Term
momentum equation
Definition
p=mv
Term
impulse
Definition
change in momentum. J=delta p= m delta v. Or, J=Ft
Term
Power=
Definition
P=Work or Energy over time; P=Fv
Term
PEspring
Definition
1/2kx^2
Term
Force of spring
Definition
Fs=kx
Term
Equations involving n- index of refraction
Definition
n1sinX!=n2sinX2; n=c/v
Term
Continuity Eqn (fluids)
Definition
A1V1=A2V2
Term
Bernoulli's equation
Definition
P1+pgh1+1/2pv1^2=P2+pgh2+1/2pv2^2
Term
Buoyant Force
Definition
Fb=pVg
Term
Internal Energy
Definition
Delta U=Q+W; Delta U=3/2nR delta t
Term
Carnot Efficiency
Definition
ec=(Th-Tc)/Th
Term
Temp is proportional to..
Definition
molecular speed squared
Term
Elec & Mag: Force, Voltage, Power, Current
Definition
F=qvB; V=IR; P=VI=V^2/R=I^2R; I=Q^2/t (Coulomb/sec)
Term
Isothermal
Definition
Temp remains constant
Term
Adiabatic
Definition
Delta U= 0
Term
Isobaric
Definition
Pressure remains constant
Term
Isochoric
Definition
Volume remains constant- system does no work- Delta U=Q=nCdeltaT
Term
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
Definition
If objects 1 and 2 are each in thermal equilibrium w/ Object 3, then they are in te w/ each other. Heat will flow from warmer obj to cooler until they reach te.
Term
First law of Therm
Definition
Delta U= Q + W. Delta U depends on temp change, assuming no phase change.
Term
2nd Law of Therm
Definition
For any cyclic heat engine, soem exhaust heat also produced. Its impossible to have 100% effeciency.
Term
Kirchhoff's Rules
Definition
Loop Rule- sum of potential differences that traverse any closed loops in a circuit must be 0.
Junction Rule- Total current that enters a new junction must = total current that leaves. (Node Rule)
Term
Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction
Definition
Magnitude of emf induced in a circuit=rate of change of magnetic flux through circuit. EMF=delta magflux/delta t
Term
Magnetic flux
Definition
magflux=BAcosX
Term
Pascal's Law
Definition
Pascal's law states that when there is an increase in pressure at any point in a confined fluid, there is an equal increase at every other point in the container.
Term
Newton's 1st Law
Definition
Law of Inertia- obj will continue in state of motion unless force stops it
Term
Newton's 2nd Law
Definition
F=ma
Term
Newton's 3rd Law
Definition
To every action, there is an = but opposite reaction.
Term
Deuteron
Definition
One p+, one neutron
Term
Deuteron
Definition
One p+, one neutron
Term
positron
Definition
charge +1, same mass as electron.
Term
alpha particle
Definition
helium nucleus- 2 p+, 2n
