Physics Flashcards
Acceleration
Anything other than uniform motion (vector gravity)
Velocity?
V = D/T
Force?
F = ma
Work?
W =fd
Speed
How fast something is travelling without consideration direction or movement
Scaler
Only consider quantity magnitude or size
Vector
Magnitude and direction
Displacement
How far an object is from where it started and in which direction
Distance
How far an object has travelled from its reference point
Force (N)
A push or a pull on an object
1st law of motion
This unbalanced force will result in an acceleration of the object
2nd law of motion
An acceleration of an object will vary directly with the applied unbalanced force and invesely with the objects mass
3rd law of motion
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Potential energy
Ep =
Stored energy
=mgh
Energy =
Joules
