what is force?

A force is a push or pull exerted by one
object on another

100

formula for strain

strain = deformation/ original length

100

what is moment 

A moment of a force is a measure of its tendency to cause a body to rotate about a point or axis

how to solve for the hypotenuse on a triangle 

Pythagorean’s Theorem to solve for a hypotenuse

Modulus of Elasticity

A measure of a material’s ability to regain its original
dimensions after the removal of a load or force. The modulus is the slope of the straight line portion of the stress-strain diagram up to the proportional limit

200

what is tensile force?

A tensile force expands or
lengthens the object it is acting
on.

200

what is strain

Strain is deformation per unit length, a

dimensionless quantity



200

formula to find moment

Moment = Force * Distance

200

sin 0 formula

Sin q = O/H

200

Modulus of Resilience

A measure of a material’s ability to absorb energy up to the elastic limit. This modulus is represented by
the area under the stress vs. strain curve from
0-force to the elastic limit

300

what is compressive force 

A compressive force compresses or shortens
the object it is acting on

300

proportional limit

greatest stress a material is
capable of withstanding without deviation from
straight line proportionality between the stress and
strain. If the force applied to a material is released,
the material will return to its original size and
shape.

300

positive moment 

A moment with a tendency to rotate counter clockwise

300

cos 0 formula 

Cos q = A/H

300

Modulus of Toughness

A measure of a material’s ability to plastically deform without fracturing. Work is performed by the material
absorbing energy by the blow or deformation. This measurement is equal to the area under the stress vs. strain curve from its origin through the rupture point

400

what unit is force measured in

newtons

400

yield point 

The point at which a sudden elongation
takes place, while the load on the sample remains
the same or actually drops. If the force applied to
the material is released, the material will not return
to its original shape

400

negative moment

A moment with a tendency to rotate clockwise

400

tan 0 formula 

Tan q = O/A

400

what is the POE teachers name

Mr. Johnson 

500

what can force change?

the direction in which an object is moving

500

Ultimate Strength

The point at which a maximum load for a sample is achieved. Beyond this point elongation of the sample
continues, but the force exerted decreases

500

what is moment the same as

torque
