Chapter 2 - Newtonian Mechanics

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Force   push or pull on an object; = ma; kgm/s^2 = N  
🗑
Mass   m; scalar; inertia; kg  
🗑
Weight   = mg; vector; gravitational attraction to the Earth; N  
🗑
Newton's First Law   a body at rest or in motion with constant velocity will remain that way unless acted upon by a force  
🗑
Newton's Second Law   F = ma; F direction = a direction  
🗑
Newton's Third Law   For every action, there is always an equal but opposite reaction; Fba = -Fab  
🗑
Gravitational Force Eq   F = Gm1m2/r^2  
🗑
Translational Eq   Sum of the force vectors equals 0  
🗑
Rotational Eq   Torque  
🗑
Torque Equation   T = rFsin theta  
🗑
Torque in clockwise direction is...   negative  
🗑
Find max Torque at   sin 90 degrees cuz it = 1  
🗑
Static Friction   force which must be overcome to set an object in motion; opposes motion; to get object moving from rest  
🗑
Kinetic Friction   to keep object moving; (mu)(F normal)  
🗑
When two blocks are connected on conveyor belt...   their acceleration is equal and their tensions are equal; add equations together to find acceleration and Tension  
🗑
Uniform Circular Motion Acceleration and Force Equations   a = v^2/r; F centripetal = (mv^2)/r = ma  
🗑


   

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.
