20
Q

g=_____

A

acceleration due to gravity, 9.81 m/s^2

21

Fg=____

22
Q

Newtons 1st Law of Motion

A

In the absence of a net external force, an object in motion stays constant

23
Q

Newtons 2ns Law of Motion (discrete)

A

Sigma F vector = m * acceleration vector

24
Q

Newtons 2ns Law of Motion

A

Sigma F vector = m * acceleration vector

25
Newtons 2ns Law of Motion (continous)
Integral F vector = m * acceleration vector
26
What is acceleration
Change in objects motion (speeding up/down or turning)
27
28
29
Coupled Systems
2 or more objects are able to influence the motion of the others, they have the same acceleration
30
Work =
F1 * delta X ; (1/2)KX^2
31
Spring Force
Fs = -K * delta X ; Restorative
32
Joule
J = N * m = kg * (m/s)^2 = mv^2
33
Energy in =
+
34
Energy out =
-
35
Power
(delta W / delta t) / (delta E / delta t) / (J / s) = W(watt)
36
37
Gravity and Spring forces are...
conservative forces
38
conservative forces
work done by or against conservative forces do not depend on the actual path, but only the endpoint
39
ug
mg * delta y
40
us
1/2 kx^2
41
ki + ui + Wnc
kf + uf
42
Law of conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed but it can change forms
43
Potential Energy
u
44
W =
delta u (only true IF the force doing the work is conservative
