Material Covered on Exam 2

Exam 2 will be held Wednesday, Oct. 16 during the normal lecture period. The exam will consist of a combination of multiple choice questions similar to the assigned homework. Notes are not allowed but calculators are allowed. Makeup exams will not be given, but an alternative assignment may be given instead in the event of a previously approved excuse or an approved emergency.


Chapter 3

Concepts:

Hookes' Law, elastic materials, bouncing, coefficient of restitution, circular motion, centripetal acceleration and force, static and dynamic stability

Equations:

Hooke's Law: Force = - spring constant x stretching: F = -kx

Bouncing: Coefficient of Restitution = speed of separation / speed of approach

Centripetal acceleration a = v2/r toward center.


Chapter 4

Concepts:

Air, fluids, pressure, density, number density, volume, absolute temperature, floating, Archimedes' principle, flowing fluids, Bernouli's principle

Equations:

Pressure = Force / Area

Pressure = density x g x height = ρ g h

Ideal Gas Law:
Pressure = Number density x Boltzmann's constant x absolute temperature = (N/V) k T
where there are N noninteracting gas particles in volume V, and k = 1.381 x 10-23 Pa m3/K is Boltzmann's constant.

Archimedes' Principle: The boyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.

Bernouli's Equation: P + ρgh + ρv2/2 is constant in an incompressible fluid in steady state flow.

The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal. 1 Pa = 1 N/m2. The atmospheric pressure is called 1 Atmosphere (1 Atm) and is about 105 Pa.

The SI unit of Temperature is the degree Kelvin or degree Celsius. Water freezes at 0C and boils at 100C. T(Kelvin) = T(Celsius) + 273 K. Absolute zero is 0 K = -273 C.
