CH 1 and 2 Equations
CH 1 and 2 Equations
Low center of mass and a large base increases the stability of an object
Air resistance after parachute is opened will strike up due to the sudden increase in surface area then it
will gradually slow down until it reaches second terminal velocity where it is equal to the weight
CENTRIPETAL FORCE:
The mass of the object increases, centripetal force increases
THERMAL PHYSICS
Thermal capacity = mass * specific heat capacity (J/Celsius)
Specific latent heat of fusion (solid to liquid) = total heat / mass of liquid change from solid (J/Kg)
Specific latent heat of vaporization (liquid to vapor) = total heat / mass of vapor change from liquid (J/Kg)
Change in thermal energy = mass * specific heat capacity * delta temperature (J/Kg C)
If we increase temperature and pressure, the volume will stay constant because it is directly
proportional to temperature and inversely proportional to pressure
During the transition phase between states of matter, the temperature stays constant
