Exam Review Flashcards
what is efficiency?
measures useful work done compared to the energy or work put into the machine
% efficiency= energy output-energy input X 100%
what is energy?
the ability to do work
what is work
the transfer or change or energy from one form to another
What is the first Right Hand Rule?
if the straight conductor is held in the right hand, the thumb points in the direction of the current and,the fingers curl in the direction of magnetic field lines
what is the second Right Hand Rule?
curl the fingers in the direction of the current, thumb points to the north pole.
what is the third Right Hand Rule?
Wrap your fingers around the wire in the direction of current flow through the wire. Your thumb represents the “North” direction of the induced magnetic field!
newtons 1st law
inertia, objects resist a change in motion. (object will continue at a stat of rest or at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force)
newtons 2nd law
if the external force is not zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force. magnitude is directly proportional to the net force and slightly proportional to the mass.
newtons 3rd law
for every action force, there is a simultanious reaction force (boat question)
what is kinetics?
the study of objects that move
what is scalar
has magnitude only
what are vectors?
has magnitude and direction
how to convert from km/h to m/s
divide by 3.6
how do distance/ time graphs work?
when stationary, the line is flat, the stepper the line, the faster someone is moving.
true or false? if the force acting on an object on a frictionless surface is doubled, its acceleration will also double
true
true or false? all forces require objects to be in contact and cannot act at a distance
