Energy/Momentum Flashcards
Work Equation
W = Fd x cos(theta)
Power Equation
P = W/t
Kinetic Energy Equation
K = mv^2/2
Potential Energy Equation
U = mgh
Pulley Equation
T1 + T2 = mg
Efficiency Equation
Eff = (Load x Load Distance)/(Effort x Effort Distance)
Momentum Equation
p = mv
Impulse Equation
J = mv - mvo
Elastic Collision Equation
m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f
Inelastic Collision Equation
m1v1i + m2v2i = (m1 + m2)vf
Thermal Expansion Equation
L = alpha x Lo x T
Volume Expansion Equation
V = beta x Vo x T
Conduction
Direct transfer of energy from molecule to molecule through molecular collisions, metals best conductors (touching a hot stove)
Convection
Transfer of heat by the physical motion of the heated material takes place in liquids and gases (pot of boiling water)
Radiation
Transfer of electromagnetic waves, only way to transfer heat through a vacuum (sun)
