Q

classical physics

A

developed in ancient times with aristotle

mid 19 century with Isaac newton and Michael Faraday

Acquired knowledege was developed taking as one of the main sources of information some of the senses (sight, hearing, touch)

Q

classic (mechanistic or Newtonian) model

A

science focused on the search for the mechanical cause of observable phenomena (17,18,19 century)

22
Q

modern model

A

primodiral concept the probability that matter has certain behavior at a microscopic level (20 century)

23
Q

great contrubtion of galileo

A

use the measurements for the analysis of the phenomena, introduced the mathematical language

24
Q

how galileo measured time

A

with a system of dripping water

25
physical magnitudes are classified as
fundamental and derived
26
fundamental physical magnitude
do not depend on any other physical magnitude and are measured directly
27
fundamental physical quantities
``` length mass time temperature amount of substance luminous intensity current intensity ```
28
derived physical magnitudes
formed by the combination of two or more fundamnetall physical quantities
29
derived physical quantities
``` area volume speed acceleration force work power ```
30
unit of measurement of length
metre (M)
31
unit of measurement of mass
kilogram (kg)
32
unit of measurement of time
second (S)
33
unit of measurement of temperature
kelvin (K)
34
unit of measurement of amount of substance
Mole (Mol)
35
unit of measurement of luminous intensity
candle (Cd)
36
unit of measurement of current intensity
Ampere (A)
37
physical quantity
the result of as measurement , quantifications of the properties that we want to measure.
38
systems of weights and measures
``` International system (SI) CGS system (system cegesimal) english system ```
39
the study of the types of movement that a body can have and its mathematical description
kinematic
40
change in position in the space and through time
movement
41
the space traveled by the body during the change of position
distance
42
it is the movement to move from one place to another
displacement
43
the realtionship that is stablish between the space or the distance that travel an object an the time it invests in ot
speed-rapidity
44
change in speed of a body during its movement
acceleration
45
property of all bodies to resist changes in their state
mass
46
every agent capable of producing a change in the movement of a body
force
47
in the force with wich the earth attracts a body due to the action of gravity
weight
48
length measuring objects
ruler tape measure flexometer nonio (known as caliper)
49
mass measurement instruments
roman scale arms | electronic scale
50
instruments for measuring time
``` shadow cast (ancient) sun (ancient) mechanical clock digital chronometer atomic clock ```
