured in Amps/meter:
 * $$\oint \mathbf{H} \cdot \mathrm{d}\mathbf{l} = I_{encl}$$

 * $$\vec E = \vec v \times \vec B$$ is a consequence of the magnetic force law as seen in the reference frame of a moving charged object, where E is the electric field perceived by an observer moving at velocity v in the presence of a magnetic vield, B.  Also written as, E = vBsin&theta;, this can be used to derive Faraday's law of induction. (Here, &theta; is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field.)
 * $$\Phi = \vec A\cdot\vec B = AB\cos\theta$$ is the magnetic flux, where &theta; is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to a surface of area, A.
 * $$emf=-N\frac{\Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}$$ is Faraday's law where t is time and N is the number of turns. The minus sign reminds us that the emf, or electromotive force, acts as a "voltage" that opposes the change in the magnetic field or flux.

24-Electromagnetic Waves
<section begin=24-Electromagnetic_Waves/> Maxwell's equations hold for all volumes and closed surfaces. In vacuum, electromagnetic waves travel at the speed, $$c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0\mu_0}}$$. The last row relates the volume integral of the charge density to the enclosed charge, and also the surface integral of the current density to the current that pierces the surface (or is enclosed by the closed loop that defines the surface). <section end=24-Electromagnetic_Waves/>
 * $$\epsilon_0 \partial\vec E/\partial t$$ is called the displacement current because it replaces the current density when using Ampère's circuital law to calculate the line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop.

25-Geometric Optics
<section begin=25-Geometric_Optics/> $$\frac{1}{S_1} + \frac{1}{S_2} = \frac{1}{f} $$ relates the focal length f of the lens, the image distance S1, and the object distance S2. The figure depicts the situation for which (S1, S2, f) are all positive: (1)The lens is converging (convex); (2) The real image is to the right of the lens; and (3) the object is to the left of the lens. If the lens is diverging (concave), then f < 0. If the image is to the left of the lens (virtual image), then S2 < 0. <section end=25-Geometric_Optics/>
