Basic physics (re) Flashcards
yayaya know ur symbol of units, use the book cuz we still want to learn a new technique
Okay
Describe scalar quantity?
Only magnitude e.g. temperature = 20 degrees celsius
Describe vector quantity?
Magnitude and direction e.g. velocity = 50 m/s East
How do u resolve vectors?
SoH Cah ToA
U wanna have the scalars and vectors? come and take it
(pg 6.)
okay
Equation for horizonal component?
x = Z Cos ()
Equation for vertical component?
y = Z Sin ()
How to resolve several coplanar vectors?
(4 steps)
- Resolve horizontal & vertical components
- Add up horizontal components & vertical components respectfully
- Calculate resultant using pythag’ theorem
- Find angle using trigonometry
1 tip for resolving several coplanar vectors?
- Consider force from other direction may be minused on the bigger force (also u can just do the minus during the calculation)
I mean this more like mental note yano
Whats the contact force on a banked slope?
And how to calculate it?
Well it’s on the right angle ig?
And u do w x cos
What’s the weight down slope on banked slope?
And how to calculate it?
Hypotenuse….
Also this one’s w x sin
How to find w? (weight)
= mg (Mass x Gravity)
Equation for p? (density)
= m/v (Mass/Volume)
Define C of Mass
The point where total mass of object can be treated as a single point
Define C of Gravity
Single point within a body at which entire weight of body may be considered to act
