CONTACT FORCE

Requires physical contact between objects

New cards
5

CONTACT FORCE

is a force that is applied by object

in contact with each other

New cards
6

CONTACT FORCE

acts on the point of direct contact between the two objects

New cards
7

CONTACT FORCE

▷This force can either be continuous as a continuous force or can be momentary in the form of an impulse

New cards
8

CONTACT FORCE

is governed by Newton’s Law. Contact force is responsible for most of the interactions we experience in daily life.

New cards
9

Tension Force

is defined as the force that is transmitted through a rope, string, or wire when pulled by forces acting from opposite sides.

New cards
10

Tension Force

is directed over the length of the wire and pulls energy equally on the bodies at the end

New cards
11

Normal Force

is the force that surface exert to prevent solid object from passing through each other

New cards
12

Normal Force

are always directed perpendicular to the surface

New cards
13

Normal Force

a force experienced by an object lying on the surface; also described as a support force that is always perpendicular to a surface

New cards
14

Frictional Force

refers to the force generated by two surfaces that contacts and slide against each other

New cards
15

Frictional Force

These forces are mainly affected by the surface texture and amount of force impelling them together.

New cards
16

Frictional Force

resists the motion; caused by the interaction between the surfaces in contact, resulting in a resistance to the object’s motion.

New cards
17

Spring Force

is the force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring upon any object that is attached to it.

New cards
18

Spring Force

an object that compresses or stretches a spring is always acted upon by a force that restores the object to its rest or equilibrium position.

New cards
19

Spring Force

experienced by an object linked with the restoring force that aims to return the object to equilibrium; usually associated with compressed or stretched spring or an elastic material.

New cards
20

Thrust Force

is a force or a push. When a system pushes or accelerated mass in one direction, there is a thrust (force) just as large in the opposite direction

New cards
21

Thrust

is used to describe how strong the engines pushes

New cards
22

Thrust Force

a forced experienced by an object whenever fluid is expelled by it (e.g., propeller, turbine, rocket, etc.)

New cards
23

Drag Force

a reaction force that resists the motion of an object in a fluid; the direction of resistance is opposite the motion of the object

New cards
24

Air and Water Resistance

oppositely directed force experienced by an object moving in air (aerodynamic drag) or water (hydrodynamic drag)

New cards
25

Buoyant Force

a force experienced by an object that is partially or wholly submerged in a fluid; equal to the weight of the amount of fluid displaced by the submerged object

New cards
26

non-contact force

is a force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it.

New cards
27

Non-contact forces

come in play when objects do not have a physical contact between them or when a force is applied without any interaction

New cards
28

Non-contact forces

Also called action-at-a-distance, which arises even without physical contact between the objects and even if the objects are distant from each other.

New cards
29

Gravitational Force

is a force that attracts any two objects with mass

New cards
30

Gravitational Force

  • attractive because it always tries to pull masses together, it never pushes them apart.

- it is a force exerted by object with mass

New cards
31

Strong Force

also known as strong nuclear force, it keeps the nucleons and their components (quarks) together and is the strongest of all fundamental forces

New cards
32

quantum chromodynamics

The theory that deals with the idea of a strong force which states that fractionally charged quarks interact by means of particles called “gluons

New cards
33

New cards
35

Electromagnetic Force

cts between electrically charged particles.

New cards
36

Work

if a force causes an object to move.

New cards
37

Scalar Dot Product

  • A product is obviously a result of multiplying 2 numbers. A scalar is a quantity with NO DIRECTION. So basically Work is found by multiplying the Force times the displacement and result is ENERGY, which has no direction associated with it.

New cards
38

Energy

Capacity to do WORK

New cards
39

Gravitational Potential Energy

41

Mechanical Energy \n

The sum of the potential and kinetic energies

of a body

New cards
42

center of mass

is the point located at the object’s average position of mass.

New cards
43

Center of Mass

is a system is the location in space where a force that is applied to the system will make it move without the tendency to rotate

New cards
44

Geometric Center

s the physical center of a system.

New cards
45

MOMENTUM

It is the product of the mass of the object and its velocity

New cards
46

MOMENTUM

“The more mass on a body has, the greater its tendency to stay at rest”

New cards
47

Linear Momentum

s the body to continue in uniform motion along a straight line/path.

New cards
48

Newton’s Law and Momentum

  • The change in an object’s momentum divided by the elapsed time equals the constant net force acting on the object

New cards
49
  • Newton’s Second Law

  • can be used to relate the momentum of an object to the resultant force acting on it.

New cards
50

IMPULSE

When a single, constant force acts on the object, there is an impulse delivered to the object

New cards
51

IMPULSE

The equality is true even if the force is not

constant

New cards
52

IMPULSE

Vector quantity, the direction is the same as the direction of the force

New cards
53

Impulse - Momentum Theorem

The theorem states that the impulse acting on a system is equal to the change in momentum of the system

New cards
54
  • Momentum

  • is conserved in any collision

New cards
55
  • Inelastic Collisions

57
  • Elastic collisions

  • Both momentum and kinetic energy are

    conserved

58
  • Actual collisions \n

  • Most collisions fall between elastic and

    perfectly inelastic collisions

New cards
59
  1. non-perfect inelastic collision

  1. momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not. Moreover, the objects do not stick together

New cards
60
  1. perfectly inelastic collision

  1. momentum is conserved, kinetic energy is not, and the two objects stick together after the collision, so their final velocities are the same.

New cards
61

Momentum

is conserved in all collisions

67

Waves on a Liquid

  • The particles of water move in a circular manner, while they propagates towards the right.

New cards
68

Waves on a Liquid

  • Since the particles movement is not constricted to the horizontal axis, this reveals that the direction of wave motion is neither solely parallel nor perpendicular to the movement of the particles of the medium

New cards
