Term
Four Basic Motions
Definition
gravity, nuclear weak force, electromagnetic force, nuclear strong force
Term
Theory of Relativity
Definition
1916, Accepted explanation of gravity as property of space and time,  Einstein
Term
Special Theory of Relativity
Definition

 

  1. 1905, law of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion relative to one another, Principle of Relativity
  2. Speed of light in a vaccuum is the same for all observers relative motion

 

Term
Electric Force
Definition
Strength is proportional to the square of the distance between two objects
Term
Momentum
Definition

 

  1. P=MV
  2. Momentum = mass times velocity

 

Term
Conservation of Momentum
Definition
Total momentum in a closed system is constant
Term
Centripetal Force
Definition

 

  1. Force that pulls an object towards center
  2. (Mass*Velocity^2)/radius

 

Term
Centrifrugal Force
Definition
Opposite of centripetal force
Term
Weight
Definition
Weight=mass*gravity
Term
Terminal Velocity
Definition
When an object ceases to accelerate downward due to wind resistance but moving at constant speed
Term
Fluid Pressure
Definition

 

  1. Force of pressure is dependent upon the depth and density of the fluid and the acceleration of gravity
  2. P=pgh
  3. P=Static fluid pressure,p=fluid density, (mass / volume), g is acceleration of gravity, h is depth of fluid

 

Term
Torque
Definition

 

  1. Torque = force * lever arm
    1. Level arm is perpendicular distance from axis of rotatioin

 

Term
Newton's First Law
Definition
Law of Inertia, body in motion stays in motion unless another force acts upon it
Term
Newton's Second Law
Definition
F=MA
Term
Newton's Third Law
Definition
For every force there is an equal and opposite force
Term
Work
Definition
Force x Distance
Term
Simple Machines
Definition
Plane, level, wheel, axle, and pulley
Term
Static Friction
Definition
occurs when there is no relative motionm between surfaces
Term
Archimede's Princple
Definition

 

  1. A buoyant force on an submerged object is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced
  2. Mass - Mass When Submerged = Density of Water * Volume of Object

 

Term
Bernoulli's Principle
Definition
When the velocity of a gas or liquid is increased, pressure is decreased
Term
Coulomb
Definition
Electric Charge is measured with this unit
Term
Plastic Rod & Fur Vs Glass Rod & Silk
Definition
Plastic Rod becomes negative, Glass Rod becomes positive
Term
Anions
Definition
Negatively Charged Atoms
Term
Cation
Definition
Positively charged atoms
Term
Kinectic Energy
Definition

 

  1. Energy of an object in motion
  2. KE = 1/2mv^2

 

Term
Potential Energy
Definition

 

  1. Energy capacity for doing where based on position
  2. PE=mgh
