physics whole unit) Flashcards
how do you calculate sig digits without zeros
you count how many numbers the’re are
how do you calculate sig digits with zeros in front?
you count after the zeros and they dont count as ones
how do you calculate sig digets with zeros after numbers / in between numbers
you would count all the numbers including the zeros
what is the formula for velocity
v= d/t
what is the formula for speed
s=d/t
what is the formula for time
t=d/v
how do you find distance
you add all the numbers together.
how do you find displacement
you add the numbers together and add negatives according to the compus rules
what is displacement
It is the length from the starting point to the ending point and you put the directions
what is distance
distance is the whole length
what is vector and examples of an vector
a vector is a scale that includes direction, for example 15m north
what does scaler mean
a scaler just states the size / amount
how do you calculate the average ———
1) determine if you need to swap units
2) find formula / enter numbers into formula
3) after finding the answer check if the sig digets are correct
what does uniform mean
it stands for the graph increasing in a straight line
what does non uniform mean
it means its not going up at the same pace
what does constant velocity on a position time graph look like
horizontal straight uniform increasing line
changing pace meaning
the pace is constantly changing
how do you find displacement on a graph
by first calculating the area of the square a=bh then the triangle a=bh/2 then adding them
what is the slope formula
slope= y2-y
———
x2-x
what are the two different graphs
distance time graph (scalar)
position time graph (vector)
When there are 2 distances in a acceleration question what formula would you use
You would take away final velocity from initial then divide it by time
potential energy formula
Ep=mgh
kinetic energy formula
EK=1/2mv^2
