Hookes' Law, elastic materials, bouncing, coefficient of restitution, circular motion, centripetal acceleration and force, static and dynamic stability
Equations:
Hooke's Law: Force = - spring constant x stretching: F = -kx
Bouncing: Coefficient of Restitution = speed of separation / speed of approach
Centripetal acceleration a = v2/r toward center.
Air, fluids, pressure, density, number density, volume, absolute temperature, floating, Archimedes' principle, flowing fluids, Bernouli's principle
Equations:
Pressure = Force / Area
Pressure = density x g x height = ρ g h
Ideal Gas Law:
Pressure = Number density x Boltzmann's constant x absolute temperature
= (N/V) k T
where there are N noninteracting gas particles in volume V, and
k = 1.381 x 10-23 Pa m3/K is Boltzmann's constant.
Archimedes' Principle: The boyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
Bernouli's Equation: P + ρgh + ρv2/2 is constant in an incompressible fluid in steady state flow.
The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal. 1 Pa = 1 N/m2. The atmospheric pressure is called 1 Atmosphere (1 Atm) and is about 105 Pa.
The SI unit of Temperature is the degree Kelvin or degree Celsius. Water
freezes at 0C and boils at 100C. T(Kelvin) = T(Celsius) + 273 K. Absolute
zero is 0 K = -273 C.
