Sophie Howlett, Ashley López, Marta Barreda - Gravitational Motion, Rotational Motion, work, Energy. Flashcards
What is the definition of work?
a force applied through a displacement.
Newton’s law of gravitation applies to
All bodies irrespective of their size
What is the equation for Work?
W=Fd cos 0
What is gravitational force defined as?
Is the force in which attraction between two objects must be proportional to the objects’ masses
Law of gravitation gives the gravitational force between…
Any two bodies having some mass
What is the formula for average angular velocity?
The angular displacement divided by the time required to make the rotation.
What is the main useful energy transfer that happens in cars?
Chemical to kinetic
What are the units for energy?
Joules
What is the formula for average angular acceleration?
the change in angular velocity divided by the time required to make that change.
What is a torque?
is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis (force x lever arm)
What is the formula for torque?
Torque = r x F
where r = the displacement vector, F = the force vector
Problem 1 (Work): If the hockey player exerted twice as much force (9.00 N) on the puck over the same distance, how would the amount of work the stick did on the puck be affected?
Doubling the force will also double the work, which both will double kinetic energy as well, to 1.35 Joules.
A box of groceries requires five newtons of force to lift it one meter to the counter. How many joules of work is done?
5 Joules
Work is the quantity of ____________ used to move an object
energy
A box weighing 4N is lifted 3 m. The work is done on the box is ____ joules
The potential energy the box possesses at the top is ____joules
