Physics class 1 Flashcards
What is the value of g (gravity)
10 m/s2
What is the value for Pwater (density of water) in both kg and g
1000 kg/m3
1 g/cm3
what is the value for e (elementary electric charge)
1.6 x 10^-19 C
What is the value for K0 (Coulomb’s constant)
9x10^9 Nm^2/C^2
What is the speed of light in vacuum (c)
3 x 10^8 m/s
What is I0 (threshold for hearing)
10^-12 W/m^2
What is the difference between free fall and uniform accelerated motion?
in free fall the only acceleration is gravity (10m/s^2
What is newtons first law?
The law of inertia, an object in motion will stay in motin and will only change when net force is applied.
This holds true for anything moving at constant velocity
What is mass in relation to interia?
it is the resistance to acceleration
what is neurons second law?
Fnet = ma
applied net force causes a change in motion
Does mass change depending on gravity?
NO, weight changes, mass is mass, always the same
What is newtons third law?
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
in terms of Force
What helps distinguish whether you should you newtons second or third law?
The third law applies to only PAIRs of objects. The acting force and reacting force each act on different objects. Think of billiards
