| show | The temperature at which a substance has minimum internal energy. |
🗑
|
||||||
| Amplitude | is the maximum displacement from the centre of an oscillation/ equilibrium position | show 🗑
|
||||||
| Angular frequency | show |
🗑
|
||||||
| show | A complete movement of an oscillating or cycle |
🗑
|
||||||
| Boyles Law | show |
🗑
|
||||||
| Centripetal acceleration | Acceleration of a body following a circular path: directed towards the centre of a circle. It is perpendicular to the velocity | show 🗑
|
||||||
| show | Resultant force that has to act towards the centre of a circle to make a body follow a circular path. It is perpendicular to the velocity. |
🗑
|
||||||
| Heavy damping | show |
🗑
|
||||||
| Critical damping | show |
🗑
|
||||||
| Phase difference | between two points in an oscillation is a measure of what fraction of a complete oscillation has been completed between the two points | show 🗑
|
||||||
| Pressure Law for gases | show |
🗑
|
||||||
| Radian | Central angle of a circle where arc length = radius | show 🗑
|
||||||
| Resonance | The large amplitude oscillations that arise as a result of an oscillatory system being driven at a frequency equal to its natural frequency.Maximum energy transfer | show 🗑
|
||||||
| show | If the acceleration restoring force of a body is directly proportional to its distance from a fixed point and is always directed towards that point in its motion it is said to be SHM |
🗑
|
||||||
| Specific Heat Capacity | show |
🗑
|
||||||
| Specific Latent Heat | The specific latent heat of transformation from one phase to another is the energy needed per unit mass of the substance for the phase change to occur without any change of temperature occurring | show 🗑
|
||||||
| show | Time for one complete rotation or oscillation |
🗑
|
||||||
| displacement | How far and in what direction the body is from its equilibrium position | show 🗑
|
||||||
| Free oscillation | Simple harmonic motion with a constant amplitude and period and no external influences | show 🗑
|
||||||
| Frequency | The number of oscillations completed per second | show 🗑
|
||||||
| Gravitational Field lines | The direction in which a mass will move. Spherical masses produce radial fields. Near the earth we assume that the field is uniform. Gravitational fields are attractive only. | show 🗑
|
||||||
| Gravitational field strength | Force per unit mass in a gravitational field | show 🗑
|
||||||
| show | Force is directly proportional to extension. F =kx up to the limit of prpportionality |

🗑
|
||||||
| Out of phase | show |
🗑
|
||||||
| show | The periodic time is the time taken to make one complete oscillation/rotation |
🗑
