一个抛射体(projectile)在重力下自由运动,所以它有向下的匀加速(constant acceleration)$g$ 且没有水平加速度。把水平和竖直运动分开处理。若它以速率 $u$、角 $\alpha$ 被发射:

例题。 一个球以 $u = 20\ \text{m s}^{-1}$、与水平成 $30^\circ$ 被抛出。求射程和最大高度。
Launch a projectile
Fire the ball, then change the angle and speed. The horizontal motion is steady while gravity pulls it down — together they trace a parabola. Find the angle for the longest range, and try the Moon.

大纲
| Candidates should be able to: | Notes and examples |

| • determine the position of the centre of mass of a composite body by considering an equivalent system of particles | Simple cases only, e.g. a uniform L-shaped lamina, or a uniform cone joined at its base to a uniform hemisphere of the same radius. |
| • use the principle that if a rigid body is in equilibrium under the action of coplanar forces then the vector sum of the forces is zero and the sum of the moments of the forces about any point is zero, and the converse of this | |

一个力关于一个点的力矩(moment)是力 $\times$ 垂直距离;它测量转动效果。一个物体的重力作用在它的质心(centre of mass),对一个均匀的平面形状(一个薄片(lamina))你能用对称(symmetry)找到它,或通过把一个复合物体当作一组质点找到它。
一个刚体在共面力(coplanar forces)下,当两个条件都成立时处于平衡(equilibrium):力的向量和为零,而关于任何点的力矩之和为零。一个物体也可能在翻倒(toppling)或滑动(sliding)的边缘。

例题。 一根长 $4\ \text{m}$、重 $100\ \text{N}$ 的均匀梁 $AB$ 放在 $A$ 处的一个支点上。$B$ 处一个竖直力 $F$ 使它保持水平。求 $F$。
关于 $A$ 取力矩(重力作用在中心,距 $A$ $2\ \text{m}$):

对一个在半径 $r$ 的圆中运动的质点,角速度(angular speed)$\omega$ 通过 $v = r\omega$ 与速率联系。加速度指向中心——向心加速度(centripetal acceleration)——大小为


在一个水平圆(horizontal circle)中速率是恒定的——如在一个圆锥摆(conical pendulum,一个质量在一根绳上摆动)中。在一个竖直圆(vertical circle)中用能量守恒,因为速率随高度改变;法向接触力(normal contact force)或绳张力提供向心力。
例题。 一个质点在一个半径 $2\ \text{m}$ 的水平圆中以角速度 $3\ \text{rad s}^{-1}$ 运动。求它的速率和加速度。
Angle in radians
Circular motion is measured in radians: drag the angle θ and radius r to see the arc swept — angular speed ω turns this into v = rω.

当力取决于位置 $x$ 时,用形式 $a = v\dfrac{dv}{dx}$ 的加速度,它把牛顿定律变成一个联系 $v$ 和 $x$ 的微分方程(differential equation)。

例题。 一个质量 $8\ \text{kg}$ 的质点在一个大小为 $(x^3 + 4x)\ \text{N}$、沿运动方向作用的变力(variable force)下沿一条线运动。当 $x = 0$ 时,$v = 1$。求 $v$ 用 $x$ 表示。
牛顿定律给出 $8v\dfrac{dv}{dx} = x^3 + 4x$。分离并积分:

在一次碰撞中,总动量守恒——动量守恒(conservation of linear momentum)。弹性由牛顿实验定律(Newton's experimental law)测量,它定义恢复系数(coefficient of restitution)$e$:

例题。 一个质量 $2\ \text{kg}$、以 $5\ \text{m s}^{-1}$ 运动的球 $A$ 撞上一个静止的质量 $3\ \text{kg}$ 的球 $B$,$e = 0.5$。求之后的速率。
动量:$2(5) = 2v_A + 3v_B$,所以 $2v_A + 3v_B = 10$。恢复:$v_B - v_A = 0.5(5) = 2.5$。一起求解给出 $v_A = 0.5\ \text{m s}^{-1}$ 和 $v_B = 3.0\ \text{m s}^{-1}$。

考试技巧
- 对于抛射体,分解成水平(恒速)和竖直($a = g$)运动,由同一个时间联系。
- 对于一个平衡的刚体,关于一个移除一个未知力的点取力矩。
- 对于圆周运动,用 $F = mv^2/r = m\omega^2 r$ 朝中心;在一个竖直圆中检查顶部的最小速率。
- 用一个变力,用 $a = v\,\frac{dv}{dx}$ 并积分;弹性 PE $= \frac{\lambda x^2}{2L}$。
