Chapter 3 - Work, E, and Momentum

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Work   F acting on an object which moves through a distance d; = Fd cos theta  
🗑
When F and d are perpendicular   No work is done cuz cos 90 = 0  
🗑
Power   rate at which work is done; Watts = J/s  
🗑
Kinetic E   E of motion; = 1/2 mv^2  
🗑
Potential E   E of position; = mgh  
🗑
When mechanical E is not conserved...   E is drained away in form of heat  
🗑
Mechanical E   KE + PE = total E  
🗑
W when is comes to mass and velocity   = change in KE  
🗑
Non-conservative Force   friction  
🗑
Conservation of E   when the work done by non-conservative forces is zero (no air resistance), E is conserved and E = KE + PE  
🗑
Pulleys   these allow F to be reduced but distance that the force is exerted over is increased to compensate  
🗑
Efficiency (Pulley)   W out/W in ; load x load distance/effort x effort distance  
🗑
effort distance   load distance multiplied by the number of pulleys present  
🗑
Momentum   p = mv  
🗑
Impulse   J = Ft = change in momentum  
🗑
Conservation of Momentum (collisions)   Total p initial = Total p final; (p of object a)(p of object b)i = (pa)(pb)f  
🗑
Completely inelastic collisions   objects stick together after the collision; only momentum conserved  
🗑
Completely elastic collisions   objects dnt stick together after collision; KE is conserved; use momentum AND KE equations here  
🗑
Center of Mass Equation   X = (m1x1 + m2x2) / m1 +m2; x is the center point of the object. If a cube has a length of 4m, x would be at 2m  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
