Weight
Mass x gravity
Define weight
Weight is the effect of a gravitational field on a mass
Density
Mass/volume
newtons 1st law
Objects will remain at rest, or move with a constant velocity unless acted on by a resultant force
newtons 2nd law
F = ma
What does the decreasing trend in extension graph mean
The spring has reached its elastic limit
Hooke’s law
Force = Spring constant x extension
F=kx
Moment
Moment = force x perpendicular distance to pivot
m=df
Momentum
Mass x velocity
p=mv
Conservation of Momentum
The total momentum before a collision = The total momentum after a collision
Impluse
impulse = force × change in time
impulse = FΔt
Δp = mv − mu
m = mass in kg
v = final velocity in m/s
u = initial velocity in m/s
