science (phys) Flashcards
what are the disadvantages of having a windmill
takes up a lot of space and costs a lot of money
what is the equation for distance
distance=speed/time
what is the equation for speed
speed=distance/time
what is the equation for time
times=distance/speed
what are the 8 energy stores
gravity elastic electrostatic nuclear magnetic chemical thermal kinetic
what are the 4 energy transfers
electrical, thermal , mechanical, radiation
what is newtons 1st law of motion
we can’t ‘lose’ or ‘gain’ energy: Energy can be transferred usefully, stored but cannot be created or destroyed.
what is newtons 2nd law of motion
Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the force acting on it, and inversely proportional to its mass.
what is newtons 3rd law of motion
when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude
does light travel in straight lines and bounces of walls
YES
