Q

what does p_o stand for?

A

26
Q

when a pulley has mass, what happens to tension?

A

unlike in previous problems, the tensions are not the same (4/11 lecture example 4)

27
Q

when is torque zero?

A

> when there is no rotation
when the applied force is parallel to the radial line
at the pivot
when the applied force does not cause rotation

28
Q

in static equilibrium problems, what should you label on the picture?

A

forces applied on the beam/plank/table, pivot point, distances between the applied forces and the pivot (r from torque eq), and the center of masses

29
Q

what four things do you need to look for when solving for torque?

A
  1. distance between applied force and pivot (r)
  2. applied force of interest (F)
  3. angle between the applied force and the radial line (phi)
  4. positive/negative signs
30
Q

what are the units for torque?

A

Nm (newton meters)

31
Q

in static equilibrium problems, what forces do we care about?

A

only the ones that are exerted on the beam/plank/table

32
Q

what is the new type of energy we learned recently?

A

kinetic energy for a rolling object

33
Q

what is i-hat multiplied by i-hat?

A

zero

34
Q

what is j-hat multiplied by j-hat

A

zero

35
Q

what is the difference between the FBD of a box and the FBD of a pulley?

A

> FBD for box has an x and y axis
FBD for pulley is a drawing of the pulley with forces attached to it

36
Q

do you need to convert to SI units when solving for the center of mass?

A

no but you can

37
Q

do you need to convert to SI units when solving for the moment of inertia?

A

yes

38
Q

what does “d” stand for in the pressure for an open container equation?

A

depth/thickness of whatever liquid(s) is in the system

39
Q

when do you use bernoulli’s equation?

A

when there is a pipe that starts at the zero point (floor) and then reaches some new height (has an s-shape)

40
Q

in which case does liquid move faster?
a. in a 4cm diameter pipe
b. in a 10cm diameter pipe

A

a. in a 4cm diameter pipe
> a smaller diameter means there isn’t as much pressure and the liquid will move faster than in a pipe with a bigger diameter

41
Q

in which case does liquid move slower?
a. in a 20cm diameter pipe
b. in a 25cm diameter pipe

A

b. in a 25cm diameter pipe
> a bigger diameter means there is more pressure and the liquid will move slower than in a pipe with a smaller diameter

42
Q

what is buoyancy force?

A

tries to make an object float in fluid

43
Q

when is buoyancy force present?

A

whenever an object is in a liquid

44
Q

when an object’s weight is greater than the fluid it displaces, what does that mean for density? Will it sink or float up?

A

> the average density of the system is greater than the density of the fluid
the object will sink to the bottom

45
Q

when an object’s weight is less than the fluid it displaces, what does that mean for density? Will it sink or float up?

A

> the average density of the system is less than the density of the fluid
the object will float to the top

46
Q

when an objects weight is equal to the fluid that it displaces, what does that mean for density? Will it sink or float up?

A

> the average density of the system is equal to the density of the fluid
the object will hang in the middle without floating up or sinking

47
Q

when an objects weight is greater than the buoyancy force, will it sink or float?

A

the object will sink

48
Q

when an objects weight is less than the buoyancy force, will it sink or float?

A

the object will float to the top

49
Q

when an objects weight is equal to the buoyancy force, will it sink or float?

A

the object will hang in the middle without floating up or sinking

50
Q

how do you find the period (T) on a graph?

A

on a graph, the period is the horizontal distance between the two peaks along the time axis (distance between the max and min point of the curve)

51
Q

how do you find amplitude on a position vs. time graph?

A

look at the max/min points on the curve

52
Q

how do you find amplitude on a velocity vs. time graph?

A

use the max velocity equation
> v_max = (amplitude)(angular frequency)

53
Q

what two things does omega stand for?

A

angular frequency and angular velocity

54
Q

what does phi_o stand for?

A

phase constant

55
Q

when is the phase constant negative?

A

when velocity is positive

56
Q

when is the phase constant positive?

A

when velocity is negative

57
Q

when is mechanical energy converted to potential energy in simple harmonic motion?

A

at the amplitude (max/min position)

59
Q

when is mechanical energy converted to kinetic energy in simple harmonic motion?

A

at the zero position

60
Q

how do you convert degrees to radians?

A

calculator or multiply by pi/180 degrees
