Chapter 2 Flashcards
First attempt at standardization of measures
1215
King John
Signed Magna Carta
Required that there be standard measures of wine, ale and wheat throughout the kingdom
English system of standardization
Foot-based off King’s foot
Pound for weight
Second for speed
Arbitrary system since based off the kings food
Metric system beginning
1799
French Academy
Standard for distance was one ten-millionth of the distance on the Earth’s surface b/w the equator and the North Pole at the longitude of Paris
Gram was also established as the mass of a cubic centimeter of water at 4 degrees Centigrade
Metric system
International system (SI) - French
MKS - meters, kilograms, seconds
Used everywhere except Great Britain and U.S.
Metric vs English system
Distance: m/ft
Volume: liters/cubic feet
Mass: kilograms/gallons, quarts, pints
Time: seconds
What is force?
A phenomenon that can produce a change in an object’s state of activity
The concept of push or pull
Unidirectional
Influence or effect of force on an object with mass
Causing a change in speed
Change in direction
Change in shape
How can force be identified and measured?
By the effect it has on an object
How are the movements of speech achieved?
By the management of forces
Examples of management of force on speech
Articulators and how they shape airflow to create phonemes
Force of airflow or managing airflow with articulators
What is speed
The relationship between distance and time
How far something travels over a period of time
Measured in miles per hour or km per hour
Speed of talking (speech rate) in syllables per minute
Magnitude of velocity
velocity
Velocity also indicates direction
Velocity has direction and magnitude (speeding up and slowing down)
Velocity is a vector - direction and magnitude
The speed of an object based on the magnitude of its velocity (v) is…
related to directionality
The rate of change of position based on a scale
What is uniform motion
Speed of an object is unchanging
When it is constant in a single direction
Foundation of Newton’s 1st law
What is acceleration?
The CHANGE in velocity as a function of time
Based on speeding up or slowing down (change in velocity is negative) AND based on direction
When velocity changes there will be acceleration
What do you need for Changes in velocity
Look at:
Combined force
Directionality
What is momentum?
the product of mass and velocity of an object
Has a magnitude and direction
Mass times velocity - kg-m/s
The greater the velocity, given a constant mass, the greater the momentum
Momentum describes…
The quality of an objects motion in terms of
How much mass
How fast (velocity) - speed and direction
What is vibration
Back and forth movement - oscillation
Measured by distance and speed of a waveform
Sir Isaac Newton
Father of modern science of mechanics
Born Jan 4, 1643, died March 31, 1727
What is the first law of motion
An object will remain in a state of rest or uniform motion (constant velocity) unless it is acted upon by an outside force
What is an outside force?
An unbalanced force as compared to constant velocity or net force
Causes a change in motion or velocity
Law of inertia
Often referred to as first law of motion
Tendency of an object to resist change in its state of motion
Inert means lacking the ability to move
Second law of motion
When a net force (unbalanced force) acts on an object, the object accelerates in the same direction as the force that acts on it, inversely proportional to the mass of the object
The larger the force, the greater the acceleration ,and the larger the mass, the smaller the acceleration
Law of acceleration
