Measure of Success
the SI unit for length
What is a meter?
rate of change of velocity
What is acceleration?
the force exerted upon a body by gravity
What is weight?
the energy of position
What is gravitational potential energy?
the acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion directed towards the center of the circle
What is centripetal acceleration?
the SI unit for mass
What is a kilogram?
measurable quantity that has both magnitude and direction
What is a vector?
the measure of inertia of a body
What is mass?
product of force and displacement which results in a change in energy
What is work?
an apparent force that acts outward on a body moving around a center, arising from the body's inertia
What is centrifugal force?
the SI derived unit for force
What is a Newton?
downward movement under the force of gravity only
What is free fall?
Every body continues in its state of rest, or uniform motion in a straight line, except when it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.
What is Newton's First Law?
an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies remains the same
What is an elastic collision?
360 degrees / 2pi
What is a radian?
the SI derived unit for energy
What is a Joule?
the path followed by an object moving under the action of given forces
What is a trajectory?
a characteristic of a spring which is defined as the ratio of the force displacing the spring to the displacement caused by it
What is the spring constant?
change in momentum
What is impulse?
the measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object
What is torque?
the SI derived unit for power
What is a Watt?
position of an object thrown vertically upwards when it has no velocity or acceleration
What is the maximum height?
force that exists between a stationary object and the surface on which it's resting and does not exist after the object is in motion
What is static friction?
forces that result in no net work being done within a system being studied
What are conservative forces?
the measure of resistance to rotational acceleration
What is moment of inertia?
