Week 8 Flashcards
When balanced forces act on an object it will either?
Remain stationary
Continue with a constant velocity
When an __________ force acts on an object it will _________.
Unbalanced
Accelerate
What energy is known as kinetic energy?
The energy of a moving object
Equation for kinetic energy?
KE = ½ mv²
KE = kinetic energy (J) m = mass (kg) v = velocity (m/s)
What energy is known as gravitational potential energy?
The energy of an object above ground.
Equation for gravitational potential energy?
GPE = mgh
GPE = gravitational potential energy (J) m = mass (kg) h = height (m)
What two things are the same concept?
Energy and work
When is work done?
When energy is transferred to an object.
Symbol for momentum?
ρ
Any object with a ____ and ________ has momentum.
Mass
Velocity
Momentum is the product of ?
Mass and velocity
Equation for momentum?
ρ = m × v (mv)
ρ = momentum (kg × m/s or kg.m.s -¹) m = mass (kg) v = velocity (m/s)
What happens when objects hit each other?
Momentum is conserved
Large mass = ?
Small acceleration
Small mass = ?
Large acceleration
