Physics CheatSheet

, Data 3. Action = equal and opposite reaction Impulse Volume is DIRECTLY related to Intensity
Scientific Method Uncertainty -can’t have only one force A change in momentum (how you feel p change) Volume is DIRECTLY related to Frequency
F a, b = - F b, a f standard = 1,000 Hz.
1. Observation * units (metrics) Normal Force
Force : F = m a  F = m Δ v
Δt Intensity Range
2. Define the Problem * measuring - able to change until breaking point of Time : * hidden variable* Threshold of hearing (Io) = 1 x 10 -12 w / m 2
3. Test/Experiment * sig. figs. whatever it’s holding FΔt = mΔυ = Δp Threshold of sound = 1 w / m 2
4. Hypothesis * Data - acts perpendicularly to “holding” object Conservation of Momentum β = 10 log ( I )
5. Collect Data/Manipulate Manipulation - comes from ground (except water) In the absence of an external force, the total 1 x 10 -12 w / m 2
6. Conclusion Newtons momentum of a system is constant ”How many powers of 10 are in that number?”
Accuracy vs. Precision 1 N = 0. 225 lbs. Mass is constant m1 υ 1 + m2 υ 2 = m1 υ 1 + m2 υ 2 Decibel = w / m 2 .
Accuracy – closeness of results to a standard F= ma ------ Fw = mg N  kg (/ 9. 8) Work ( J ) w / m2
Precision – closeness of results to each other Kg  N (x 9. 8) * Need to apply force W=Fd Pitch and Tone
*use same piece of equipment to collect data* Friction (Ff) * implies motion I  volume f  pitch
Qualitative vs. Quantitative 1. two or more things must be touching Power ( watt -- w ) Notes and tones : pitch with recognizable frequencies
Qualitative – more on precision than accuracy 2. energy is transferred (heat, sound, etc) P = W . = (F d) Laws of Pitch:
Quantitative – numbers count and are important
Sig. Figs.
3. texture matters… NOT SURFACE AREA

Pressure: P = Force/area
Mechanical: energy of motion or position
Kinetic (K) : motion 4. f is INDIRECTLY related to density (D)
4. opposes motion which causes decelleration K = ½ m υ 2 (J) Beats : the resultant interference pattern of 2 notes
Vectors Potential (U) : position close in frequency but not exact
Vectors (velocity) – has BOTH magnitude and direction 5. static – “starting Ff” not moving (rolling) U = m g h (J) (W = F d) Creat nodes (sharps and flats)
Scalars (speed) – has magnitude ONLY greater force than kinetic When not given distance…(or force) Doppler Effect : the apparent change in frequency of
*time, mass, volume kinetic – moving (rolling, sliding, fluid) W = ½ m υ 2 - ½ m υ o2 (W = ΔK) a sound due to the relative motion of either the observer
Metric System Abbr. (K final) – (K initial) or the source of both

Conservation Laws Intensity is DIRECTLY related to amplitude
