Term
Definition
show quantity defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object  
🗑
impulse   show
🗑
show The mass times the change in velocity or an object(momentum) equals the force times the amount of time (impulse).  
🗑
show the total momentum of all objects interacting with one another remains constant regardless of the nature of the forces between the objects  
🗑
perfectly elastic collision   show
🗑
show A collision in which two objects stick together completely after colliding  
🗑
show Inelastic collisions lose kinetic energy that is used to deform the objects. Elastic collisions conserve kinetic energy.  
🗑
show movement in a circle or spinning  
🗑
show angle formed when arc length is equal to the radius of a circle  
🗑
angular displacement   show
🗑
angular speed   show
🗑
angular acceleration   show
🗑
show rate of change in linear velocity  
🗑
show acceleration toward the center of a circle  
🗑
centripetal force   show
🗑
show force that is affected by the masses of objects and distances between them  
🗑
escape speed   show
🗑
show a quantity that measures the ability of a force to rotate an object about some axis  
🗑
show The radius times the sine of the angle  
🗑
show point at which the mass of a body can be considered to be concentrated  
🗑
show tendency of an object to resist a change in rotational motion  
🗑
show The state of an object when there is no net force or net torque  
🗑
show The torque of an object will equal it's moment of inertia times it's angular acceleration  
🗑
angular momentum   show
🗑
conservation of angular momentum   show
🗑
show one-half the moment of inertia times angular speed squared  
🗑
efficiency   show
🗑
fluid   show
🗑
mass density   show
🗑
show upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in or floating on the fluid  
🗑
Archimedes' principle   show
🗑
negative buoyancy   show
🗑
show Buoyant force is greater than downward force so the object floats  
🗑
apparent weight   show
🗑
pressure   show
🗑
Pascal's principle   show
🗑
show The gauge pressure plus the atmospheric pressure  
🗑
temperature   show
🗑
viscosity   show
🗑
laminar flow   show
🗑
show rocky flow in different directions  
🗑
Venturi effect   show
🗑
Bernoulli's principle   show
🗑
Bernoulli's equation   show
🗑
ideal gas law   show
🗑
internal energy   show
🗑
show the state in which two bodies in physical contact with one another have identical temperatures  
🗑
show in general, increasing the temperature of a substance increases it's volume  
🗑
thermometer calibrations   show
🗑
show Tk= Tc+273  
🗑
show Tf= 1.8Tc+32  
🗑
heat   show
🗑
show the quantity of heat required to raise a unit mass of homogenous material  
🗑
calorimetry   show
🗑
show the energy per unit mass that is transferred during a phase change of a substance

🗑
spring constant   show
🗑
elastic potential energy   show
🗑
show a weight hung from a fixed point so that it can swing freely backward and forward

amplitude   show
🗑
period   show
🗑
show the number of cycles or vibrations per unit of time  
🗑
medium   show
🗑
mechanical wave   show
🗑
show a wave that consists of a single traveling pulse  
🗑
show wave formed by the periodic motion of a wave source  
🗑
show highest point above equilibrium position  
🗑

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.
