Physics Flashcards
Gravity
9.8m/s2=32.2ft/s2
Force=
Mass x acceleration
Weight=
Mass x gravity
What is a vector
Both magnitude and direction
1atm = how many torr and mmHG
760
Torr=mmHG
1atm = how many psi?
14.7
Doubling the diameter of syringe you decrease pressure by a factor of?
4
Work=
Force x displacement
State functions
Volume, pressure, or temperature
Measurable quantity about matter as it does nothing
Energy
Capacity for doing work
Cannot be lost but converted
Calorie vs calorie
Calorie = 1,000 calories
Calorie is kilocalorie
Joule
Standard unit of energy
Law of conservation of energy
The amount of energy is constant and is constantly being converted from one form to another.
Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but only converted to other kinds of energy
Internal energy
Sim of all ke and pé of the particles comprising the system
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
Temp of A=B
B=C
Therefore A=C and no heat will flow between
First law of thermodynamics
A Change in the internal energy of a system is equal to the sum of the heat flow of the system and the work by/on the system
Endothermic
Energy flows into the system
Exothermic
Energy flows out of system
Expansion
Work done by the system
Compression
Work done on the system
Second law of thermodynamics
Thermal contact heat flows from hot body to cold body
Third law of thermodynamics
It is not possible to lower the temp of an object to absolute zero
There is always some energy in object
Temperature is
Measurement of the tendency to gain or lose heat
Heat is
Energy which can be transferred
