Matter and Materials Flashcards
density=
mass/ volume
pressure=
force / area
Change in pressure liquid=
density x gravity x depth
spring constant=
force/ extension
strain=
extension / og length
stress=
normal force/ cross section area
stress
force at right angle to a surface per unit cross sect area
strain
extension per unit length
young modulus=
stress/ strain
elastic potential energy=
Final force/2 x extension
Archimedes’ principle
upthrust on a body = weight of the liquid/ gas it displaces
upthrust =
density x volume x gravity
pressure is a _____ quantity
scalar
pressure acts in
all directions at right angles
Young Modulus measured in
Giga Pascals
gradient of stress-strain graph=
(force-extension)
Yong modu
Elastic potential energy =
force/2 x extension
spring const/2 x extension squared
area under work-disance graph
units to always use
METRES!!
mm to m
divide by 1000
always remember
Check units used in graphs and question
when graph starts to bend
stops obeying hooke’s law
Surpassed limit of proportionality
when force-extension graph starts bending
stops obeying hookes law
limit of proportionality reached
gradient of force- extension graph
spring const
tensile forces
compressive forces
produce extension
remove length
