Density=
= mass/volume Kg/m ²
Weight=
“the force of gravity on mass” weight = mass x g g=9.81 on earth F=ma
Area=
=m²
Pressure=
=Force / Area units are P or Pascals or N/m²
The simple Machine (6)
1) Wedge 2) Pully 3) Screw 4) Lever 5) Inclined plane 6) Wheel/axle
Energy Types (5)
1) Electric 2) Chemical 3) Thermal 4) Nuclear 5) Mechanical
Work=
=force x distance W=F x d unit is Joule or J or N x m
Force=
= Mass x acceleration F=ma unit is Newton or N or Kg x m/s²
Power=
=Work x time P=W x T units are Watts or W or J/s
Acceleration=
= v2-v1/t2-t1 m/s²
Mass metric units are
Kg
Mechanical Advantage=
=Fo/Fi
Efficency=
=Wi/Wo
Gravitational Potential Energy=
= weight x height
Kinetic Energy=
=mass x velocity²/2 “energy of motion”
Hydraulic Pressure=
Pressure is applied to fluid in all directions equally
Fluid=
Substance with no fixed shape
Fluids move from
High pressure to low
Machines work by
Changing the force to distance ratio
Friction
A force opposing motion
Inertia
matter resists change in motion
Motion
change in position over time
Frame of Reference
Background point assumed to be stationary to compare motion
Three ways forces act
Push, Pull, Change directiion
