Q

newtons 1st law

A

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)

Q

newtons 2nd law

A

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.

19
Q

what is an example of direct current?

A

something with a battery like a flashlight

20
Q

what is an example of indirect current?

A

something plugged in like a fan or a fridge

21

A

true

22
Q

true

23

A

fasle

24
Q

when is work negative?

A

when the applied force is in the opposite direction of the displacement

25
Q

how to convert kg to kN

A

1 kg = 101.7 kN

26
Q

what is the law of conservation of energy?

A

energy can neither be created nor destroyed

27
Q

what are standing waves?

A

waves dependent on frequency and the speed within the medium

28
Q

what is the doppler effect?

A

the Doppler effect is the change in frequency or wavelength which causes a changed precieved sound for someone outside of the object

29
Q

what are the laws of magnetic poles?

A

opposites attract, like repells, magnetic poles are strongest at the poles, north and south are equally strong, cut a megnet in twwo and recieve two smaller, weaker magnets,

30
Q

what way do magnetic field lines move outside of a magnet?

A

from north to south all the time and thats the truth.

31
Q

what is kirchoffs law for current

A

series - in a closed circuit, amount of current entering=amount leaving. I1=I2=I3…
parallel - I parallel= I1+I2+I3…

32
Q

waht is kirchoffs law for voltage?

A

v series= v1+v2+v3

v parallel= v1=v2=v3…

33
Q

how does the DC electric generator work?

A

theres a lot of coils with a soft iron core to make a strong magnetic field . its a split ring instead of a slip ring.

34
Q

how do objects become charged?

A

friction, contact, and induction

35
