Q

What happens to sound wave as it travels? Eg circle…
E?
I?

A

Energy remains the same at all d from source of sound, neglecting air resistance.

25
Speed of light, f and wavelength. Equation?
Frequency x wavelength = speed of light, c | c = 3x10^8
26
maximum velocity
occurs when acc=0, cannot possible go any faster
27
terminal velocity
will always involve a drag force in terms of velocity
28
kWh
kilowatt hour - this is a unit of E bc Watt = E/t so Watthour = Et/t = E
29
normal force at the top of a loop?
normal force is always pointing away from the surface from which an object is touching on a loop. when the object is at the top of the look, the normal force is pointing downward
30
signal to noise ratio
signal should be high, noise should be low | 100:1 is way better than 1:1
31
E field strength at distance r
E = kq/r2
32
man jumps off deck and throws ball directly out at same time. which lands first?
land at same time. | even though ball has horizontal v, the ball and man's acc due to gravity is the same
33
vf2 =
vf2 = vi2 + 2ax
34
vf =
vf = vi + at
35
deltax =
x = vit + 1/2at2
36
beats
difference in frequencies arriving at a point | creates constructive and destructive interference
37
torque
t = rfsina
38
E of a wave =
E = hf where h is Planck's const. and f is freq | remember v=f x wavelength
39
sound waves travel fastest through what medium?
solid, liq then gas
40
can sound waves be longitudinal?
no not usually longitudinal waves are like seismic waves standing = transverse = harmonic waves are sound
41
does light have sound freq and period? | does sound?
yes and yes. Both are waves
42
what kind of wave is sound? Meaning what about the medium displacement?
longitudinal, meaning medium is displaced in the direction of the wave
43
what kind of wave is light? Meaning what about displacement?
light is transverse, meaning displacement is perp to wave
44
light travels fastest through what medium?
air, liq, solid (glass etc)
45
what waves experience diffraction
all waves, sound and light
46
E in a spring?
E = kx2
47
V = | in a circuit
``` V = iR V = P/i V = CQ ```
48
capacitance eq
``` C = A/d where A is area of plates, d is distance between C = Q/V ```
49
heat of vaporization
amount of heat required to change the state of a substance
50
relationship between static and dynamic friction coefficients
dynamic is always less than static. This makes sense, as the coeff for static should be way higher to keep the object completely stationary. It harder to over come friction from a stand still than from a moving position
51
Gravity Eq. F =
F = Gm1m2/r2
52
torque T =
t=rfsina | a is between r and F
53
Circ motion Fc = ac =
Fc = mv2/r ac = v2/r
54
Pulley W input = W output = efficiency =
W in = effort x effort distance W out = load x loadx effic = out/in
55
Circuits and Power | P =
P = iV P = i2R P = V2/R
56
Electrostatics | E =
E = F/q E = V/d
57
electrostatics F
F = kq1q2/r2
58
Electric potential V =
V = kq/r V = W/q Va - Vb = Wab/q
59
Electric potential E, U =
U = W = qV U = kqQ/r
60
Pressure P
P = P0 + dgh where P0 is pressure at the surface and d = density P = F/A (think spike heels)
61
Magnetic field B loop straight
B = ui/2r at the center of a Loop where u = mew naut B = ui/2pir (think you have to take into account the roundness of the wire)
62
Magnetic F
F = qvBsina F = iLB sina
63
thermal expansion
inc in T solid will expand | change in L = aLchangeinT where a is alpha and change in is delta
64
Volume expansion
as T inc, liq expands ^V = BetaV^T where ^=delta
65
Specific heat Heat gain and loss
``` Q = mc^T c = specific heat of substance Q = heat gain/loss ```
66
Heat of transformation
Phase change Q = mL
67
concave with object at focal point: real or virtual? | upright or inverted
real and inverted also true for anything further than focal pt
68
convex with object at focal?
virtual and upright also tru for anything further than focal pt
69
elastic collisions | what is conserved?
kinetic E
70
inelastic collisions - is Kinetic E conserved?
no, can be converted to other forms of E
71
what is heat of transformation? Equation? what kind of process is this?
amount of heat required to change the phase of 1 kg of a substance Q = mL isothermal! like changing from ice to water at 0C
72
what is the area underneath a P vs V graph?
it is the work done in a system
73
what is the law of thermodynamics? Equation? What happens adiabatic? constant V? closed cycle?
DeltaU = Q - W Q is heat lost or gained, W is work, U is energy in system Adiabatic, no change in heat, Q = 0 Constant v, piston isn't moving, W = 0 closed, U = 0
74
in any thermodynamic process that shifts eq, what will happen to S?
it will either increase or remain the same
75
a positive charge will move in what direction of the E field?
the same direction
76
a neg charge will move in what direction of the E field?
opposite of E
77
what is electric potential energy, U?
the amount of energy needed to move a charged particle from infinity to a point U = qV = qEd = kq1Q/r
78
dipole moment p = does it feel a force?
p = qd no force, but does experience torque which causes it to rotate to align with E field
79
Electric Potential, V = what is the unit?
V = W/q the amount of work required to move a pos test charge to infinity to point. Work per charge Unit is volts!
80
What is potential difference?
VOLTAGE! when 2 oppositely charged plates are separated by distance, d, a potential difference exists between them, V = Ed = W/q = kQ/r
81
Fbuoy = | Archimedes' principle
Fbuoy = p(fluid)gV(submerged) and Weight, W = pVg, so it makes sense that Fbuoy = W The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.

float when the weight of the displaced fluid is greater than the object or equal to it sink if the displaced fluid is less than the weight of the object

current is flow of e charge direction is the direction that pos charge would flow...from high to low potential
