An absolute UNIT
This unit dealt with pressures, liquids and gases, and concepts of conservation of energy and motion.
What is Unit 8: Fluids?
Ei = Ef
What is "conservation of energy"?
Famous for his 3 laws of motion, this English polymath was a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist, theologian, author and inventor, often called the Father of Modern Physics.
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
A cue ball colliding with a billiard ball, sending the billiard ball away while the cue ball remains behind.
What is conservation of momentum?
A physical constant that determines various other outcomes of a situation, such as the time it takes to fall, the velocity achieved in freefall, the oscillation of a pendulum, and the velocity of double-apparent weight in rotational motion.
What is acceleration due to gravity, g?
This unit dealt with collisions and changes in motion, especially between impacts and applied forces.
What is Unit 4: Momentum & Impulse?
a=Fnet/m
What is Newton's Second Law?
A renowned French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher whose first name was totally awesome and whose last name because the unit of measure for pressure. .
Who is Blaise Pascal?
A frictionless pendulum swings back and forth forever, reaching the same height and speed repeatedly until the end of time.
What is conservation of energy?
The axis upon which an object in projectile motion has constant velocity and zero acceleration; the axis used to determine how far a projectile travels.
What is the x-axis?
This unit dealt with gears, bicycles, and lever arms.
What is Unit 5: Torque and Rotational Dynamics?
Ft=p(vf-vi)
What is the impulse-momentum theorem?
An ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, astronomer, inventor, and weapons designer, most widely recognized for his principle that the buoyant force of a liquid on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that object displaces.
Who is Archimedes?
Most commonly demonstrated by a ballerina or figure skater tucking in their arms to spin faster.
What is conservation of angular momentum?
A property of a material that is calculated using pre-determined equations based on shape, and which is also used to calculate the density of an object. Increasing this variable often results in increased likelyhood of floating.
What is volume, V?
This unit compared the motion of hollow tubes, spheres, and hoops as they rolled, relating it to how quickly they built speed or spun without additional input.
What is Unit 6: Energy and Momentum of Rotating Systems?
What is work-energy theorem?
An Italian physicist and mathematician best known for his invention of the barometer and his discovery that the velocity of a fluid exiting a container is the same as the velocity of an object dropped from the same height.
Who is Evangelista Torricelli?
A person drank too many Monster energy drinks and punches a wall, putting a hole in the wall but also breaking their hand.
The variable that most directly affects tangential velocity of a rotating object, or how quickly a rotating object can travel in linear motion.
What is radius, r?
This unit challenged student by relating force and distance to changes in the ability to do something, often comparing two different paths to lift the same object and asking which had the greater change.
What is Unit 3: Work, Energy, and Power.
(P0+ρVg+1/2 ρv2)1 = (P0+ρVg+1/2 ρv2)2
What is Bernoulli's Equation/Conservation of Energy?
The Swiss mathematician famous for using the conservation of energy to develop his principle that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure.
Who is Daniel Bernoulli?
A person submerges themselves into a full bathtub, and the water that overflows is the same weight as the person floating under the water.
The variable based on material properties used to calculate a specific force that determines the maximum angle an incline can reach before an object begins to slide.
What is coefficient of static friction?
