What does the principle of conservation of momentum state?
That in an isolated system the momentum is conserved
32
m1*v1+m2*v2=?
0 Conservation of momentum
33
Why is the recoil of earth when a man jumps infinitely small?

38
Electrostatic force=? F=?
K* (q1*q2)/r^2 q are the charges K is constant (9*10^9)
39
What is uniform circular motion?
The motion of a material point that moves on a circumference with a constant tangential velocity
40
What changes from point to point in uniform circular motion?
The direction of the velocity (which is tangent to the trajectory)
41
Centripetal acceleration=? ac=?
v^2/r
42
What is a restoring force (shm)?
Acceleration directed towards the center of oscillation and proportional to the distance
43
When is a force doing work?
When it acts on a body so that there is a displacement of the point of application in the direction of the force
44
Symbol for work
L
45
L=? (Work)
F*s=F*s*cos(theta)
46
If the angle of work is acute what kind of work is it?
Positive (motor)
47
If the angle of work is obtuse what kind of work is it?
Negative (resistant)
48
If the angle of work is right what kind of work is it?
None, L=0
49
What is the SI unit of work?
Joule
50
What are 2 practical units of work?
Electronvolt (eV) Kilogram-meter
51
5 forms of energy
Kinetic Gravitational Electric potential Thermal Chemical
52
What are work and energy in relation to each other? and what does that imply?
They are homogenous quantities which means they have the same unit of measurement
53
Formula for kinetic energy (Ec)
Ec=1/2*m*v^2
54
What is the variation of the body's kinetic energy equal to?
The work done by the force F that set it in motion
55
What does work indicate?
A transfer of energy from one form to another
56
What is a force field?
Area of space where a force acts in each point
57
What are the forces and fields defined as if the nature of the forces is such that work doesn't depend on the trajectory?
Conservative
58
What is the work done along a closed trajectory if the forces are conservative?
=0
59
W=? (work done on object)
Change in kinetic energy
60
What is the change in kinetic energy in a conservative field?
Zero as the work done is also zero
61
What is the work done along a closed trajectory in dissipative forces?
Not null, the work depends on the path taken from start to end point
62
What is potenital energy denoted by?
