m = 1,2,3 (dark spots) Vectors – weight, velocity, force, position Scalars – speed, distance, mass, charge, time, volume, temperature, energy Conservative Forces – gravitational, elastic, electric Nonconservative Forces – friction, air resistance, tension in cord, motor or rocket propulsion, push or pull by a person CONCEPTS Newton’s 1st^ Law – A body acted on by no net forces moves with a constant velocity and no acceleration Newton’s 2nd^ Law – F = ma Newton’s 3rd^ Law – Whenever 1 object exerts a force on a second object, the second exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. Collisions – if no force external, momentum is conserved Elastic – objects come together and bounce apart. Kinetic energy is conserved. Inelastic – objects come together and bounce apart or stick together. Kinetic energy is not conserved. Perfectly Inelastic – objects come together and stick together. Rotational Motion - The centripetal acceleration is greater the farther you are from the axis of rotation. Angular velocity oat any point is the same. Torque – long lever arms help produce large torque. Rotational Inertia – a large-diameter cylinder will have greater rotational inertia than one of equal mass but smaller diameter. Bernoulli’s Principle – where the velocity of a fluid is high, the pressure is low. Where the velocity of a fluid is low, the pressure is high. Reflection – when one end of the string is fixed, the wave will return on the opposite side. When the end is free, it will return on the same side.
