Q

How to get positive acceleration

A

Change in magnitude and direction are both positive. An object speeding up.
The change in magnitude and direction are both negative. An object is slowing down.

26
Force
Is a push or a pull on an object. N
27
Newtons first law
An object will stay at rest unless acted upon by unbalenced forces. Objects in motion remain in motion unless they are acted upon by unbalenced forces.
28
Work
Whenever a force is moving an object work, is done. Is a scalar quantity.
29
For work to be done
1. There must be movement 2. There must be a force 3. The force and distance must be in the same direction.
30
Energy
The ability to do work. Transfers work to the object.
31
Kenetic energy
Ep and stands for an object in motion with energy
32
Gravitation potential energy
Is the energy something has due to being still or its position.
33
Mass
How much matter is in an object. Scalar.
34
Weight
How much force is holding it to earth. Vector.
35
System
A set of interconnected parts.
36
Open system
Lets matter and energy escape. The earth
37
Closed system
Lets energy escape but matter cannot. Closed can of soup
38
Isolated system
Cannot allow matter or energy escape. Thermos.
39
Energy of a system can be increased
1. Heat can be added 2. Work can be done
40
Energy of a system can be decreased
1. Heat can leave 2. Work can be done by the system on something else.
41
First law of therodyodmics
Energy cannot be created or destroyed only transferred. The total energy in a system stays constant because its surroundings stay constant.
42
The perfect machine
Would convert all energy into mechanical energy. No energy lost.
43
Second law of thermodyamics
Heat always flows from hot to cold. Ice cube melting on a hand.
44
Law of conservation of energy
Mechanical energy in a system remains constant.
45
What happens before an object falls to the ground.
The Ek becomes the same as the oringial Ep
46
Conservation of energy in a pendelum
When a pendelium is lifted a certain height work has been done and it has gained energy.
47
Efficiency
The purpose of a machine is to convert energy
48
Energy input
The energy source.
49
Useful work output
The work the machine is supposed to do.
50
All the vector quantity
Displacement Velosoity Weight Acceleration Position time graphs
51
Elastic poitential energy
When you change their shape they automaticly spring back.
52
Examples of elastic potiential energy
Springs Elastics Diving boards
53
Chemical poitential energy
Stored in chemical bonds of compounds
54
Chemical poitnetal energy examples
Batterys Food that is chemically in cells Burning fossil fuels
55
Combustion
The burning of fuel
56
Nuclear Energy
Potential energy stored inside the nucleus. Whenever a nucleus is split or two necloulis are combined
57
Nuclear fusion
Combine
58
Nuclear fission
Split
59
Solar Energy
Energy from the sun. Is a reaction of hydrogen and hydrogen fusion. The reaction releases energy
60
Electrical Energy
Is the work done by charges
61
Electrical potential energy
Work needed to move a charge
62
Internal combustion engines
Fuel goes into the cylinder and combustion happens Gases are created to fuel the pistion
63
Enviromental effects of combustion engines are
Greenhouse gasses Smog Acid rain
64
Production of electricity
coal, heat, boiled water, stream, turns turbine connected to genertor
65
Nuclear energy reaction process
Nuclear fission, heat, boiled water, stream, turns turbine connected to genertor
