PHYSICS 12 UNIT 1 DYNAMIC EXTENSION
Introduction
Dynamics is the study of the factors that cause change in speed, direction, and whey an object moves the way it does. This unit main focus is on motion of objects in one dimensional forces and with the application of Newtons laws. It also introduce s briefly the concept of collisions and momentum .
Curriculum Outcomes:
This unit continues the study of motion in Science 10. It leads student to more sophisticated concepts of energy and momentum that are necessary to study the interactions between masses. Further in unit 2will develop the two dimensional situation, uniform circular motion, and Keplers Laws.
Curriculum Outcomes:
Able to use Vector Analysis in two dimensions for systems involving two or more masses, relative motions, static equilibrium, and static torques(ACP-1). Use vectors to represent forces (325-5) To apply the law of conservation to one dimensional collision and explosion(326-3). To determine in which real-life situations involving elastic and inelastic interactions the law of conservation of momentum and energy are best used(326-4).

Momentum is a physics term; it refers to the quantity of motion that an Head-to-Tail Using Trigonometry
object has. A sports team that is on the move has the momentum. If an object is in motion (on the move) then it has momentum. Momentum can be defined as "mass in motion. All objects have mass; so if an object is moving , then it has momentum - it has its mass in motion. Momentum = mass velocity In physics, the symbol for the quantity momentum is the lower case "p". Thus, the above equation can be rewritten as p=mv
=
Change in momentum is a result of change in velocity.

What are Vectors? A vector is a quantity or phenomenon that has two independent properties: magnitude and direction. The term also denotes the mathematical or geometrical representation of such a quantity. Examples of vectors in nature are velocity, momentum, force, and weight. (Weight is the force produced by the acceleration of gravity acting on a mass.) What are Scalars? A quantity or phenomenon that exhibits magnitude only, with no specific direction, is called a scalar. Examples of scalars include speed, mass, time. Resultant Vector? The "resultant" is the description (magnitude and direction) of a single vector that would have the same effect as the two or more vectors have when they're all acting at the same time.
The momentum changes are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Five steps problem solving in Physics: 1. 2. 3. 4. Read the problem carefully and develop a mental picture of the physical situation. If needed, sketch a simple diagram of the physical situation to help visualize it. Identify the known and unknown quantities in an organized manner, often times record them on the diagram itself. Outline a strategy for solving for the unknown quantity; the strategy will typically center around the use of physics equations and understanding of physics principles. Identify the appropriate formula(s) to use, often times write them down.
5. Perform substitutions and algebraic manipulations in order to solve for the unknown quantity.

How to find the Resultant Vector?

Head-to-Tail Method
(Line up the vectors in a line from head to tail, maintaining their magnitude and direction. The resultant vector goes from the tail (start) of the first vector to the head of the last vector. Using Trig Functions Add together the X components of each vector, add together the Y components of each vector and use trigonometry to find the magnitude of the resultant vector.
