All Flashcards
Compare and contrast static and kinetic friction.
Both are forces that oppose motion (). Static friction prevents motion, while kinetic friction opposes motion of sliding objects.
Compare elastic and inelastic collisions.
Elastic: Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. Inelastic: Momentum is conserved, but kinetic energy is not.
Compare and contrast period (T) and frequency (f).
Period (T): The time for one complete cycle. Frequency (f): The number of cycles per unit time. They are inversely related: .
What is the effect of increasing the mass in a mass-spring system on the period of oscillation?
Increasing the mass increases the period of oscillation.
What is the effect of increasing the length of a simple pendulum on the period of oscillation?
Increasing the length increases the period of oscillation.
What is the effect of applying a net torque to an object?
It causes angular acceleration.
What happens when a net force acts on an object?
The object accelerates in the direction of the net force.
What is the effect of applying a net force on an object?
The object accelerates ().
What happens when work is done on an object?
The object's kinetic energy changes ().
What is the effect of an impulse on an object?
The object's momentum changes ().
What is the effect of applying a torque on an object?
The object experiences angular acceleration ().
What happens when the distance between two masses increases?
The gravitational force between them decreases ().
What happens when a spring is compressed or stretched?
It stores elastic potential energy ().
