New cards
Dynamics definition
The study of motion using quantities such as force and mass
2
New cards
Mass
A measure of the amount of matter within an object
3
New cards
Weight
the force of gravitational attraction on a body
4
New cards
Linear momentum
product of mass and velocity
p = mv
5
New cards
Force
Rate of change of momentum
6
New cards
Conservation of momentum
When bodies in a system interact, total momentum remains constant provided no external force acts on the system
7
New cards
Newton’s first law of motion
An object will remain at rest or keep traveling at constant velocity unless it is acted on by a resultant force.
8
New cards
Newton’s second law of motion
The resultant force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of its momentum. The resultant force and the change in momentum is in the same direction. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.
9
New cards
Newton’s third law of motion
When two bodies interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal and opposite.
10
New cards
Inertia
A measure of the mass of an object.
11
New cards
Resultant force
the sum of forces
12
New cards
Contact forces
13
New cards
Non-contact forces
14
New cards
Friction
the force that resists motion when the surface of one object comes in contact with the surface of another.
15
New cards
Drag
A force that resists the movement of a body through a fluid. This force increases with velocity
16
New cards
Terminal velocity
The maximum velocity of an object traveling through a fluid.
17
New cards
Viscous forces
Forces that act on a body moving through a fluid that is caused by the resistance of the fluid
18
New cards
Archimedes principle
a body totally or partially immersed in a fluid is subject to an upward force equal in magnitude to the weight of fluid it displaces
19
New cards
Impulse
is the product of force acting on an object and time during which the force acts. (change in momentum)
20
New cards
Elastic Collisions
Total momentum and kinetic energy is conserved
21
New cards
Inelastic Collisions
Total energy (momentum) is conserved but kinetic energy may be converted into other forms of energy like heat
22
New cards
Perfectly inelastic collision
Only momentum is conserved, and the particles stick together after collision
