Mechanics
This refers to a change in the position of an object over time.
Motion
This is the measure of how hot or cold a substance is
Temperature
A repeated back-and-forth motion around an equilibrium position.
Oscillation
SI unit of length.
Meter
Mass
m
Unlike displacement, this measures the entire path an object travels.
Distance
This principle states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
Energy conversation
This is the number of complete cycles in one second.
Frequency
SI unit of velocity.
meter per second
Temperature
T
What is potential energy?
Stored energy
What are the common temperature scales?
Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit
This is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position.
Amplitude
SI unit of volume.
cubic meter
Heat
Q
State Newton's First Law of Motion.
An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a net external force.
What is entropy?
A measure of energy disorder in a system.
This type of wave requires a medium to travel.
Mechanical wave
SI unit of entropy
joule per kelvin
Initial Velocity
vᵢ
A machine does 600 J of work in 20 s. Find its power.
What is Boyle’s Law?
Pressure and volume are inversely related.
This phenomenon occurs when a force matches an object's natural frequency, causing an increase in amplitude.
Resonance
SI unit of torque
newton meter
Final Velocity
v_f
