New cards

energy

the measure of an objects ability to change its surroundings

6
New cards

KE is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, meaning…

KE is directly proprotional to the square of the velocity, meaning that if velocity changes by a factor of x, KE changes by a factor of x², so if velocity increases by 5, KE increasees by 25

7
New cards

potential energy

potential energy is the energy stored in an object as a result of its positional

8
New cards

10
New cards

whatever height does, PEgrav does?

whatever height does, GPE does the same

11
New cards

the “zero level”

the zero height level is the arbitarily assigned 0 height from which the height of any object is measured

12
New cards

KE:

GPE:

ME: KE+PE, at any moment in time

KE: energy of motion

GPE: stored energy, potential to become KE

13
New cards

conservation of energy

gravity (internal force) is in the system

14
New cards

law of conservation of mechanical energy

in a closed, isolated system the total mechanical energy stays the same

becasuse of GPEm gravity is an internal force for energy

15
New cards

closed system

no objects enter or leave

16
New cards

isolated system

no object from outside the system puts a net force on an object in the system

17
New cards

examples of NOT isolated system

freefall, inclilnes, a lot of frice, applied force (gravity/free IS an internal force for energy)

18
New cards

external force

A force acting on an object in the system from another object that is outside of the system. If these forces are not balance out by another external force they will cause a change in the total momentum of the system.

19
New cards

internal force

A force acting on an object in the system from another object within the system. These forces can cause momentum transfers within the system, however they do not change the total momentum of the system.

20
New cards

momentum is directly proportional to

momentum is directly proportional to mass and velocity (p=mv)

21
New cards

to compare change in momentum use

to compare change in momentum, use: change in momentum=m(change in velocity)

no objects enter or leave

23
New cards

use equal but opposite changes in momentum to

use equal but opposite changes in momentum to explain conservation

24

New cards

mechanical advantage

simple machines are designed to give the user a mechanical advantage when doing work on an object

just because a charge is attracted or repelled, does not mean

just because a charge is attracted or reppelled, does not mean it will move

protons: dont typically move without the whole material object moving

elecrons: are often, but not always, able to move through an object, or from object to object

72

law of conservation of charge

you cant destroy or create charge, you can only transfer it (almost always electrons), to keep the total the same

74
New cards

methods of charging

friction, polarization, conduction, induction

75
New cards

charging by friction

when you rub 2 insulators together one may take electrons from the other. Both become charged, one +, one -

76
New cards

polarization

  • when you bring a charged object near a neutral object it can cause the charges to move to separte sides of the neutral object.

  • always attrated to the polarizing char

77
New cards

charging by conduction (aka contact)

if you bring a charged object into contact with a conductor electrons will transfer causing that object to share its charge with the conductor

78
New cards

grounding

connecting a charged object to the ground (or a large conductor) will make the object neutral

79
New cards

charging by induction

  • is charging by polarization made permaneny by either physically separting the two sides or by grounding one side

91
New cards

what is notes for for charging by conduction

for charging by conduction the notes is the original loses some of its charge so it is less charged, but not all the way back to neutral

92
New cards

what are the starting objects for charging by induction

for charging by induction the starting object is 1 charged object and 1 neutral conductor
