Chap Flashcards
Different types of waves
Pulling force Frictional force
Pushing force Weight force
Air resistance force Electrical force
Applied force Magnetic force
Gravitational force Normal force (reaction force)
Tension force
How do particles gain energy to move around?
From heat(kinetic energy)
How does diffusion happen?
When particles move from an area of high concentration to low concentration, they diffuse.
G force
Gravitational force
Transverse waves
Waves that travel in a swaying line
How does light move?
In longitudinal waves
What is the protective layer on the front of you eye?
The cornea
What goes right at the back of your eye?
The retina
What sends the images from the eye to the brain
The optical nerve
Contact force
A contact force is any force that requires contact to occur.Pushing a car up a hill or kicking a ball or pushing a desk across a room are some of the everyday examples where contact forces are at work.
Non-contact force
A non-contact force is a force which acts on an object without coming physically in contact with it. The most familiar example of a non-contact force is gravity, which confers weight. In contrast a contact force is a force applied to a body by another body that is in contact with it.
Force diagram
In physics and engineering, a free body diagram is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, movements, and resulting reactions on a body in a given condition. They depict a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body.
Interaction pairs
These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton’s third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton’s third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.
Newtons
Newtons are a unit to help measure strength or tension.
Newton metre
A Newton metre is a utensil used to measure Newtons.
