Laws
This law has several key assumptions, one of which is that every collision between particles is inelastic.
What is the ideal Gas Law?
On Earth, this constant is averaged to 9.81m/s2
What is g? / What is gravitational field strength?
This ratio compares the absolute uncertainty of a measurement to the measurement itself.
What is fractional uncertainty?
These objects theoretically absorb and emit 100% of incident radiation.
What are black bodies?
Her name is Elowen and she just turned 16 months old.
Who is Ms. Muchmore's niece?
This law can be applied to all collisions and explosions.
What is the conservation of momentum?
This constant is used in calculations on electrostatic forces and field strength
What is coulomb's constant? / What is
8.99*10^9 N*m^2/C^2
This is how many significant figures an uncertainty should be rounded to.
What is ONE significant figure?
** exceptions can be made if the uncertainty starts with a 1
This difference between the sum of mass of the individual particles and the mass of the newly formed nuclei is equivalent to the energy released in a nuclear reaction.
What is the mass defect?
This is Ms. Muchmore's height (without heels).
What is 175 cm ±0.5cm?
This law states that planets in orbit tend to follow an elliptical path, with a star at one of the focii.
What is Kepler's First Law?
This constant is used when calculating the force per unit length of two parallel wires on each other.
What is the magnetic permeabililty of free space/
mu_0
One of the most straightforward ways to reduce the effect of random errors on your data.
What is increase the number of trials?
This force will never do work on an object, because it is perpendicular to the motion of the object.
What is a centripetal force?
Ms. Muchmore's master degree is in this subject.
What is Industrial Engineering?
This law describes the relationship between resistance and current in a circuit.
What is Ohm's Law/ What is V=IR?
This constant allows us to calculate the luminosity of a radiating object, if we know its area and temperature.
What is the Stefan Boltzmann constant?
sigma
You should use this to measure very small distances.
What are calipers / What is a micrometer?
This perceived shift in frequency of light emitted from stars when observed on Earth is evidence for the expansion of the universe, and is an example of the Doppler Effect.
What is redshift?
Ms. Muchmore's favorite movie.
What is Pan's Labyrinth?
This fundamental law of motion can be expressed as F=dP/dt
What is Newton's Second Law?
This constant represents the speed of light in a vacuum, 3*108 m/s
What is c?
This process allows us to analyse transformed data for a directly proportional relationship between variables.
What is linearising data?
This allows us to visualise the direction of a force on a moving charge due to a magnetic field.
The right hand slap rule.
