What is the force that keeps an object moving in a uniform circular motion? | Centripetal Force |
What direction does centripetal force point? | Inwards |
What is the magnitude of centripetal force of a satellite orbiting a planet equal to? | Force due to gravity from that planet. |
What are two variables on which torque depends? | Point of application and direction of force. |
The torque equation may also include a trig function which is? | Tan |
What are three types of thermal energy transfer? | Conduction, convection, and radiation. |
What is conduction? | Energy transfer by two objects in contact. |
What is convection? | The displacement of cold matter by hot matter. |
What is radiation? | Energy transfer by means of sunlight of electromagnetic waves. |
When an object moves in a uniform rotational motion, where does the acceleration point? | Inwards/center |
Positive rotation occurs when motion is... | Counterclockwise |
Negative rotation occurs when motion is... | Clockwise |
