Speed and direction (distance, time and direction)
Newton's laws
Inertia
F=ma
Equal and opposite force pairs
Inertia
A body either remains at rest or continues to move at a consistent velocity unless acted upon by a net external force
Inertia
It's difficult to move something heavy but it is easy to move something light
Force (F=ma)
The vector sum of the external forces (f) on an object equal to the mass (m) of that object multiplied by the acceleration vector (a) of that object
A body accelerates in the direction of the direction of the sum of the forces applied to it
The mass of the object determines how much acceleration is felt
Equal and opposite force pairs
When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body
Energy forms
Kinetic
Potential
Mechanical
Chemical
Thermal
Electrical
Radiant or electromagnetic
Nuclear
Energy
The ability to dowork or causechange, does not have mass or take up space, only visible through matter
Kinetic energy
Energy presently performing work
Potential energy
Stored energy, not presently performing work
Mechanical energy
Kinetic mechanical: energy of motion of large objects, Potential mechanical: energy stored in large objects or a mass of particles (because of position)
Chemical energy
Energy stored in the bonds between atoms, such as ionic or covalent bonds
Thermal energy
Energy of vibrational motion in atoms and molecules, measured as temperature (above absolute zero), most energy transformation processes eventually produce thermal energy as their final form
Electrical energy
Energy found in charged particles (protons (+) or electrons (-))
Radiant or electromagnetic energy
Only form that doesn't need matter to be transmitted, can only be kinetic
Nuclear energy
Energy stored in the nucleus of atoms released either in nuclear fusion (fusing two nuclei into one nucleus) or fission (breaking one nucleus into two nuclei)
The law of conservation states that energy cannot be destroyed but only transformed (converted) into different forms
Plate boundaries
Convergent
Divergent
Transform
Convergent
Towards each other, form mountains, subduction = one goes under (submerges)
