The overall force acting on an object, considering all forces acting upon it
What is net force?
It is done when a force causes displacement in the direction of the force
What is work?
Stored in all types of collisions
What is momentum?
A nucleus splits into smaller parts, releasing energy
What is Nuclear Fission?
The flow of electric charge
What is current?
A diagram showing all the forces acting on a single object.
What is a free body diagram?
Total energy of motion & position
What is mechanical energy?
A collisions where the objects stick together and only momentum is conserved
What is perfectly inelastic collisions?
When a neutron in an atom turns into a proton and releases a tiny, fast-moving electron
What is Beta Decay?
1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ...
What is parallel resistor formula
Newton's law stating that for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
Energy of motion
What is kinetic energy?
What is Impulse?
Two small nuclei combine to form a larger one, releasing even more energy
What is Nuclear Fusion?
The flow of electric charge through a conductor
What is current?
Newton's second law of motion, expressed as a formula
What is F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration)?
Stored energy due to position
What is potential energy?
A collision where bot momentum & kinetic energy is conserved
What is perfectly elastic collisions?
When an unstable atom loses two protons and two neutrons
What is Alpha Decay?
The energy per charge available to drive current
What is voltage (potential difference)?
A simplified drawing of an electric circuit using symbols
What is schematic diagram?
W = Fd
What is work formula?
p=mv
What is momentum formula?
Explain the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion in terms of energy release and the types of nuclei involved.
What is that nuclear fission releases energy by splitting heavy nuclei, while nuclear fusion releases energy by combining light nuclei?
Voltage = Current * Resistance
V=IR
What is Ohm's Law?
