Q

What is pressure proportional to and how in a cylinder column

A

p = f/a
p = mg/a
mass = pressure x volume
p = (ρV)g/a
height = volume / cross section area (v/a)
p = hρg
g and ρ are constant in a cylinder column, p is proportional to the height of the column

21
Q

What is work done and equation

A

W = Fx cos theta
Work done is the energy transfer from one to kinetic. One joule is the energy which one joule has moved an object one meter

22
Q

Formula for GPE and KE

A 
Ek = 1/2 mv^2
Ep = mgh
23
Q

What is power

A

Rate of work done, rate of energy transfer

24
Q

Power equation

A

P=W/t

25
Q

How does power relate to force

A

P = force x velocity

P=Fv

26
Q

Efficiency equation and what it is

A

Efficiency = useful energy / total energy
It is a ratio between useful and total energy input or output
Between 0 and 1

27
Q

Hooke law

A

The extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied

28
Q

Properties of plastic

A

Removal of force will not make object return to its original length

29
Q

Elastic properties

A

Removal of force makes it go back to its original shape

30
Q

Elastic potential equation

A

Ee = half Fx

31
Q

Elastic potential energy is proportional to what

A

extension squared
F=is
E=1/2 Fx
so E = 1/2 k x^2

32
Q

Brittle properties

A

No deformation before break, they don’t bend they just snap

33
Q

Ductile properties

A

Can be stretched and bent and thinned without breaking

34
Q

What is tensile stress

A

Same as pressure, force per unit cross sectional area

35
Q

What is tensile strain

A

Ratio of extension to the original length.symbol epsilon

36
Q

What is Young’s modulus

A

Ratio of tensile stress against strain E = stress / strain

37
Q

What happens at the elastic limit for brittle vs rubber?

A

Brittle it snaps

Rubber has no limit

38
Q

How can the spring equation be put used with the Young’s modulus

A

E = stress/strain
= (F/A)/(x/L) = Fl/Ax.
E = Fl/Ax, F = EAX/L
F = (EA/L)x, spring constant in F=kx is EA/L

39
Q

first law of motion

A

An object will remain at rest or continue to move with a constant velocity until a net resultant force acts upon it

40
Q

Third law of motion

A

Who two objects interact an equal and opposite force is always exerted, and a they are the same typr

41
Q

What is momentum

A

Product of mass and VELOCITY

42
Q

What is conservation of momentum

A

Closed system, total initial momentum is equal to the final momentum

43
Q

What is an elastic collision

A

Total KINETIC energy is equal after and before ( no transfer to other stores)

44
Q

Newton second law of motion

A

Net resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum and is in the same direction

45
Q

What is the force equation in terms of linear momentum and what is the requirement

A

for a constant mass object

F = Δp/Δt, = (mv-mu)/Δt = m((v-u)/t) = ma, F = ma

46
Q

What is the impulse of a force

A

The product of force and time, and in terms of Newton’s laws it’s the change in momentum (so just momentum units)

47
Q

What’s the area under force t graph

A

Force x time = impulse (Δp)

48
Q

Impulse equation

A

I = change in momentum

49
Q

Final velocity and average velocity formula

A

FINAL = 2 * AV
