Q

I needed a scalar quantity like work, how would i multiple the vectors?

A

by the dot product-
A(dot)B=abs(A)*abs(B) cos theta
the two vectors of interest would be force and displacement

Q

If I need a third vector like torque, how would i multiple the org. vectors?

A

by cross product-
A x B=abs(A)*abs(B) sin theta
the two vectors of interest would be force an lever arm

Q

displacement vs distance

A

Distance- scalar quantity of the total distance traveled b the object

Q

what is the relationship between instantaneous speed and velocity?

A

they are equal when considering the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity ( measure of the avg velocity as the change in time approaches zero)

Q

What do you need to consider when calculating the static friction vector?

A

the coefficent of static fiction, the normal force on the object, and that friction always opposes an object’s motion
-stationary objects might not be experiencing a maximal static force of friction

Q

when does kinetic friction come into play?

A

when an object begins sliding
a rolling object only means static
its also a constant value that depends on the coefficient of kinetic friction and the normal force but static can be from 0 to maximum

16
Q

When no force is applied the velocity is…?

A

Constant, no force means no acceleration so the object must be at constant velocity

17
Q

what can velocity vs time graphs tell you about acceleration?

A

a positive slope will tell you there is acceleration

a negative slope will tell you there is decelleration

18
Q

What is the law of inertia?

A

first law-mass will be at rest or in motion at a constant velocity until a net force acts upon it

19
Q

what is a move generalized way to look at the law of inertia?

A

second law-a net force must act upon an object for it to accelerate

20
Q

Why do the moon and the earth have a balanced gravitational force on each other?

A

third law- for every application of force on an object, the object will apply an equal and opposite force back on the first

21
Q

When air resistance is not negligible what happens to an object in free-fall

A

it will reach terminal velocity because the drag force from the air will eventually reach the same magnitude as the weight of the object and it will fall at a constant velocity.

22
Q

What are four equations that relate acceleration, velocity and/or position? (regarding one dimensional motion)

A

v=v_0+at
x=v_0+(a
t^2/2)
v^2=v_0^2+2ax
x=v_constant*t

23
Q

what relationships will you use to help solve projectile motion and inclined plane problems?

A

SOHCAHTOA

you’ll need to know the angle of trajectory or the angle of the inclined plane

24
Q

why would an object discontinue motion in a circular path?

A

it exits when the centripetal force no longer acts upon it allowing the object to continue in a path tangential to the the circle at that point.

25
centripetal force eqn
F_c=(mv^2)/r
26
What basic concept can be useful when drawing free body diagrams?
breaking the forces into force components (trig) and then summing the ones in the same direction
27
to solve problems relating to translational equilibrium what concepts must you remember?
free-body diagrams and newtons three laws
28
What is torque
moment of force is generated by the application of force at some distance form the fulcrum ~t=r x F= r*Fsin theta -~t= clockwise +~t= counter clockwise
29
How to lift a heavy object with a lever
place the object close to the fulcrum and made the your downward force distance from the fulcrum much longer than the fulcrum distance to the object
