I'm "taking notes" on "test review."
- How hard something is to rotate around its center of mass is its MOMENT OF INERTIA.
- The ratio of an object's volume to its mass is its DENSITY
- The momentum of a 2kg hockey puck that slides at 20m/s across an icy lake is MASS TIMES VELOCITY, so 40 kg*m/s.
- A rectangular block of aluminum has dimensions 1x1x6 (all inches). The density of aluminum is 2700 kg/m^3. How much does the block of aluminum weigh? 1 INCH = 0.0254 METERS, then DENSITY TIMES VOLUME EQUALS MASS, then WEIGHT EQUALS MASS TIMES GRAVITY.
- The Earth has a mass of 5.98x10^24 kg and an average radius of 6.37x10^8 m. What is the density of the Earth? VOLUME OF A SPHERE IS (4/3 PI R^2) and DENSITY IS MASS OVER VOLUME.
- Which has the greater momentum: a motorcycle that weighs 500 lbs moving at a speed of 5mph, or a bullet weighing 15oz moving at 900 m/s? LOTS OF CONVERSIONS; momentum equals MASS TIMES VELOCITY; compare.
- The amount of mass that flows through something per unit of time is the MASS FLOW SOMETHING
- The closer the mass is located to the center of rotation, the harder it is to rotate the mass about the given center of rotation. FALSE.
- A 600 kg car has a momentum of 18000 kg*m/s; how fast is the car moving? VELOCITY EQUALS MOMENTUM OVER MASS.
- It takes 20 seconds to fill a 2L bottle with water from your faucet. What is the mass flow rate from the faucet if water has a density of 1000 kg/m^3? 1L=1000 MM^3
- A roll of aluminum foil from the grocery store is 12 inches by 75 feet; if the foil is 0.006 inches think and the density of aluminum is 2700 kg/m^3, what is the mass of the roll of foil? WHY IS THIS ALL JUST CONVERSIONS AND DENSITY AND MOMENTUM.
- Weight is THE FORCE ON A MASS DUE TO GRAVITY.
- If you drop your textbook, it falls because the earth pulls it downward. At the same time, your textbook pulls on the earth with a force that is EQUAL IN MAGNITUDE, OPPOSITE IN DIRECTION.
- Forces tend to MOVE, ROTATE, ELONGATE objects.
- A force of 10 N causes a spring to stretch 50 cm (0.5 m). What is the spring constant? F=kx. 10 N=k(0.5 m); k=20 N/m
- The quantity that represents a measure of how easily a given fluid can flaw is known as VISCOSITY.
- If an object is moving and there are no unbalanced forces acting on it, the object will CONTINUE MOVING AT CONSTANT VELOCITY.
- If you push on your textbook so that it slides across the table at a constant velocity, ALL THE FORCES ACTING ON THE BOOK MUST BE BALANCED.
- A tow truck exerts a force of 2000 N on a car, causing it to accelerate at 4 m/s. What is the mass of the car? F=ma; 2000 N=m(4 m/s), so m=500 kg.
- The force that accelerates a car is THE ROAD PUSHING ON THE CAR.
- A "suction cup" sticks to the wall because it is PUSHED TO THE WALL BY THE ATMOSPHERE.
- A see-saw has a 50 lb child sitting at one end, 10 ft from the fulcrum. How far from the fulcrum should a 125 lb adult sit in order to balance the seesaw?
- While using a pushmower to mow your lawn, you notice that you push with a constant horizontal force of 75 N. How much work do you do while pushing the lawnmower a total distance of 25 km on level ground? IF YOU HAVE TO PUSH YOUR LAWNMOWER 25 KM, YOUR LAWN SUCKS AND YOU SHOULD PAY SOMEONE TO MOW IT FOR YOU; WORK IS FORCE TIMES DISTANCE; ALSO YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY APPLYING A HORIZONTAL FORCE, BUT I GUESS IT'S FAIR FOR THEM TO HAVE ALREADY FOUND YOU THE HORIZONTAL COMPONENT OF THE FORCE.
- While driving down the highway, your car must overcome the forces of friction and air resistance in order to keep the car moving. Experiments have indicated that a force of 560N is needed to keep a car moving at a constant speed. While driving the car a distance of 100,000 m, the car burns up 2.8 gal of gas. If gasoline is 100,000,000 J per gallon, what is the efficiency of the car's engine? EFFICIENCY IS OUTPUT OVER INPUT. OUTPUT IS THE WORK DONE, INPUT IS THE POTENTIAL ENERGY OF GASOLINE.
- How much kinetic energy does a 3kg soccer ball have while moving at 20 m/s toward your opponent's goal. KE=(1/2)mv^2.
- Which produces the greater change in kinetic energy (assume that all work goes into kinetic energy)? 10N force over 5m? 20N over 2m? 30N over 1.5m?
- Which of the following requires the most work done by the brakes of the car? Slowing from 80 mph to 55? stopping from 55 mph?
- A stone is dropped from a bridge and allowed to free-fall downward. As it falls a certain distance, its potential energy decreases by 1000 J. By how much does the stone's kinetic energy increase? ENERGY CONSERVATION, SO 1000 J.
- There's a sketch of a bowling ball return. Estimate the required speed of the ball at point 1 (on flat ground) so that it reaches point 2 (after going up) with a speed of 2 m/s. Point 2 is a hoight of 0.75m above the ground. CHANGE IN E = 0; I THINK WE JUST PLAY WITH KE AND PE AT THE BEGINNING AND THE END AND FIGURE OUT V FROM KE=(1/2)MV^2.
- In general, efficiency is defined as OUTPUT OVER INPUT.
- The largest source of electric power in the US is I DON'T KNOW PROBABLY COAL.
Sorry about blog posting this; OpenOffice was taking too long to load, and I didn't really feel like missing these, since on the last test I didn't come for the review class thing and blah blah, long story short I got the wrong scantron and it was a pain in the ass.
