Physics 1.7 - 1.9

Question 1

What is hookes law

Answer 1

Hooks law is a theory that states that for any given force applied on a spring, it’ll extend proportionally until an elasticity limit is reached

Question 2

What is hookes law formula

Answer 2

F = kx or F = ke where e and x are the extension and k is the spring constant

Question 3

What is a spring constant

Answer 3

A spring constant is the amount of newtons required to stretch a spring by one meter and is measured in n/m

Question 4

What is elastic deformation

Answer 4

Elastic deformation is when an object is deformed and returns to its original shape

Question 5

What is inelastic deformation

Answer 5

Inelastic deformation is when an object is deformed and does not return to it’s original shape

Question 6

What is a resultant force

Answer 6

A resultant force is a combination of multiple different forces which often dictates the direction of movement of an object

Question 7

All forces are?

Answer 7

Vectors

Question 8

What do we say about an object of which the resultant force is 0

Answer 8

The object is in equilibrium

Question 9

What is a scalar quantity

Answer 9

A scalar quantity is a quantity with only magnitude

Question 10

What is a vector quantity

Answer 10

A vector quantity is a quantity with both magnitude and direction

Question 11

Is momentum a vector?

Answer 11

Yes, momentum is a vector because, it is a force. All forces are vectors

Question 12

Is speed a vector?

Answer 12

Speed isn’t a vector because it only has a magnitude
