scalar physical quantity w/magnitude but no direction
Vector adding & subtracting * when given angle use SOHCAHTOA to find vector X&Y components Add: Head of 1st vector must meet tail of 2nd vector & draw arrow from tail of 1st to head of 2nd Subtract: place head of two vectors together & draw arrow from tail to tail For 3 or more: break into x&y components Y& Xtot=R=√(x^2tot +y^2tot)

Projectile Motion Peak height found by v=√(2gh). to find max height of projectile launched from ground V=Visin(angle) due to vx=0 so final vel. can be found due projectile dropped from certain h
How to draw free body diagram 1) Draw it in simple terms 2)Find center of mass 3) Define system & draw only forces acting on system 4)know if Fnet exist or net
First Law of Newton (law of inertia) any object in a state of rest or motion stays in that state unless a force is applied
Second Law of Newton (F=ma) m↑a↓if F is constant but F↑a↑ if m=constant
Third Law of Newton (-Fa=Fb) for every action there's an equa; & opposite rxn
Uniform circular motion Fc=M(v^2)/r=ma a=(v^2)/r
Universal Gravitation F=GM1M2/r^2 (m*kg/s^2) G=6067x10^-11(m^3/kg*s^2) determines how quickly two objects w/slightly different masses accelerate toward each other
Inclined Planes Fn=mgcos(angle)=Fy Fx=mgsin(angle) Look at diagram
Friction static fs≤µkFn when surfaces don't slide
Friction kinetic fk=µkFn when surfaces slide
Torque =F*r*sinΘ r=distance b/w point of rotation & F is applied -could be CCW or CW ↑τ ↑rotation of accel ↑F ↑r -Fg always middle of all forces(stick has mass) -mboard found by picking midpoint as τboard & point of rotation no longer at end of board
Equilibrium Fnet=o τnet=0 so a=o v=constant static equi: velocities=0 dynamic equi: velocities=nonzero but constant Fup+Fnet=Fdown
system area separated from universe(surroundings) E leaving system=E entering surroundings E total system= systems sum
open system energy(work&heat) & mass exchanges w/surroundings
closed system energy (work&heat) are exchanged but not mass

heat of transformation Q=m*L -quantity of heat required to change the phase of 1g of a substance
Work Kinetic Theorem (J, N*m) -absence of heat; adiabatic U=q so W=▲KE W=F*d*cos(Θ)=-P▲V F is (+) when same direction as displacement F is (-) when in opposite direction W DONE on system it's (+) W DONE on surroundings (system doing work) it's (-) W>0 compression W<0 expansion
Conservation of Energy K1+U1=K2+U2 so ▲E=0 There are no non-conservative forces (kinetic frictional forces, pushing & pulling forces)

Fluid pressure(N/m^2) P=F/A -pressure experienced by the object as a result of the impulse of collisions
Fluids at Rest P=pgy p=density g=gravitational constant y=depth of fluid from the top of object to the bottom of fluid ↓y ↓mass ↓pressure P=F/A=m1g/A1=m2g/A2
Gauge pressure Pg=P-Patm measure of the pressure (negative fluid/air sucked in) to atmosphere pressure
Absolute pressure P=pgy+Patm
P total fluids add each Pfluid when fluids are stacked one above the other
Pascal's Principle pressure applied distributed undiminished throughout that fluid Ex: air pressure on top of mountain is low due to atmosphere acting like sea of air where y↓ m↓ since closer to the top P=mgy↓

Characteristics of Ideal Fluid 1) No viscosity- tendency to resist flow 2) Incompressible- uniform density 3) Lack Turbulence- experience laminar (steady) flow so same velocity in same direction &magnitude 4) Experience irrotational flow- no rotation
