How to objects fall near the surface of the Earth (neglecting air resistance)

Front

fall at the same rate, g=10 m/s^2

Back

Newton's second law

Front

when an object is acted upon by a force, the object will accelerate (F=ma)

Back

define the center of mass

Front

the center of mass of an object is the point in which all the mass of an object can be centered. It is the balance point of an object

Back

In projectile motion the motion in the horizontal direction is...

Front

independent of the motion in the vertical direction: Δx= v initialx (Δt), velocity is constant

Back

The force keeping an object in uniform circular orbit is the______

Front

centripetal force

Back

When does a standing wave result?

Front

when an object is vibrated at its natural resonant frequency. the resulting pattern is a series of nodes and anti nodes

Back

the slope of the _____ vs.______ curve is velocity

Front

position, time

Back

define period

Front

the time to complete one wave cycle

Back

Electric field lines always point from ___ to ____

Front

positive to negative

Back

the slope of the velocity vs. time curve is...

Front

acceleration

Back

a net force applied to an object, over an interval of time, will result in a change in...

Front

the object's momentum (This is the impulse momentum theorem)

Back

There is always a(n) ______ at open ends of pipes

Front

antinode

Back

define the moment of inertia

Front

the moment of inertia is the resistance to a change in rotational motion

Back

define wave

Front

a wave is a traveling disturbance which carries energy from place to place.

Back

a(n) ___________ pipe is a 1/4 λ resonator

Front

closed ended

Back

The reflection of a wave from a barrier or fixed point changes the wave in what way(s)

Front

it causes the wave to flip upside down (phase change of 180 degrees)

Back

induction is the transfer of electric charge by...

Front

charge separation without making contact

Back

define beats in waves

Front

frequency beats are the resulting interference pattern from the interaction between two tones of slightly different frequencies

Back

in perfectly elastic collisions, what is conserved besides momentum?

Front

kinetic energy

Back

define torque

Front

torque is the product of the applied force and the moment arm length that causes rotation

Back

The two types of friction are: (explain difference too)

Front

static and kinetic: static is when the object is not moving, kinetic is when the object is moving

Back

Electric field lines are most dense in what place?

Front

in areas of large concentration (more charge= more electric field lines)

Back

the displacement of a wave to complete one cycle is called the ________

Front

wavelength

Back

static friction is always __ than kinetic (less or more)

Front

more

Back

resistance depends on: (3 things!)

Front

-length -cross sectional area -metal type

Back

In periodic waves, ________ is the reciprocal of period

Front

frequency

Back

a negatively charged particle has electric field lines that point _________

Front

radially inward

Back

Define power

Front

the rate of energy transfer, or how quickly energy is transferred

Back

Newton's third law

Front

an object applying a force on a second object will experience a force from the first object of equal magnitude, but in the opposite direction (action= reaction law)

Back

An object thrown upward reaches its maximum height when...

Front

its velocity reaches zero

Back

a(n) ___________ pipe is a 1/2 λ resonator

Front

open-ended

Back

In all collisions, what is conserved?

Front

momentum

Back

the beat frequency, Fb=

Front

f1-f2

Back

define current

Front

current is the flow of electric charge through a wire cross- section per unit of time

Back

the reflection of a wave from an opening or free point changes the wave in what way(s)

Front

it continues as the identical wave (no phase change)

Back

a positively charged particle has electric field lines that point ___

Front

radially outward

Back

The area under a velocity-time graph gives us

Front

displacement

Back

define inertia

Front

inertia is the resistance to a change in linear motion

Back

Wiring circuits in series ___ the overall resistance, while it ___ the overall current for a given voltage.

Front

increases, decreases

Front

change in velocity

Back

The are under the Force vs Displacement curve is....

Front

Work

Back

In uniform circular motion, tangential speed is_______

Front

constant

Back

Newton's first law

Front

an object in motion at constant velocity will remain in constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force (law of inertia)

Back

Wiring circuits in parallel ___ the overall resistance, while it ___ the overall current for a given voltage.

Front

decreases, increases

Back

Define Work

Front

Work is the product of force applied to an object and the displacement of the object, in the direction of the applied force
