phys 2 easy Flashcards
what happens to waves when they enter a denser material?
slow down and bend
what force keeps objects in orbit?
gravitational attraction
satellite
something that orbits something else
stopping distance
thinknig distance+ breaking distance
thinknig distance
time travelled between seeing hazard and hitting brakes
breaking distance
distance travelled in time between hitting brakes and stopping
fluid
substance with no fixed shape which yield weasily to external pressure. gas or liquid.
force increased on current carrying wire
increase current
increase magnetic flux ddensity
increase length of wire in field
electromagnet
solenoid with iron core
solenoid magnetic field strengthened
increasing current
increasing turns
adding iron core
velocity
speed in given direction
displacement
distance travelled in given direction
acceleration
how velocity of an object is changing
magnetic field
area around a magnet where it can act on another magnet or magnetic material
permanent magnet
produces own magnetic field. can attract and repel.
induced magnet.
becomes magnetic when placed in magnetic field. only attract.
centre of mass
point at which object’s mass can be thought of as being concentrated.
newtons 3rd law
whenever 2 objects interact, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other
newtons 2nd law
force=massxacceleration
absolute zero
no kinetic energy=0K=273 degrees celcius
moment
turning force around a point
increase size of moment
increase size of applied force
increasing distance of applied force from pivot
pivot
point about which rotation will take place
newtons 1st law
an object remains in the same state of motion unless a resultant force acts on it.
concave lens
)(
convex lens
()
speed of light
300000000m/s
specular reflection
smoot surface. organised so image can be formed.
diffuse reflection
rough surface. disorganised so image cannot be formed.
p waves
longitudinal and faster
s waves
transverse and slower
speed of sound
330m/s in air
sound waves
longitudinal
transverse waves
oscillate perpendicular
longitudinal waves
osscilate parallel
