Document Summary
Static frictional force - overcome to get an object to begin moving. Kinetic fritional force - overcome to keep an object moving. The object may still be moving - constant velocity: non-equilibrium conditions, object(s) accelerating, net force not equal to zero. The only force acting on the satellite is gravity. To stay in contact with a loop at the top of the loop, normal force cannot be 0. Chapter 6: work and energy: work done by a constant force, energy. Energy is the ability to do work: work, depends on displacement and force, measured in joules, no displacement means no work done. In the equation for work, force is the component of the force along the direction of motion. Ke increases: linearly with mass, with the square of velocity. If an object isn"t moving staight along the vertical, need the displacement in y-direction to find wgrav: doesn"t depend on path taken, only on initial and final heights.
