Motion, Energy And Gravity. Ch 4 Flashcards
(30 cards)
Spaceship in space is an example of what
Newtons 1st law. An object moves at constant velocity unless a net force acts to change its speed or direction
Newtons 1st law
An object moves at constant velocity if there is no net force acting upon it. Objects at rest (velocity=0) tend to stay at rest
Acceleration must be in the ? Direction as the force
Same
Force equals mass times acceleration
Newton’s 2nd law. Or force equals rate of change in momentum
Baseball pitcher, car going around a curve, planet going around Sun
Newton’s 2nd law
For any force there is always an equal and opposite reaction force
Newton’s 3rd law.
Objects always attract each other through gravity
A rocket engine generates a force that drives hot gas out the back which creates an equal and opposite force that propels the rocket forward.
Newtons 3rd law
The .? Of the car tell Jim how far it will go in a certain amount of time
Speed
100 km/h going due north
Velocity. Speed and direction.
If velocity is changing in anyway whether in speed or direction or both
Acceleration
Mass times velocity
Momentum
The only way to change objects momentum is to apply
A force to it
The amount of matter in your body
Mass
Depends on both your mass and the gravity acting on your mass
Weight
Astronauts are weightless the entire time they orbit Earth because
They are in a constant state of freefall
an objects momentum cannot change unless the object transfers momentum to or from other objects
Conservation of momentum.
planets rotations and orbit ? change unless the planet transfers angular momentum to another object. Our planets do NOT exchange substantial angular momentum with each other or anything else
cConservation of angular momentum. CAN NOT
Energy is always
Conserved.
Three types of energy
kinetic, radiative, potential
Kinetic energy (motion)
falling rocks, orbiting planets, molecules in air
Thermal depends on temp, density of particles,
Radiative energy
all light carries energy. Light can cause changes in matter.
Potential energy
stored energy. can be converted to other two types of energy.
Joule. the standard unit of energy in science
A. Gravitational potential energy
B. Mass energy mass itself is a form of potential energy (Einstein)
three types of orbital paths
Ellipses
Bound orbits over and over again
unbound orbits paths that bring object close to another object just once.
Newton showed 3 kinds of orbits
Ellipses
parablolas
hyperbolas
Think of cone sliced up. extends Keplers third law.
