Card preview (24)
fluid friction that tends to slow an object moving through a fluid, including air resistance
drag
what are the four main factors affecting drag
size, shape (the most important factor), speed, and fluid density
the science of shaping objects to allow the smooth flow of fluids around them and reduce drag
streamlining
the force on an object that is generated by relative motion between the object and a fluid and is perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow
lift
a structure designed to produce lift as it moves relative to a fluid
foil
the phenomenon of a spinning cylinder or ball causing lift
Magnus effect
states that lateral (sideward) pressure exerted by a moving fluid decreases as the fluid’s speed increases
Bernoulli effect
the ability to do work and change matter
energy
the unit of energy
Joule (J)
energy of motion
kinetic energy
energy associated with the position of an object and the forces acting upon it
potential energy
energy from motion or forces that affect a whole object
mechanical energy
the law stating that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transferred
Law of Conservation of Energy
who discovered that mass and energy can be considered two different ways of measuring the same physical property
Albert Einstein
law stating that the total mass and energy is constant
Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy
the simplest form of kinetic energy; the energy of an entire object moving
whole-body kinetic energy
what are the four factors affecting rotational kinetic energy
mass, size, speed, and shape
any of the four natural forces that cause potential energy
fundamental force
the attractive force between all material objects
gravitational force
potential energy caused by the restorative forces when an object is deformed
elastic potential energy
the second-strongest fundamental force, which affects only objects with an electric charge
electromagnetic force
a force that affects certain subatomic particles; stronger than the gravitational force but weaker than the electromagnetic force
weak nuclear force
the strongest fundamental force, which acts only within atomic nuclei and combines subatomic particles together to form the nucleus of an atom
strong nuclear force
the energy resulting from the chemical combination of atoms into molecules
chemical energy
