State Fair Physics
Question | Answer |
---|---|
objects hit and stick to each other | inelastic collision |
objects hit and bounce off each other | elastic collision |
"An object in motion, remains in motion until acted on by a net force" | 1st law of motion |
Force = mass x acceleration | 2nd law of motion |
"For every force, there is an equal and opposite force" | 3rd law of motion |
states that momentum is conserved in all collisions | law of conservation of momentum |
states that energy is conserved in a closed system | law of conservation of energy |
energy based on object moving | Kinetic Energy (KE) |
energy based on object's position (height) | Potential Energy (PE) |
9.8 m/s/s | acceleration due to gravity (ag) on Earth |
distance / time | speed |
displacement / time | velocity |
sum of PE and KE | Mechanical Energy (ME) |
anything that has been launched or thrown | projectile |
describes motion of a projectile | parabolic |
sum of all of the forces acting on an object | net force |
SI unit for energy | Joules |
this is needed to do work | energy |
acceleration of objects moving in a circular path | centripetal |
motion of objects moving in a circular path | uniform circular motion |
motion of objects moving in a straight line | linear motion |
