Physics ( forces) Flashcards
What’s the equation of weight
Weight=mass x gravitational field strength
What is weight proportional to
Mass and weight are directly proportional
What is the resultant force of an object
The overall force acting on an object in a direction
What’s the equation of work done
Work done= force x distance
Stretching, bending and compressing does what
Transfers energy
What’s the equation of force when relating to springs
Force= spring constant x extension
What’s the equation of elastic potential energy
Elastic potential energy= 1/2 x spring constant x extension’2
What’s a moment
The turning effect of a force
What’s the equation of the moment of force
Moment of force= force x distance
What’s fluid pressure
When particles in a fluid collide with the walls of a container. Exerting a force
What’s the equation of pressure
Force normal to surface
Pressure =————————————
Area of that surface
What does the pressure of a liquid depend on
Depth and density
What do objects in fluids experience
Upthrust. However if upthrust and weight = the same. The object floats
What’s speed
How fast your going but with no regard to direction
What’s velocity
How fast your going in a given direction
