Kinetics and Dynamics (CH1) Flashcards
What is the standard measurement for mass?
Kilograms or Kg
What is the standard measurement for currents?
ampere (coulumbs/second) or A
What is the standard measurement for temperature?
kelvins or K
What is the standard measurement for the luminous intensity?

Every object in a state of motion will remain in that state of motion unless an external force acts on it.
Newton’s First Law (Law of Inertia): F = MA = 0
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Newton’s Second Law
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newton’s Third Law (F = -F)
If an object’s motion is changing, as indicated by a change in velocity, then the object is experiencing what?
Acceleration
Torque is greatest when?
When perpendicular (90 degrees).
Physical quantities that can have both magnitude and direction.
Vectors
Physical quantities without direction.
Scalars
