1D Kinematics tup = Attwood’s machine

vav = Range = ( )sin2θ Body1: T – m1g = m2a (up)

Body2: T – m2g = –m2a (down)
∆x = vav∆t
ttotal = 2( ) a=g
x = x0 + vav∆t
v= ymax = T = m1(g + a)
aav = Pulley on an inclined plane
…In the 0x direction
v = v0 + at
x = x0 + (v0cosθ)t a=g
x = x0 + (v+v0)t
x = x0 + v0t + at2 y = y0 + (v0sinθ)t – gt2
Pendulum-cart
v2 = v02 + 2a(x – x0) vy = v0sinθ – gt
tanθ =
Free fall Forces

v = v0 – gt ∑F = ma Friction
∑Fx = max
y = y0 + v0t – gt2 ∑Fy = may fs ≤ μsN
fsmax = μsN
y = y0 + (v+v0)t Fw = mg
F12 = –F21 fk = μkN
v2 = v02 + 2g(y – y0) μs = tanθc
N = F┴ + mg
T = –mg a = g(sinθ - μkcosθ)
Vectors Fa ∝ x
Fs = –kx
x = rcosθ T1 + T2 +T3 = 0 ∴
y = rsinθ T1x + T2x + T3x = 0
R=√ T1y + T2y + T3x = 0
θ = tan-1 N = –mgcosθ
A – B = Bhead  Ahead d=
a = gsinθ
Projectile motion
Multiple connected bodies
x = v0t
y = gt2 F – T = m1a
vy = gt T = m2a
v0x = v0cosθ F = (m1 + m2)a
v0y = v0sinθ a=
x = (v0cosθ)t
vy = v0sinθ – gt T=
vy2 = v0y2 – 2gy
y = (v0sinθ)t – gt2
