Q

What are Newtons Laws?

A
  1. A body either at rest or in motion with constant velocity will remain that way unless a net force acts upon it
  2. A net force applied to a body of mass will result in that body undergoing acceleration in the same direction as the net force, if no net force then no acceleration (FNET = ma)
  3. If body A exerts a force F on body B then B exerts a force -F back on A that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction

Q

How can you know if a force is conservative or not?

A
  • If the work done to move a particle in any round trip is 0 the force is conservation
  • If the work needed to move a particle between 2 points is the same regardless of the path taken, then the force is conservative

Q

What are non conservative forces and what are some examples?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Non conservative forces cause energy to be transferred to another form such as heat
  • Friction, air resistance, and viscosity are examples
25
In a pulley system, what is the load, load distance, effort and effort distance?
The weight of the object being lifted is the load and the distance it rises is the load distance. The force exerted on the rope when lifting the load is known as the effort and distance which the effort is exerted is the effort distance
26
What is the equation for efficiency for pulleys?
Efficiency = work out/ work in Efficiency = load (load distance) / effort (effort distance)
27
What is the equation for momentum?
P=mv
28
What is the equation for impulse?
Change in momentum J= ft = mv- mvo
29
What is a completely inelastic collision?
One where the colliding bodies stick together after the collision with a combined mass and there is only 1 final velocity of the two objects
30
What is a completely elastic collision?
Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved
31
What is thermodynamics?
The study of heat and its effects
32
What is temperature?
A measure of the internal energy of the object
33
What is the equation for thermal expansion?
DeltaL= a Lo DeltaT A is coefficient of linear expansion Lo is the original length Delta L is change in length And Delta T is change in temperature
34
What is the equation for volume expansion?
DeltaV= B Vo DeltaT Delta T is change in temp Vo is original volume Delta V is change in volume B is coefficient equal to 3a
35
What is heat defined as and what units are used for heat?
Can be defined as the energy transferred between 2 objects as a result of a difference in temperature Units are Cal, cal or Joules
36
What are the types of heat transfer?
Conduction: Direct transfer of energy from molecule to molecule through molecular collisions Convection: Transfer of heat by the physical motion of the heated material, only can take place in fluids (liquids and gases) Radiation: Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves and is the only method that allows transfer of heat through a vacuum
37
What is the equation for specific heat?
Q= Mc Delta T M is mass C is constant Delta T is change in temperature Q is heat gained or lost by an object

Pg = P- Patm
51
What does Pascals principle state?
Principle states that a change in the pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the containing vessel
52
What is Archimedes principle?
Principle states that a body wholly or partially immersed in a fluid will be buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid that it displaces
53
What are the 2 types of forces that the molecules of a liquid experience?
Adhesion: Attractive force that molecules of liquid feel for some other substances Cohesion: Attractive force that a molecule of liquid feels toward the other molecules of liquid
54
What is hydrodynamics?

What is viscosity and what is the unit for viscosity?
- Measure of the internal friction of a fluid | - SI Unit: N s /m ^2
57
What is Young’s Modulus?
The elasticity of a solid is characterized by a factor called a modulus. The force applied to a cross sectional area is defined as stress and the change in length normalized to the start length of material is known as strain
