MCAS Flashcards
What is Newton’s first law?
Objects in motion stay moving in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force, and objects at rest stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force
What is Newton’s second law?
Net force = mass x acceleration
What is Newton’s third law?
For every action, there is am equal and opposite reaction
What is thermal energy a measure of?
The movement of particles
What Is impluse?
Force x time.
What is impulse equal to?
Change in momentum, or mass(v2-v1).
What is simple harmonic motion?
Any kind of regular back and forth motion.
What is the equation for momentum?
P=mv
What is kinetic energy?
Energy due to motion
What is potential energy?
Stored energy
Elastic potential energy
When an object is stretched and returns to its original shape
Thermal energy
Random motion of molecules
What is the difference between thermal energy and sound energy?
Thermal is the random movement of molecules, sound is the orderly movement of molecules
Chemical energy
Energy stored in molecules
Electric energy
Movement of charged particles
