Chapter 6 Work, Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy

The potential energy U(r) also has units of joules in the SI system. When our physics problems involve forces for which we can have a potential energy function, we usually think about the change in potential energy of the objects rather than the work done by these forces. However for non–conservative forces, we must directly calculate

Chapter 1 Units and Vectors: Tools for Physics

If two vectors are perpendicular then their scalar product is zero. The vector product (or cross product) of vectors a and b is a vector c whose mag-nitude is given by c = absinφ (1.9) where φ is the smallest angle between a and b. The direction of c is perpendicular to the

Chapter 3 Static Equilibrium

Chapter 3 Static Equilibrium 3.1 The Important Stuff In this chapter we study a special case of the dynamics of rigid objects covered in the last two chapters. It is the (very important!) special case where the center of mass of the object has no motion and the object is not rotating. 3.1.1 Conditions for Equilibrium of a Rigid Object

Chapter 4 Forces I 4.1 The Important Stuff 4.1.1 Newton’s First Law With Newton’s Laws we begin the study of how motion occurs in the real world. The study of the causes of motion is called dynamics, or mechanics. The relation between force and acceleration was given by Isaac Newton in his three laws of motion, which form the

2.2 A pn Heterojunction Diode Consider a junction of a p-doped semiconductor (semiconductor 1) with an n-doped semiconductor (semiconductor 2). The two semiconductors are not necessarily the same, e.g. 1 could be AlGaAs and 2 could be GaAs.We assume that 1 has a wider band gap than 2. The band diagrams of 1 and 2 by themselves are shown below.
