SI units
2
also known as the Imperial system
English units
3
factors why errors occur in every measurement
1. The kind of measuring device use, 2. Methods in getting the measurement
4
types of errors
1. Random error or unsystematic error, 2. systematic error
5
this has no pattern, it is inconsistent.
Random error or unsystematic error
6
it is consistent and repeatable error due to the kind of measuring device used.
Systematic error
7
is the closeness or nearness of measurement to the accepted value.
Accuracy
8
it has only magnitude
scalar quantity
9
it has both magnitude and direction.
Vector quantity
10
is a physical quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.
vector
11
is a physical quantity that has only a magnitude.
scalar
12
it tells you how much of something there is and which direction it is in.
vector
13
two vectors forming an angle between 0 degree and 180 degrees used this method.
parallelogram method
14
this is also known as the "head-to-tail" method. it can be used to determine the resultant of two or more vectors.
polygon method
15
it is a force that makes a body follow a curved path
centripetal force
16
implies motion along a straight line or in a single direction.
one dimension
17
the motion of an object or particle in a plane is referred to as a ?
two-dimensional motion
18
a boy throwing a ball towards his friend is an example of ?
projectile motion
19
rotating ceiling fan is an example of ?
circular motion
20
projectile motion has two components:
horizontal component and vertical component
21
the horizontal component of projectile motion is ?
uniform motion
22
the vertical component of projectile motion is a ?
free fall
23
the path that a projectile follows is called ?
trajectory
24
the trajectory of a projectile is a ?
parabola
25
the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is called ?
range
26
is a scalar quantity that does not require direction. It is defined as the total length of path taken or traveled by an object.
distance
27
is a vector quantity that requires both the magnitude and the direction. it is the measure of an object's change of position
displacement
28
is a scalar quantity. it is the measure of how fast or slow an object is moving regardless of the direction that the object if headed to.
speed
29
is defined to be the ratio between the total distance and the time elapsed of travel.
average speed
30
the SI unit for speed
m/s
31
is a vector quantity that needs magnitude and direction of a body's motion
velocity
32
the speed of a body at a certain instant of time.
instantaneous speed/velocity
33
measures and displays the instantaneous speed of a vehicle so that the driver could determine if he or she is moving.
speedometer
34
the speed of a vehicle or of any object at an instant is called ?
instantaneous speed
35
the speedometer reading on the vehicle, together with the direction of its motion indicates ?
instantaneous velocity
36
a negative acceleration means that the speed decreases through time, this is called ?
deceleration
37
the SI unit of acceleration is ?
m/s²
38
is a visual representation of relationships between quantities such as position and time.
graph
39
In a position-time graph the slope of any nonverbal line gives the ?
velocity
40
the rise of the slope gives the ?
displacement
41
the run of the slope gives the ?
change in time
42
is a motion of an object that moves in a constant pace, thus there is no acceleration in a uniformly moving object.
uniform motion
43
force has no effect on the velocity. the magnitude remains the same but the direction changes. is it True or False?
True
44
if the force has no effect to the velocity and the magnitude remain the same but the direction changes, how will the object move?
in a circle motion
45
is the force that acts on an object to keep it moving in a circular path.
centripetal force
46
It is the type of motion that involves at least two dimension, a center, and an axis.
Circular motion
47
The point around which circular motion happens
center
48
The line passing through the center and is perpendicular to the plane of the motion
axis
49
are both measures of how fast an object is moving, but they describe different aspects of motion.
Angular Velocity and Tangential Velocity
50
refers to the rate at which an object rotates around a fixed axis, and it is measured in radians per second.
Angular Velocity
51
____ tells us how quickly an object is changing its ____
Angular Velocity, Angular position
52
Is the distance traveled along a circular path.
arc length
53
is the radius of the circular path.
the radius of curvature
54
___ is often measured by using a unit called the radian.
angle of rotation
55
one revolution covers ?
2 pi radians (or 360°)
56
refers to the linear speed of an object as it moves along a curved path, and it is measured in m/s. it represents the speed of an object at a specific point on its path, tangential to the curve.
Tangential Velocity
57
True or False: Angular Velocity focuses on the rotation of an object, while Tangential Velocity focuses on its linear motion
True
58
An object which moves at a constant velocity with changing direction in a circular manner, the acceleration attributed to the change in direction is defined as the ?
Centripetal Acceleration
59
Is defined as the time required for a moving object to complete 1 revolution in circular motion.
Period of motion
60
True of false: Centripetal force is the force that pulls or pushes an object toward the center of a circle as it travels, causing velocity or acceleration.
False. it causes angular or circular motion
