Unit 1 (Exam 9/19/17) Flashcards
(40 cards)
Vector
A Magnitude with a direction ( 75 MPH East)
Scalars
A Magnitude (75 Mph) (Time, Temperature, Speed)
magnitude
Quantity; a number
Velocity
Rate of change of position
Pythagorean Theorem
a^2 +b^2=c^2
When vectors are parallel, you just
add them
If vectors are not parallel, to solve, you just
break them into components
Forces
Push or pull on an object that may or may not change the motion of an object
Fg
Force due to gravitational field (mass * gravity)
FG
Universal Force between any two masses
Friction
A force that opposes motion or the possibility of motion
FN
Normal Force
Fp
Push/Pull
F-el
Elastic/Spring Force- A force due to an object that will change its shape or length
Hooke’s Law
F-el= KΔX
K=Spring constant (in Newtons/Meter)
ΔX=Stretch/compression of spring
FB
Buoyant Force- Force due to the displacement of fluid
FT
Tension=Force due to a rigid object (Ropes)
FN
Normal Force= Force due to surface to surface contact and it is oriented perpendicular to the surface
Acceleration is
A result of a force
What are the 8 Mechanical Forces?
Tension Bouyancy Normal Gravitational Push/Pull Friction Elastic/Spring
What are the three conditions to consider when evaluating a problem
Static equilibrium
Dynamic Equilibrium
Accelerated Motion
Newton’s first law of motion
An Object will maintain its condition unless an outside force acts on it
Static Equilibrium
No Motion
Dynamic Equilibrium
Motion that is constant (Balanced Forces)
