    1. Velocity is the displacement of an object over time. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. 2. Density is the mass of an object per unit volume. Inertia is an object's resistance to changes in its motion. 3. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. Force is the product of mass and acceleration, or the rate of change of momentum over time.

    Math 151 BASIC PHYSICS

    The distance an object moves or its displacement is s, the time it takes to move is t.
    The volume of an object, how much space it occupies is V.
    s
    v= .
    The velocity (speed) of movement is displacement per time, t
    v s
    a = = 2.
    The acceleration of movement is the time rate of velocity, t t Using

    dv d2 s
    a = = 2 ,
    calculus, dt dt the derivative of velocity or the second derivative of
    displacement.
    The mass of an object, m is the measure of the amount of matter within an object,
    regardless of gravity. Mass is not the same as weight; weight is mass multiplied by the
    acceleration due to gravity, which means that the weight of an object varies directly with
    its mass.
    m
    δ = .
    The density of an object is its mass per volume, V
    The inertia is the tendency of an object in motion to remain in motion, or an object at
    rest to remain at rest, unless acted upon by a force. This is Newton’s first law of motion.
    Momentum is the quantity of motion, defined as mass multiplied by velocity, p = mv .
    Force is defined as mass multiplied by acceleration, or F = ma if acceleration is
    constant and there is only one acting force in the same direction as the acceleration.

    v mv p
    F = ma = m = = ,
    Also t t t so force the time rate of momentum. In vector

    form, F = m a . If there is more than one force, then F is considered to be the net
    force or sum of all vector forces. This is Newton’s second law of motion. If the only
    force acting on an object is that due to gravity, then an object’s weight is equal to the
    force required to move it. Strength is usually measured by how much weight a person
    can move. Since it takes a force equal to the weight (if friction is ignored) to displace
    the weight, then strength equals force. Using calculus,
    dv d dp
    F = ma = m = ( mv ) = ,
    dt dt dt so force is the derivative of momentum.
    For variable mass, taking special relativity into consideration, the law of resultant force
    can be put in terms of acceleration as follows:

    d dv dm dv 1 d ( F⋅s ) dv 1 ds dv F⋅v
    F NET =
    dt
    ( mv ) = m
    dt
    +
    dt
    v = m
    dt
    + 2
    c dt
    v = m
    dt
    + 2 F⋅ v = m
    c dt dt
    + 2 v
    c ( )
    dv F⋅v
    ⇒ m = F - 2 v
    dt c which shows that although the change in momentum is in the
    direction of the force, in general the acceleration of the mass is not in the direction of
    the force. However, when the speed of the moving body is close to c (speed of light),

    the equation above reduces asymptotically to F = m a.


    Work is defined as force multiplied by displacement. It is the energy transferred by
    force. If the force is constant and in the same direction as the displacement, then the

    work done to move the force a distance of s is given as W = Fs . In vector form

    W = F⋅s = ‖F‖‖s‖ cos θ, where θ is the angle between force and displacement. If
    the force is at a right angle to displacement, then work is zero. If the angle is greater

    than 90 ° the work is negative. From calculus, we know that the displacement of an
    1 2
    object subject to only one force is s = 2
    at + v 0 t, where
    v 0 is the initial velocity. If
    1 2
    initial velocity is zero, then s = 2
    at . This gives us

    Power is defined as the time rate at which work is done or energy is transferred,

    t t t Power is simply force multiplied by velocity, or strength
    multiplied by speed.
