Q

Formula for the force of a spring. And what do the variables mean.

A

Fspring=K^X

Force of the spring = K (spring constant which means the “stiffness”) times the change of distance

K is measured [N]/[m]

Q

What observations were made in Newtons “principia”?

A

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

16
Q

What is a force applied over a distance?

A

Work

F🔺x=work

17
Q

How do you find change in momentum?

A

MVf-MVi

Mass x Velocity(final) - Mass x Velocity(initial)

18
Q

What is a measure of motion with no direction?

A

Kinetic energy

19
Q

Formula for kinetic energy

A

1/2 mv^2

1/2 mass x velocity ^ 2

20
Q

Textbook definition for energy

A

Ability to do work

21
Q

Professor definition for energy

A

There is an equivalence between a specific quantity of motion and any arrangement of matter.

22
Q

What does positive and negative mean with kinetic energy?

A

Positive means adding motion
Negative means removing motion

23
Q

What is kinetic energy (final)?

A

Force of gravity times change in direction.

24
Q

Energy is what?

A

Energy is conserved. It is never created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.

25
What is PEgravity?
Fgrav🔺x=ma(g)h Force of gravity times change in distance = mass times acceleration of gravity times height
26
What is PEfriction?
Ffriction🔺x=uN🔺x Force of friction times change in distance = coefficient of friction times Normal force times change in distance
27
What is PEspring?
Fspring🔺x=1/2K🔺x^2 Force of spring = 1/2 times K constant times change in distance squared
