Physics Flashcards
acceleration
rate at which velocity changes over time
Newton’s first, second, and third law
an object will remain at rest or at constant speed unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, F=ma, for every force there is an equal an opposite force
Inertia, mass, weight
a property that causes matter to resist changes in velocity, the amount of physical matter in a body, the force acting on objects due to gravity
net force, unbalanced forces, gravity, friction
the vector sum of forces acting on a body, a force that causes all things with mass or energy to be attracted to each other, resistance that occurs when two surfaces rub on each other
potential energy, kinetic energy with formulas
the energy possessed by an object because of its position relative to other objects, motion energy formulas: PE = mgh, KE = 1/2mv^2
9 types of energy
mechanical, thermal, nuclear, chemical, elastic, electromagnetic, gravitational, kinetic, sound
machine and types (6)
an object that receives an input amount of work and transfers the energy to an output amount of work. Types: inclined plane, wedge, pulley, lever, screw, wheel and axel
