Systems

QuestionAnswer
What is pressure? the continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it.
What is a hydraulic system? The term hydrostatic refers to the transfer of energy from flow and pressure, not from the kinetic energy of the flow
What is a pneumonic system? .It works with the study of pressurized gas that produces mechanical motion, and the application of such gases to produce motion. Systems based on pneumatics are found in factories that deal with compressed air and inert gases.
How do you calculate pressure? P=Force/Area
What units are pressure expressed in? Neutons
What is the dependant variable? a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another.
What is the independent variable? The independent variable is the one that is changed by the scientist.
What is the controlled variable? things that you must maintain for a successful experiment
What is the force of gravity expressed in Newtons? 9.8
What is force measured in? Newtons
What is the formula for calculating Force of gravity F= (mass of the object) x (the strength of Earth's gravitational field)
How many times greater is weight on Earth as it is on the Moon? 6 times
Does you mass change depending on what planet you are on? no your mass doe not but your weight do
Find the weight of a 50 kg student on Earth. F = (50 kg)(9.8 N/Kg) = 490 N
What is work? When a force moves an object over a distance
What is work measured in? Joules
What is the formula for calculating Work? Work = (force in Newtons) x (distance in meters)
Calculate the following.... If Jennifer pushes a box with a force od 150 N and the box moves 3.0 m. How much work does she do on the box? W= (150)(3.0) 450 J
If the box has a mass of 25 kg, how much work will it take her to lift it from the floor to 2.0 m in the air? 490 J

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
