6.0 Further Mechanics And Thermal Physics Flashcards
(11 cards)
Define angular speed
The rate of change of angular displacement
Define damping
Effect of a resistive force that reduces the energy of a system, causing the amplitude to decrease
Effect of underdamping on period and frequency
the period increases slightly , but the frequency decreases.
effects of light damping on resonance
Produces a sharp resonance peak with large amplitude
effects of overdamping on resonance
Reduces the amplitude and broadens the resonance peak
What is continuous flow
When a substance flows steadily and is continuously heated or cooled
Define Boyle’s law
Pressure is inversely proportional to volume for a fixed temperature and mass
Define Charles’ law
Volume is proportional to temperature for a fixed pressure and mass
Define the Pressure law
Pressure is proportional to temperature for a fixed volume and mass
Define Brownian motion
The random, erratic movement of particles
Define sensible heat
The energy required to heat up a substance without changing its state
