C/P MCAT 01 Flashcards
Any acceleration is the result of the sum of the forces acting on the object and its mass
Newton’s second law
Any two objects interacting with one another experience equal and opposite forces as a result of their interaction
Newton’s third law
In uniform circular motion, the only force acting on the object is the?
centripetal force, acting radially inward
In circular motion, where does the instantaneous velocity point?
tangentially
what stays constant in isothermal processes?
temperature
what stays constant in adiabatic processes?
there is no heat exchanged
what stays constant in isobaric processes?
pressure
what stays constant in isovolumetric or isochoric processes?
volume and the work done on or by the system is zero
pascal’s principle states that?
pressure applied to an incompressible fluid will be distributed undiminished throughout the entire volume of the fluid.
what effect shows that where fluid speed is greater and cross sectional area is small, pressure will be smaller?
venturi effect
absolute pressure is equal to?
atmospheric pressure plus gauge pressure
frequency of sound is dependent on only the
initial sound source and not medium
what is the opposite of ultrasound?
infrasound
