What causes accelerations?
Forces
What is Newtons 2nd law of Motion?
F=ma
Force = mass x acceleration
What is Newtons 3rd law of Motion?
For every force there is another force equal size pointing in the opposite direction.
What are the principles of Motion?
Newtons 1st, 2nd, and 3rd law
What is momentum?
The quantity of motion.
MV=momentum
Mass x Velocity = momentum
What is a Newton?
A force measured kg x m/s^2
What is the difference between weight and mass?
Weight is the force of gravity. Mass is the quantity of matter.
What makes friction force?
Coefficient of friction (roughness) x Normal force (contact force)
What is sin?
Opposite/ hypotenuse
What is cosine?
Adjacent / hypotenuse
How do you find normal force?
You break down the y forces
Formula for the force of a spring. And what do the variables mean.
Fspring=K^X
Force of the spring = K (spring constant which means the “stiffness”) times the change of distance
K is measured [N]/[m]
What is published in 1689 and by who?
Newton publishes “principia”
What observations were made in Newtons “principia”?
1) Tides.
-the highest tides of the month have new moon/full moon
- highest rides of the year are during summer
2) Saturn and Jupiter have an equatorial bulge
-he predicts earth bulge
3) Explains earths precession
-by the two different sides of the earth using the equator
4) Edmond Halley
-predicts comet will return in spring 1758
-measuring in 1682
-must be the same comet seen in 1531 and 1607
What is a force applied over time?
Impulse
FT=impulse
What is a force applied over a distance?
Work
F🔺x=work
How do you find change in momentum?
MVf-MVi
Mass x Velocity(final) - Mass x Velocity(initial)
What is a measure of motion with no direction?
Kinetic energy
Formula for kinetic energy
1/2 mv^2
1/2 mass x velocity ^ 2
Textbook definition for energy
Ability to do work
Professor definition for energy
There is an equivalence between a specific quantity of motion and any arrangement of matter.
What does positive and negative mean with kinetic energy?
Positive means adding motion
Negative means removing motion
What is kinetic energy (final)?
Force of gravity times change in direction.
Energy is what?
Energy is conserved. It is never created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
