Accelera'on
Theory Lesson 1 part 1

Our natural state in rota'on

transla'onal iner'a is
resistance to change in
movement

Change in mo'on is accelera'on

No accelera'on
(Equilibrium)

Rota'onal iner'a is
resistance to change in
rota'on
Acceleration

Drag force, D is experienced when there is

rela've movement of object and uid it is in

Drag, D increases as
cross sectional area increases
Velocity of object

Velocity of object

Shape of object aects magnitude of D

D increases as velocity increases

Velocity of object

Velocity of object

Drag, D of a plane is at an angle

Chkpt 2a: Rank D in increasing order

A:
spherical object of mass 2 kg, diameter 10 cm, falling at 0.7 m s1

Chkpt 2b: Direc'on of FNET

Object is thrown in air.
At a particular instant it moves at 45

B:
spherical object of mass 5 kg, diameter 10 cm, falling at 0.3 m s1

Greater iner'a means harder to change

Accelera'on is change
Transla'onal accelera'on caused by net force
Rota'onal accelera'on caused by net torque

- Drag force occurs if there is rela've mo'on between object

and uid
- Drag force direc'on depends on shape of object, usually has a
dominant component is direc'on opposing mo'on
