What is hookes law

A

the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to it

36
Q

hookes law equation

A

force = spring constant x extension

37
Q

What is terminal velocity

A

The max speed at which an object falls (downward force)

38
Q

WHat is the pressure equation

A

pressure = force / area

39
Q

an object that is at rest = at rest an object that is in motion = stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalenced force

40
Q

Whats newtons second law

A

acceleration of an object is proportional to the resultant force acting on the object and inversely proportinal to the mass of object

41
Q

whats newtons third law

A

when 2 objects interact the forces they exert on one another are equal and oppisite

42
Q

What are the units used to measure acceleration

A

m/s squared

43
Q

What is the equation for acceleration

A

acceleration = change in speed/time

44
Q

pressure of a liquid equation

A

pressure = height of column x density liquid x GFS

45
Q

What is the equation for force

A

force = mass x acceleration

46

momentum = mass x velocity

48
Q

equation for calculating the size of a moment if a force

A

moment = force x perpendicular distance from pivot
