Physics || P14 - P15 Flashcards
Density Formula?
Density =
Mass
———
Volume
Thermal Energy Formula?
In Book
Thermal Energy =
Mass x Specific Latent Heat
Q
M L
K is?
Spring Constant
L is?
Specific Latent Heat
Spring Constant Formula?
Spring Constant (K) =
Force (F)
———
Extension (X),
Force measured in Newtons and extension measured in Meters,
Spring constant measured in N/m.
Link Between Force and Extension?
Larger force is needed to cause a bigger extension,
More work needed to be done to cause a larger extension,
The force is gravitational force.
How To Find Word Done Or Energy Stored On A Graph?
You calculate the area under the linear section of your force-extension graph,
Do this up to the value of force given.
Linear Means?
Straight line,
We see this on a graph of force-extension before the elastic limit.
Elastic Limit?
This is the point the spring can be stretched to,
If you stretch it past this point, the spring will not return to its original state,
This means the work done is equal to the energy in the ELASTIC POTENTIAL ENERGY STORE.
Spring Constant?
Force needed to produce an extension of 1 metre,
Symbol is K.
Specific Heat Capacity?
Amount of energy needed to increase temperature of 1kg of substance by 1 degree.
Specific Latent Heat?
Amount of energy to make 1kg of substance change state.
Triangle Means?
Change In
How Is A Stiffer Spring Shown On Graph?
A steeper line.
How Is A Rubber Band Shown On. A Graph?
Linear then curves right and then curves upward.
