Term

Simple Harmonic Motion descriptions

 

Definition

Amplitude (A) = meters

Frequency (f) = 1/seconds = Hertz

Period (T) = seconds

Term
Hooke's Law
Definition

Fspring = -kx

 

x is the stretched length of the spring

k is spring constant (N/m)

Term
Relationship between period and physical properties of a simple harmonic oscillator
Definition

2(pi)(sqr m/k)

 

m = mass

bigger the mass the slower it goes

Term
Simple pendulum
Definition

T=2(pi)(sqr L/g)

 

L=length of pendulum

g = gravity (9.8)

Term
Energy and simple harmonic motion
Definition

Total Energy = Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy

 

Etotal = KE + Uspring

 

Etotal = 1/2mv(sqr) + 1/2kx(sqr)

Term
Displacement for x in simple harmonic oscillators
Definition

Fspring = Work

k(delta x) = mg

Term

Transverse Waves

vs.

Longitudinal Waves

Definition

vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the medium

vs.

vibrate in a direction parallel to the medium

Term
Velocity of a wave
Definition

v = (lambda)f

[[aka v = wavelength x frequency]]

 

(m/s)

 

lambda = wavelength

f = frequency

Term
What does the speed of a wave depend on?
Definition

THE SPEED OF A WAVE DEPENDS ON ITS MEDIUM

 

((It's independent of wavelength and frequency))

 

speed of wave depends (sqroot Force Factor/ Mass of something)

Term
What does the frequency of a wave depend on?
Definition
THE FREQUENCY OF A WAVE DEPENDS ON ITS SOURCE
Term
Antinodes vs Nodes in waves
Definition

antinodes = loops

nodes = points of no displacement between loops

Term
Linear Expansion of Solid (like heating)
Definition

(delta L) = (alpha)(Lo)(delta T)

 

Delta L = Change in Length

Alpha = type of stuff...bigger alpha, faster things change temperature

Lo = original length

Delta T = change in temperature

Term

Ideal Gas Law formulars

 

PV = nRT

Definition

Pressure =  Force/ Area

[[P = F/A]] ((N/m(sq) aka Pascal))

 

PV = N(Kb)T

N=6.022 x 10^23 (molecules/mole)

kb = 1.38 x 10^-23 (J/K)

T = Temperature in Kelvin

 

 

Term

Average Kinetic Energy of Molecules

Definition
Kavg = (3/2)(Kb)(T)
Term

Root Mean Square Velocity

(rms)

Definition

v(rms) = (sqroot 3RT/M)

or (sqroot 3KbT/miew)

 

M = molar mass of gas

miew = mass/molecule of gas

Term

Heat equation

 

Definition

Q = mc(delta T)

 

Q = transfer of energy due to difference in temperature

c = specific heat

Term
Internal Energy
Definition

U = 3/2NkT

 

N = number of molecules

kT = average energy per molecule

Term

Conduction

 

(transfer of thermal energy through physical contact)

Definition

H = (Delta Q)/ (Delta time)

or

=kA(delta T)/L

 

A=area

L = Length through which heat is being transfered

Term
Convection
Definition
heat transfer through the movement of a fluid
Term

First Law of Thermodynamics

 

-Change in internal energy can be either negative or positive.

-If (deltaU >0) the energy in the system increases, if opposite the energy in the system decreases

 

 

Definition

(delta U) = Q + W

 

W = P(deltaV)

 

If work is done ON the system, W > 0

If work is done BY the system, W < 0

 

I have U; I do W; and Q flows into me

Term

-Thermodynamic Processes-

 

Isothermal

Definition

-keeps the temperature constant

(delta T) = 0

(delta U) = 0

 

SO -Q = W

 

PV = nKT

Term

-Thermodynamic Processes-

 

Adiabatic

Definition

-no heat flows

(Q = 0)

 

happens when something is done super fast

Term

-Thermodynamic Processes-

 

Isobaric

Definition

-Constant Pressure but change in volume

 

Q = (delta U) + W

Term

Heat Engine

+

Ideal efficiency

Definition

e = W/Qh

 

W = how much work you can do

Qh = how much heat you can take out

 

Ideal - e = 1 - TL/TH

Term
FRICTION
Definition

miew of friction = Force of friction / Normal force

 

 

Term
Motion Equations
Definition

Displacement: (delta x) = xfinal - xinitial

Average Velocity: v = (delta x)/(delta t) [[m/s]]

Average Acceleration: a = (delta v)/(delta t) [[m/ssqr]] 

Term
Motion at Constant Acceleration
Definition

v = vinitial + at

 

x = xinitial + vinitial(t) + 1/2a(tsqr)

 

vsqr = (vinitalsqr) + 2a(xfinal - xinitial)

Term
Linear Momentum
Definition

p = mv ((Ns))

 

p: momentum

 

Term
Impulse
Definition

J = F (delta t) = delta (mv)  [[kg m/s)

 

J = impulse

 

Term
Elastic Collision
Definition

Momentum is conserved in COLLISION

 

momentum and KINETIC ENERGY is conserved in elastic

Term
Inelastic Collusion
Definition

momentum is conserved, but kinetic energy is NOT

 

m1v2 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2) vf

Term
