PHY 201 Test 2

QuestionAnswer
the natural state of motion is () () constant velocity
Principle of inertia an object in motion will stay in motion
extensive quantities are quantities that increase additively with the extent of the system, some examples are: mass, energy, and momentum
intensive quantities are quantities that are independent of the extent of the system, some examples are: density, temperature, ratios
what four processes can change the value of an extensive quantity? input, output, creation, and destruction
quantities that are never created or destroyed conserved
if an object gains momentum, their environment gains the () momentum opposite
the momentum of a (nonisolated) system can change if the system interacts with its environment, this is called an () impulse
Two carts are on an airtrack, one with a velocity of 0.4 m/s and the other at rest, so their relative speed is 0.4 m/s. After the collision cart 1 has a velocity of 0.2 m/s and cart 2 has a velocity of −0.2 m/s. What is their relative speed after? 0.4m/s
3 collision types: super elastic, elastic, inelastic
irreversible processes (which collision type) inelastic
reversable processes (which collision type) elastic
what is always conserved in collisions? momentum
Two 1 kg carts are moving at 2 m/s in opposite directions along a track. Their combined kinetic energy is 4 J
In the simple combustion process 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O where does the thermal energy come from? It equals the energy released from forming OH bonds less the energy required to break the HH and OO bonds
in which collision type does relative velocity flip? elastic
Kinetic energy is conserved in () collisions elastic
if mass 2 has an initial velocity of zero, you can find the final velocity of the first mass with v1f = =v1i(m1-m2/m1+m2)
if mass 2 has an initial velocity of zero you can find the final velocity of the second mass with v2f = = v1i (2m1/m1+m2)
In an inelastic collision what is conserved? momentum
when the coefficient of restitution e=0, what type of collision is it totally inelastic
when the coefficient of restitution0<e<1, what type of collision is it inelastic
when the coefficient of restitution e=1, what type of collision is it elastic
when the coefficient of restitution e>1, what type of collision is it super elastic/ explosive
() () happens when internal energy is converted into kinetic energy explosive separation
Alice sees Bob walking at 1 m/s to the North and she sees Carol walking at 1 m/s to the North. What is Carol’s velocity as seen by Bob? 0 m/s
the reference frame of an object is not () absolute
An air cannon can shoot soccer balls at 40 mph. If the air cannon is mounted on the back of a truck, aiming backward, and the truck drives forward at 40 mph, then right after being fired a soccer ball will (as seen from the Earth frame) Be motionless
an inertial reference frame is a reference frame in which () principle of inertia is valid Galileo
what is the primary reference frame we use is () earth
an IRF is anything moving at a () () relative to earth constant velocity
anything () relative to earth is not an IRF accelerating
the principle of relativity is a () principle symmetry
While standing in a stationary elevator you drop your keys, and they take 0.45s to hit the floor. The elevator is now moving up toward the second floor at constant speed and you drop your keys again. How long do they take to hit the floor this time? Still 0.45s
While standing in a stationary elevator you drop your keys, and they take 0.45s to hit the floor. The elevator is now moving up, speeding up at a constant rate, and you drop your keys again. How long do they take to hit the floor this time? Less than 0.45s
a z-frame is an IRF in which the () of the system is zero momentum
An () is something that happens somewhere/when event
what two thing does relativity agree on? time and acceleration
You toss a ball up and measure 3.0s to reach the peak of its highest point above you. A worker being lifted at 1.0m/s also measures time from when you throw the ball 'til it reaches the peak of highest point above him. The time measured by the worker is less than 3.0 s
what represents the "average" position in a many particle system? center of mass
Two 10 kg masses are placed on a wooden board, one at the left end and one at the right end. The center of mass of the system is At the center of the board
A 10 kg mass is placed at the left end of a wooden board and a 20 kg mass on the right end. The center of mass of the system is Closer to the right end of the board
All of the kinetic energy a system has when measured in the Z-frame is (): all of it can be () into internal energy within the system convertible
What is non-convertible energy? the cm velocity
𝐾cm is the (non-convertible) () () energy, calculated from the total mass moving at the cm-velocity Translational kinetic
The parameter 𝜇 is called the reduced mass
An unfortunate mosquito suffers a totally inelastic collision with an airplane. How does the magnitude of the momentum change of the mosquito compare to that of the plane? Mosquito’s is the same as the plane’s
what is the name of the mutual influences between two objects that produce changes in their states? interactions
energy associated with the arrangement of the parts of a system is called? potential energy
A deformed spring (whether stretched or compressed) stores what kind of potential energy? elastic
An elevator can be raised (a)by a motor or (b a counterweight (same mass as the elevator) that moves down the distance the elevator moves up. If the elevator moves up one floor, for which setup is the change in total gravitational potential energy least? b
A box slides along the floor and eventually comes to rest because of friction. Where did the kinetic energy of the box go? It is still in the box-floor system but in the form of thermal energy
what is the transformation of coherent mechanical energy into incoherent forms of energy? dissipation
what is coherent mechanical energy made up of? kinetic and potential
what are incoherent forms of energy? heat, anything that isn't mechanical, chemical
The atoms of air in this room are like balls bouncing around in a box. Why, unlike the balls in the box, do we never find the air settled on the floor? Collisions between molecules are elastic. Atomic interactions conserve kinetic energy. There is no “internal structure” to dissipate energy.
gravitational interaction is () range, based on (), holds galaxies together long, mass
electromagnetic interaction is () range, based on () charge, mediated by the (), holds atoms together long, electric, photon
strong nuclear interaction () range, based on () charge, mediated by (), holds nuclei together short, color, gluons
weak nuclear interaction () range, based on () charge, responsible for some forms of radioactivity short, weak
Which of the following is a manifestation of the electromagnetic interaction in chemistry? all interactions and bonds
a () deformation is associated with a potential energy that should depend on the relative positions of the objects in the system coherent
a point of min potential energy is a () () stable equilibrium
When bonded together the potential energy of NaCl is − 589 kcal/mol. This means that 589 kcal/mol must be supplied to break the bonds
Suppose that zero for gravitational potential energy is at ground level. Then for positions below ground level the gravitational potential energy is negative

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:
