General shit Flashcards
What is inextensible
Acceleration of masses is the same
What is light
Tension is the same throughout the length of the string and the mas of the string is negligible
Newton’s 1st Law
A body stays at rest or maintains a constant velocity unless a resultant force acts on the body
Newton’s 2nd Law
The overall resultant force (Fnet) acting on a body is equal to the mass of the body multiplied by the body’s acceleration F=MA
Newton’s 3rd Law
For two bodies, A and B, in contact with each other, the force exerted by A on B is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction the force exerted by A on B
How do you model a objecy
As a particle, therefore the size is negligible
Where does forces act on a object
All forces act at the centre of mass and so do not have any spinning effect
Friction
It acts against motion
Tention
Is pulling force, prevents two objects moving apart
Normal Reaction
Is when a particle is in contact with a surface. It is always at 90 degrees to the surface
How to get from radians to degrees
X * 180/pi
How do you switch between displacement, velocity and acceleration graphs
Displacement -> Velocity -> Acceleration Differentiation
Acceleration -> Velocity -> Displacement Integration
Formula for trapezium stips intergration
1/2 (width) (first height + 2(second height + …) + last height)
How to say the new hypothesis is rejected
There is insufficient evidence, so we fail to reject the old hypothesis
How to say the new hypothesis is accepted
There is sufficient evidence to accept the new hypothesis
What is R (set of numbers)
Real numbers - can be given a value -1, 0, 2.332, e, pi..
What is Q (set of numbers)
Rational numbers, fractions can be negative
What is Z (set of numbers)
Integers, negative has to be a whole number
What is N (set of numbers)
A number that is positive and whole
Regression what is it called when it is outside the data
Extrapolation - Unreliable collected data
Regression what is it called when it is in data
Interpolation - Fairly reliable as the line is a good fit too data
Regression what is it called when it is above the data
Extrapolation - Unreliable no data is collected here
