Honors Freshman Physics Second Semester Final Exam Review Topics The following concepts will be covered on the final exam, in a multiple-choice format. You should be able to deal with each topic conceptually, and where appropriate, computationally. Force-interaction that causes an object to have a change in velocity net force- The total amount of force acting on a system force diagrams- A visualized diagram to show all forces acting on a system, includes strength and direction gravitational force- weight and its units force units normal force frictional force Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion mass and its units energy energy storage Mechanisms energy transfer mechanisms gravitational energy working heating Radiating kinetic energy conservation of energy Power energy bar graphs energy bar graphs thermal (dissipated) energy work, energy, and power units elastic energy energy equations net radial force centripetal acceleration Law of Universal Gravitation universal gravitational constant charging by friction Types of charge (positive, negative) polarization of charge charging by induction and conduction charging by conduction conductors vs. insulators electrostatic force charge identification with neon bulbs Hooke’s Law Displacement equilibrium closed loop Conductor Insulator continuous conducting path conventional charge flow capacitor genecon (generator) cell battery Resistance series circuit parallel circuit
