Lecture 5 Flashcards
what is the function of stokes equation
it can relate clay particle size to the speed of clay settling
what is the definition of turbid
carrying sediment or suspended particles
what does terminal velocity mean
the point where the speed of falling levels out
if it take a particle 4 times as long to settle what does that say about its radius
1/2 its size
does stokes equation work for turbid water
no
according to stokes equation which sinks faster a biigger or slower particle
bigger
what is the definition of force
the abilty to change an objects motion
what is the unit for force
newton
what are the units for velocity
meters per second
what are the unit for acceleration
meters per second squared
what are the unit for gravity
meters per second squared
how many g’s do you experience in a cuncussion
80-100
what are the units for pressure
pascal
what is newtons second law
force = mass * acceleration
what does density times volume equal
mass
