A familiar electric phenomenon in which charged particles are transferred from one body to another.
What is static energy/electricity?
A value that shows the relationship between two objects and the normal reaction between the objects that are involved.
What is a coefficient of friction?
What are joules?
Has only magnitude; no direction
What are scalars?
When an object has the ability to do work due to its position or motion.
What is mechanical energy?
The difference of electrical potential between two points.
What is potential difference?
The resistance between moving layers of a fluid, which is also known as viscosity. In general, more viscous fluids are thicker
What is fluid friction?
a principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be altered from one form to another.
What is conservation of energy?
Diagrams used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation.
What are free body diagrams?
Momentum formula
What is p = mv?
A form of energy that can be reflected or emitted from objects through electrical or magnetic waves traveling through space.
What are electromagnetic waves?
Resistance to movement of air flowing along the surface of the earth or other surface such as an airplane wing.
What is surface friction?
Energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field.
What is gravitational energy?
An ordered list of elements.
What are tuples?
What is conservation of momentum?
A circuit in which the electric current passes through two or more branches or connected parts at the same time before it combines again.
What are parallel circuits?
What is the formula for friction?
a law stating that the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that solid.
What is Hooke's law?
The forefinger points to the direction of the magnetic field. The middle finger points in the direction of the current. The thumb gives the direction of force or motion acting on the conductor.
What is the left hand rule?
For every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's 3rd law?
Scottish inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist who improved on Thomas Newcomen's 1712 Newcomen steam engine with his Watt steam engine in 1776.
Who is James Watt?
The man who created a concept of friction.
Who is John Walker?
The energy that is generated and measured by heat. An example is the kinetic energy of an atom or the chemical energy in a molecule.
What is thermal energy?
This man created the concept of vectors
Who is Josiah Williard Gibbs?
States that the change in momentum of an object equals the impulse applied to it.
What is impulse momentum change theorem?
