Mnemonic Master — Laws of Motion & Friction

by Notetube Official240 words4 views

Mnemonic 1: Newton's Three Laws — "ICE"

  • I = Inertia (First Law: no force → no change)
  • C = Change (Second Law: force causes change in momentum: F = ma)
  • E = Equal & Opposite (Third Law: FABF_{AB} = −FBAF_{BA} on different bodies)

Mnemonic 2: Friction Order — "SKR" (Static King, Kinetic Knight, Rolling Runt)

  • Static > Kinetic > Rolling: μ_s > μ_k >> μ_r
  • King is hardest to dethrone (hardest to start motion)
  • Knight is moderate (sliding is easier than starting)
  • Runt is weakest (rolling is easiest of all)

Mnemonic 3: Lift Problems — "UA = Add, DA = Subtract"

  • Upward Acceleration = Add a: W' = m(g + a)
  • Downward Acceleration = Subtract a: W' = m(g − a)
  • Free fall = Zero: W' = 0

Mnemonic 4: Action-Reaction Check — "DOBS" (Different Objects, Both Simultaneous)

  • True Newton Third Law pair: forces act on Different Objects, are Both present Simultaneously
  • If both forces are on the SAME object → NOT a Third Law pair

Mnemonic 5: Atwood Machine — "Difference over Sum"

  • Acceleration a = (Difference of weights) / (Sum of masses) × g
  • a = (m1m_{1}m2m_{2})g / (m1m_{1} + m2m_{2})

Mnemonic 6: Banking Formula — "Tan = v squared over rg"

  • tan θ = v2v^{2}/(rg)
  • Remember: "Tire's velocity squared over radius times gravity"
