1. s= mt+constant where m=Ds/Dt i.e., speed
When plotting distance (s) versus time (t) the slope is simply the speed (magnitude of the velocity). s Dt Ds t
s= mt+constant where m=Ds/Dt i.e., speed

2. What if the motion is more complicated than constant velocity
What if the motion is more complicated than constant velocity? How do we determine the instantaneous velocity then?
We can get closer to the instantaneous speed by making the path segment smaller and smaller… s t

3. Or we can get closer and closer by making Dt smaller and smaller…* Dt Ds * Dt t

4. making Dt smaller and smaller is “taking the limit”
We now call that “taking the derivative”

5. Now the integrals or inverse derivatives can be computed so we can start with the sum of all the forces acting on a body and figure it backward until we get to the position and velocity as a function of time.

6. We get these equations for constant acceleration motion
All from adding up all the forces acting on a body!

7. The angle measured by going completely around a circle is 360o
But that is pretty arbitrary – why not tie it to something that is meaningful?

8. Lets remember some high school geometry:q x
In most astronomical observations, the x or h lengths are large compared to the y size scale and in order to observe features of size y in an object the angular resolution (q) must be as small as possible.

9. If a function has continuous derivatives up to (n+1)th order, then this function can be expanded in the following fashion:
If the Rn term (remainder) converges to a value, this is the Taylor series expansion of the function f.

10. r s q r

11. Angular Momentum
angular momentum – the momentum involved in spinning /circling = massnvelocitynradius
torque – anything that can cause a change in an object’s angular momentum (twisting force) massnaccelerationnradius

12. v m r
a = v2/r
F = m v2/r

13. Who cares about momentum (mv)? Conservation of linear Momentum
In the absence of a net force, the total linear momentum of a system remains constant.
But this is just Newton’s first law!!
mv = constant

14. Conservation of Angular Momentum
In the absence of a net torque, the total angular momentum of a system remains constant.

15. Universal Law of Gravitation
Between every two objects there is an attractive force, the magnitude of which is directly proportional to the mass of each object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the objects.
