laws Flashcards
1st law of thermodynamics
energy cannot be created or destroyed
2nd law of thermodynamics
heat is transferred from one body to another body
only if the two bodies are at different temperatures,
the heat flows from the body at the highest temperature to the body at the lowest temperature
3rd law of thermodynamics
the entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero
newtons first law
an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it
newtons 2nd law
the force on an object is = to its mass x its acceleration
newtons 3rd law
when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction
coulombs law
the closer two charges are the stronger the force between them
ohms law
the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions, such as temperature, remain constant.
voltage formula
voltage = curret x resistace
hookes law
the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied to the spring:
force = spring constant x extension
