Semester - Fall 24 Study Guide - ELCA Physics

Front

What happens to speed when the radius of a turn decreases?

Back

Keeping a high speed is possible when the radius decreases.

Front

What does potential energy depend on?

Back

Potential energy depends on the position of the object.

Front

What is the relationship between centripetal force and mass?

Back

The relationship is direct; as mass increases, centripetal force increases.

Front

Which equation relates the force exerted by a person on the Earth?

Back

Front

Back

The force applied is 150 Newtons.

Front

Define centripetal force.

Back

Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path, directed towards the center of the circle.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Front

Explain the concept of inertia.

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

Back

The principle states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?
