Have both magnitude and direction, can be added together

4
Q

Acceleration

A

How velocity changes with time

Q

Force Formula

A

F = ma

  • F*: force
  • m*: mass

A

Universal attraction between all objects, related to Newton’s Third Law

8
Q

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

A

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

9
Q

Gravity of Earth

A

9.8 m/s2 = 32.2 ft./s2

10
Q

Weight

A

Gravitational force exerted on an object by a larger object, calculated using Newton’s Second Law

11
Q

Formula for Weight

A

W = mg

  • W*: weight
  • m*: mass (kg)
  • g*: gravity (m/s2)
12
Q

Pressure can be increased by…

A

Increasing applied force or decreasing the area force is applied

13
Q

Pressure can be decreased by…

A

Decreasing applied force or increasing the area forced is applied

14
Q

1 atm = ? torr

A

760 torr

15
Q

760 torr = ? mmHg

A

760 mmHg

16
Q

Formula for Pressure

A

Pressure = Force/Area

17
Q

How does a Barometer work?

A

Atomospheric pressure pushes down on mercury reservoir, which forces murcury column higher

18
Q

How does a Manometer work?

A

Measures pressure differences. Connect one end to system being measured and leave other end open to atomsphere then measure height difference

19
Q

How does Bourdon Gauge work?

A

Aneroid style gauge commonly found on gas cylinders. Coiled tube coupled to pointer measures difference between pressure exerted by gas and atomspheric pressure.

20
Q

Ptotal =

A

Pgauge + Patm

21
Q

Work

A

Expenditure of energy. Force acting through a distance.

22
Q

Formula for Work

A

W = F x d

  • W*: work (J)
  • F*: force
  • d*: distance
23
Q

Kinetic Energy

A

Energy of motion

24
Q

Energy

A

Capacity for doing work. Cannot be lost, but converted

25
Q

calorie

A

Amount of energy needed to raise temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree Celsius

26
Q

Law of Conservation of Energy

A

Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but only converted to other kinds of energy

27
Q

Internal Energy

A

Sum of all kinetic and potential energies of a system

28
Q

Thermodynamics

A

Study of energy, how it is interconverted to different forms, and how it flows in/out of thermodynamic systems

29
Q

Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics

A

2 objects A/B are same temperature. B/C are same temperatue. A/C are equal temperature (thermal equilibrium) and no heat will flow between A/C.

30
Q

First Law of Thermodynamics

A

Change in internal energy is equal to sum of heat flow of system and work by/on system.

31
