New cards

work formulas

w = F△x

full formula is F(II)cos△x

w = Fcos0△x

2
New cards

value of work when force is perpendicular to displacement

0

when it is 90 degrees

this also happens when the force acts vertically while displacement is horizontal

3
New cards

work energy theorem

when net external force does work (on an object), the CHANGE in kinetic energy (FINAL - INITIAL) is EQUAL to WORK done

work = change in ke

4
New cards

work energy theorem formula

W = 1/2mv²(f) -1/2mv²(i)

W can be expressed/substi too, as Fcos0△x or F△x

5
New cards

work done by gravity formula

W = Fcos△y, OR:

W = mg(y0-yf)

6
New cards

GPE definition

energy an object has due to its position, relative to surface of earth

7
New cards

conservation of mechanical energy formula

mgh(F) + 1/2mv²(F) = mgh(i) + 1/2mv²(i)

8
New cards

power formula

work/time

OR

change in energy/time

9
New cards

units of power

WATT (defined as one joule per second 1J/S)
or horsepower

10
New cards

how many watts is 1 horsepower

745.7

11
New cards

how many foot-pounds-per-second is 1 horsepower

550

12
New cards

internal force

forces that objects WITHIN SYSTEM exert on eachother

13
New cards

external force

forces exerted on object OUTSIDE SYSTEM

14
New cards

when is total linear momentum constant?

when the systems are isolated

15
New cards

what is the sum of average external forces in ISOLATED SYSTEMS

0

16
New cards

impulse formula

product of average force and time

J = F△t

17
New cards

momentum formula

p = mv

momentum is a vector

18
New cards

impulse-momentum theorem

when net force acts on an object, impulse and momentum are equal to echother

19
New cards

impulse-momentum formula

F△t = mv(f) - mv(i)

20
New cards

elastic collision

KE conserved, objects remain separated, total KE after collision = total KE before collision

21
New cards

‘perfectly/completely’ inelastic collision

KE not conserved. objects stick together

22
New cards

elastic collision formula for MOMENTUM AND KINETIC ENERGY

knowt flashcard image

m1v1 + m2v2 (i) = m1v1 + m2v2 (F) = MOMENTUM
equation with the ½ = KINETIC ENERGY
