Force and Motion, Work, Energy, Power, Fluid Statics, Fluid Dynamics Review

These flashcards cover essential concepts related to force and motion, work, energy, power, fluid statics, and fluid dynamics.

Force is a __ quantity that represents a push or pull on an object.

vector

Weight is a force that pulls a body directly toward a nearby __ body due to gravitational attraction.

astronomical

The __ is the perpendicular force exerted by a surface on a body in contact with it.

Normal Force

Friction is a force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of motion between __ surfaces.

two

is the force exerted by a string, rope, or cable on an object.

Tension

Acceleration is the rate of change of __ of an object with respect to time.

velocity

Mass is a scalar quantity and is commonly known qualitatively as the amount of __ in an object.

matter

The Law of Inertia states that a body at rest remains at rest, and a body in motion stays in straight-line motion at constant velocity unless acted upon by an __ unbalanced force.

external

The Law of Acceleration states that an unbalanced force causes an object to __ in the direction of the force.

accelerate

The Law of Action and Reaction Forces states that whenever one object exerts a force on another, the second exerts an __ and opposite reaction force.

equal

Work is a scalar quantity that is the product of displacement and the component of the __ along the direction of displacement.

force

Energy represents the ability of a body or system to perform __.

work

Potential Energy (PE) is the energy stored in an object due to its __, configuration, or condition.

position

Kinetic Energy (KE) is the energy possessed by an object due to its __.

motion

Static friction is the force that resists the __ of motion between two surfaces in contact.

initiation

Pascal's Law states that in a confined fluid at rest, any change in pressure is transmitted __ and undiminished in all directions throughout the fluid.

equally

Archimedes' Principle states that an object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward __ force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

buoyant

Surface Tension is the force that acts on the surface of a liquid, causing it to __ and minimize its surface area.

contract

Capillarity is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces against __.

gravity

Beroulli's Equation states that in steady, incompressible, non-viscous fluid flow, the total __ remains constant along a streamline.
