Cards in this deck (21)

  1. 1uniform circular motionmotion of object in circular path at constant speed
  2. 2rotational angle-ratio of arc length to radius curvature on circular path
    -Δθ = Δs/r
  3. 3arc length-distance traveled by object along circular path
    -Δs
  4. 4radius of curvature-radius of circular path
    -r
  5. 5revolution-2π radians
  6. 6angular velocity-rate of change of angle with which object moves on a circular path
    -ω = Δθ/Δt
    -ω = v/r
  7. 7linear velocity-v = rω
  8. 8centripetal acceleration-acceleration of object moving in circle directed toward center
    -a_c = v^2/r
    -a_c = rω^2
  9. 9centripetal force-any net force causing uniform circular motion
    -perpendicular to path and pointing to center
  10. 10centripetal force formulas-F_c = ma_c
    -F_c = m (v^2/r)
    -F_c = mrω^2
  11. 11centrifugal force-fictitious force that tends to throw an object off when the object is rotating in a non-inertial frame of reference
  12. 12banked curve-curve in road that is sloping in a manner that helps a vehicle negotiate the curve
  13. 13static coefficient of friction for banked curve-μ_s = v^2/rg
  14. 14angle of ideally banked curve-θ = tan^-1 (v^2/rg)
  15. 15Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation-every particle in universe attracts every other particle with force along line joining them
    -force is directly proportional to product of masses and inversely proportional to square of distance between them
  16. 16Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation formulas-F = G mM/r^2
    -G = 6.674 x 10^-11 N x m^2/kg^2
    -m and M: masses of two bodies
    -r: distance between centers of mass
    -F: magnitude of gravitational force
    -mg = G mM/r^2
    -g = GM/r^2
  17. 17Kepler's First Laworbit of each planet about Sun is ellipse with Sun at one focus
  18. 18Kepler's Second Laweach planet moves so that imaginary line drawn from Sun to planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times
  19. 19Kepler's Third Law-ratio of squares of period of any two planets about Sun is equal to ratio of cubes of their average distances from Sun
    -(T_1)^2/ (T_2 )^2 = (r_1)^3/(r_2)^3
  20. 20Period and radius of a satellite’s orbit about a larger body M-T^2 = 4π^2/GM x r^3
    -r^3 / T^2 = GM/4π^2
  21. 21altitude of satellite above Earthh = r - R_E
    -r: distance between satellite and Earth
    -R_E: radius of Earth
