Definitions,Symbols For Physical Quantity, And Formulas Needed Flashcards
Gravitational potential energy
The energy an object possesses due to its position relative to a reference point
Kinetic energy
The energy an object has a result to the objects motion
Law of conservation of energy
The total energy in a system cannot be created nor destroyed; only transformed from one form to another
Work
The product of the displacement and the component parallel to the displacement
Power
The rate at which work is done or the arts at which energy is transferred
Compound
Two or more different elements bonded together in a fixed ratio
The law of conservation of matter
States the matter cannot be created or destroyed, therefore, when we write a chemical equation we need to balance it
Current
The rate of flow of charge
Voltage/potential difference
Energy per unit coulomb of charge
Resistance
A material’s opposition to the flow of electric current
Ohm’s law
The current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across the conductor at a constant temperature
Force
F
Distance
x
Time
t
Work/energy
W
