Hegner Flashcards
It takes about twice as much force to stretch a spring twice as far.
Hooke’s Law
A ____ force always pushes or pulls the object towards the equilibrium position
restoring
The ____ indicates how often a periodical process is repeated in one second.
frequency
The maximum distance of the object from its equilibrium position.
Amplitude
When dealing with a spring, the force ____ with distance, so the average is half the maximum value.
increases linearly
The maximum displacement of a vibrating object.
Amplitude
A ____ is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy.
wave
____ waves have a propagation direction.
Plane
____ waves propagate radial.
Spherical
____ waves: Excitation longitudinal to the propagation direction
Transversal
____ wave: transversal wave, the excitation vector has a constant direction
Polarized
The external force exerted on an object per its unit surface area.
Stress
A material is said to be ____ if it deforms under
stress, but then returns to its original shape when the stress is removed.
elastic
This type of deformation is reversible.
Elastic deformation
Measures the change of shape of an object subject to stress
Strain
The stretching force per unit area
Tensile Stress
(tensile stress) / (tensile strain)
Young’s modulus
____ stress causes compression or expansion strain
Hydraulic
Amount of energy before material fracture
Toughness
Ability to absorb energy during elastic deformation
Resilience
The net force that the fluid exerts on either face of the plate acts ____ to the face.
perpendicular
Density is defined as
mass / volume
Any pressure applied to a confined fluid will be transmitted undiminished to all parts of the fluid
Pascal’s principle
Pressure is defined as
Force / unit Area
Gas experiments where the temperature is constant.
Isothermal
Gas experiments where the pressure is constant.
isobaric
0th Law of Thermodynamics
In a thermal equilibrium, every part of the system has the same temperature.
The Ideal Gas Law
PV = nRT
Pressure * Volume = # moles * Temperature * R = 8.314 J/(K mol)
The sum of the partial pressures of all the component gases is the same as the total pressure of the gas mixture.
Dalton’s Law
