[b]Mass and Weight. Mass is defined as the quantity of matter in a body. It is measured in Kilogram (kg), e.g. The mass of a body such as bag, book etc. The weight of an object is defined as the earth pull of the body, i.e. Force acting on an object due to gravitational pull of the Earth. It is measured in Newton(N). It is a vector quantity which varies from place to place on the Earth's surface because of the; 1. Distance of object to the centre of the Earth. 2. Shape of the Earth. 3. Force of attraction of the body to the centre of the Earth. The relationship between the mass and weight is given by; w=mg where w is weight (N) m is mass (kg) g is acceleration due to gravity (m/s2). Example; Calculate the weight of an object whose mass is 12kg. [g=10m/s2. Solution; 1. Write out the parameters given. M=12kg g=10m/s2 w=? 2. What is/are the relationship between the parameters?..............................very good. W=mg. 3. Calculation w= 12 X 10 w= 120 w= 120N (unit is very very very very important in physics). Example; Calculate the weight of an object whose mass is 5000g. (g=10m/s2). Solution; 1. Write out the parameters........very good but, the standard unit of mass is Kg not g. 2. Convert all unit(s) into standard unit in physics. Your knowledge in mathematics is needed here, if 1000g=1kg 5000g=?.......... Very good, 5kg. 3. The relationship is? Very good............... W=mg w= 5 X 10 W= 50N. Example; Calculate the mass of an object whose weight is 45N. (g=10m/s2). Leave your answer in gram. a. 4.5kg b. 4500g. Solution; 1. Write out your parameters. 2. Relationship, w=mg. 3. calculation; w=mg 45 = m X 10. Mathematics again, this is change of subject. Divide both sides by 10. M = 4.5 the unit of m above is?..............very good kg. M = 4.5kg. Option a is very very very correct but the conditional statement ruled it out. 4. Watch out for conditional statement, mathematics again, if 1kg=1000g. Then, 4.5kg=?...........very good, 4500g which is option b. Note; 1. Acceleration due to gravity is more at the poles and less at the equator (this is due to reasons 1 and 2 above but 1 leads the way). 2. gEarth=6gmoon (i.e. g on Moon is 6times g on Earth). Explanation; if two objects are dropped from equal height in Earth and Moon, the object on the Moon will get to the surface before the object on Earth. Mass; 1. Mass is constant. 2. Mass is a scaler quantity. 3. Mass is the quantity of matter present in a body. 4. Unit is kg or g. 5. Mass is measured btw chemical/beam balance based on principle of moment. Weight; 1. Weight varies. 2. Unit is Newton(N). 3. Weight is a vector quantity. 4. Weight is Earth's pull of the body. 5. Weight is measured by spring balance based on Hooke's law.[/b] 2 Likes |

[b]Fundamental and Derived Units. Fundamental units are the accepted standard units or measures in which measurement is made. They are; 1. Metre as the unit of length. 2. Kilogram as the unit of mass. 3. Second as the unit of time. 4. Ampere as the unit of current. 5. Kelvin as unit of temperature. 6. Weber as unit of magnetic flux. 7. Candela as unit of luminous intensity. Derived units are new units derived from fundamental units. They are derived from combinations of fundamental units. Let us derive the unit of the following physical quantities together. 1. Area = length X breadth. Length is measured in metre so also is breadth. Area = m X m = m2. 2. Volume = length X breadth X height. Volume = m X m X m = m3. 3. Speed = distance/time. Distance is measured in metre while time is in second. Speed = metre/second = m/s. 4. Velocity = displacement/time. Displacement is measured in metre. Velocity = metre/time = m/s. 5. Density = mass/volume. Mass is measured in kilogram. Density = kilogram/metre3. Density = kg/m3. Fundamental and Derived Quantities. Fundamental quantities are the basic quantities that provide the standard units of measurement. They are; 1. Length. 2. Mass. 3. Time. 4. Temperature. 5. Current. 6. Magnetic flux. 7. Luminous intensity. Derived quantities are obtained from fundamental quantities. Examples include; 1. Charge = current X time. 2. Speed = distance/time. Dimension of physical quantity. Dimension of physical quantity simply means the way it is related, connected or associated to fundamental quantities. The dimensions are; 1. M - mass. 2. L - length. 3. T - time. 4. K - temperature. 5. A - current. 6. II - luminous intensity. Lets consider the dimension of some physical quantities together. 1. Speed = distance/time. The dimension of distance is m,...................opps, you are wrong, that's the unit, the dimension is L while the dimension of time is?..............................very good, T. Speed = L/T. 2. Velocity = displacement/time. The dimension of displacement is?...........................L, very good. Velocity = L/T. 3. Momentum = mass X velocity. The dimension of mass is? Very good, M. Momentum = ML/T. End of discussion for this topic, any question?[/b] Don't confuse unit with dimension, I do make the mistake. Get your game right. This is just the beginning of physics, the ride will be long and bumpy, before that, any question, suggestion, query, opinion, interjection? 3 Likes 1 Share |

[b]Good morning all, how are you finding the class? Lovely, I know. Lets continue with the discussion. Motion. Many scientists have studied motion and its properties because of its importance to life. The Italian, Galileo Galilei did the first systematic study of motion. Also, Sir Isaac Newton did more detailed work on the study of motion. Motion involves a change of position of a body with time. It also involves how things move and what makes them to move. It exists in different forms and occurs in solids, liquids, and gases. Motion is defined as the change of position of a body with time. Types of Motion. There are five types of motion, which are; translational rectilinear motion, random motion, oscillatory motion, rotational motion and relative motion. 1. Translational rectilinear motion; This type of motion occurs when an object moves in a fixed direction. When a body moves in a fixed direction, the body is said to be translated. Examples are; movement of a car from a point to another, human movement from a point to another: 2. Random motion; This sis a type of motion in which a body moves in a non-linear manner and changes direction continuously. Examples are; molecular movement in gases, dashing of objects in air eg feather thrown into air. 3. Oscillatory motion; This is a to and fro movement about a fixed point. It arises due to a slight displacement of an object from the initial position to a new position and back to the initial position. Examples are; simple pendulum, vibration of plucked guitar strings. 4. Rotational motion; This is the movement of a body in a rotational manner about its axis. Examples are; rotation of electric fan blades, movement of car wheels. 5. Relative motion; Is the movement of object in relation to another body. A car travelling on a road side is said to be in motion with respect to the poles and the trees on the road side. Examples are; pulling on a spinal spring, bending a ruler on a beam.[/b] 1 Like |

[b]Causes of Motion. Force causes motion. When force is applied on any object, it causes change. Force is a vector quantity denoted by F and measured in Newton(N). Types of Force. There are two types of force, which are the contact force and force field. 1. Contact force; This exists when there is a touch, hold or a contact with the object in question. It is further divided into like force or push, unlike force or pull and fictional force or viscous. 2. Force field; This exists in or is confined/restricted to a given region or space, i.e., a region in space where a body experiences the effect of a force which occurs as a result of the influence of some physical agencies. It is further divide into; magnetic force, gravitational force and electric force. a. Magnetic force; This is a force that attracts magnetic substance eg nails. b. Gravitational force; This is a force that attracts or pulls objects irrespective of their masses towards the centre of the Earth's surface. c. Electric force; This is a force that keeps current through a conductor of electricity.[/b] 2 Likes |

[b]Circular Motion. Circular motion is a motion in a circular path in which the speed of the body remains constant while its direction continuously changes eg the Earth moving round the sun, a racing car moving round a circular track. The velocity of a body undergoing circular motion is given by; v = wr where v is linear velocity (m/s) w is angular velocity (rad/sec) r is radius (m). The acceleration is given by; a = vw, or a = (wr)w = w2r, or a = v(v/r) = v2/r. Centripetal force. This is the force required to keep object moving in a circular path. Mathematically; f = ma f = mvw, or f = mv2/r, or f = mw2r. Where f is force (N) m is mass (kg) a is acceleration (m/s2). Example; An object of mass 4kg moves in a circle at radius 8m at unformed speed of 32m/s. Calculate; (a) the angular velocity (b) the centripetal force. Solution; m = 4kg r = 8m v = 32m/s. (a) v =wr w = v/r w = 32/8 w = 4rad/sec. (b) f = mw2r. F = 4 X 4 X 4 X 8 f = 512N. Any question?[/b]. 3 Likes |

[b]Good morning all. Elasticity. Elasticity is the ability of a material to regain its original shape or size after deformation. Deformation is elastic if the wire returns to its original position, while it is plastic if it does not return to its original position. Terms used in elasticity. 1. Elastic limit; Elastic limit is the maximum load (force) which a body can experience and still retain its original size/shape. It can also be defined as the point which Hooke's law is no longer obeyed. 2. Yield point; Yield point is reached when a stretched wire does not return to its original position. 3. Maximum load; When a load is added to a wire that it cannot stand any further increase, it is called maximum load. 4. Breaking point; Breaking point is the point at which the wire breaks away from the original. Hooke's law. It states that the force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension produced, provided the proportionality limit is not exceeded. Mathematically; F ~ E F = KE where K is constant (N/m). Example; The extension on a spring when 5g was hung from it was 0.56cm. If Hooke's law is obeyed, what is the extension caused by a load of 20g. Solution; F1=5g E1=0.56cm F2=20g E2=x F1/E1=F2/E2. 5/0.56 = 20/x 5x = 0.56 X 20 x = 2.24cm[/b] 1 Like 1 Share |

[b]Strength of Material. 1. Tensile/Compressive stress; This is the ratio of load/force to its area. It is measured in N/m2. Mathematically; Stress = force/area. 2. Tensile/Compressive strain; Is the ratio of extension to original length. It has no unit. Mathematically; Strain = extension/length. 3. Young modules; This is the ratio of stress to strain. It is denoted by E and measured in N/m2. Mathematically; E = stress/strain = (F/A) / (E/L) E = (F/A) X (L/E) = FL/AE. 4. Force/elastic constant or stiffness; This is the amount of force that causes a unit extension of an elastic material or the ratio of force to extension of an elastic. It is denoted by K, measured in N/m. Mathematically; K = F/e. Example; A load of 20N on a wire of cross sectional area 8X10-7m2 produces an extension of 10-4m. Calculate young modulus for the material of the wire if its length is 3m. Solution; F = 20N A = 8X10-7m2 e = 10-4m L = 3m stress = F/A = (20)/(8X10-7 stress = 2.5X107N/m2.

Energy Stored in an Elastic Wire. The workdone is when a force causes an extension in the length of a unit wire. Workdone = average force X distance. Workdone = (f/2) X e. Workdone = Fe/2, or Recall that, F = ke. Therefore; Workdone = ke2/2. Where k is force/elastic constant or stiffness (N/m). Example; Find the workdone when a force is applied on a string resulting to an extension of 20m if the spring has a stiffness of 500N/m. Solution; workdone = 100000J. 1 Like |

Classwork. 1. A wire of length 5m and diameter 2mm extends by 0.25mm when a force of 50N was used to stretch it from its end. Calculate (a) strain (b) stress in the wire. (Hint; unit and area of circle). 2. A spiral spring of a spring balance is 25cm long when it is 10N. What is the length of the spring in 0.5kg, assuming Hooke's law is obeyed?(g=10m/s2)(Hint; F=w=mg). 3. A spring of force constant 1500N/m is acted upon by a constant force of 45N. Calculate the potential energy stored in the spring. (Hint; h=e, f=mg). |
