Forces Flashcards
What do vectors have
Magnitude and direction
What quantity is force
Vector
Examples of vector quantities
Force, velocity, displacement, acceleration, momentum
Scalar quantities
Speed, distance, mass, temperature, time
Contact force examples
Friction, air resistance, tension in ropes, normal contact force
Non contact force examples
Magnetic force, gravational force, electrostatic force
What are mass and weight
Directional proportional
Weight equation
Weight(N)=mass(kg) x gravtional field strength (N/kg)
Gravitational field strength=9.8
What happens when a resultant force moves an object
Energy is transferred and work is done on the object
Work done equation
Work Done(J)=force(N) x distance(M)
Force equation
Force(N)=spring constant(N/M) x extension(M)
Elastic potential energy equation
Ee= 1/2 x K(spring constant)(N/M) x extension(M)
Moment of a force equation
M= F(force) x distance(M)
What is acceleration proportional to
Result force
Resultant force equation (x)
F= m(mass)(kg) x a(acceleration)(m/s)
