Final Review

Front

What is the direction of velocity and acceleration for a car rounding a horizontal curve at constant speed?

Back

The velocity is tangent to the curve, while the acceleration is directed towards the center of the curve (centripetal acceleration).

Front

If the distance is doubled, what happens to the mass of an object?

Back

The mass remains the same; it is independent of distance.

Front

What is the relationship between kinetic energy (KE) and velocity (v) of an object?

Back

Front

How does gravitational potential energy (PE) relate to height (h)?

Back

Front

What is the characteristic of circuit elements connected in parallel?

Back

Circuit elements in parallel have the same voltage across them.

Front

Define centripetal acceleration.

Back

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration directed towards the center of a circular path, necessary for an object to maintain circular motion.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

Front

What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

The area under a velocity-time graph represents the displacement of the object.

Front

What is Ohm's Law?

Back

Front

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

Back

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