Torque and Moment of Inertia Quiz

When two waves are in phase, their amplitudes add up, creating a larger resultant wave.

When two waves are out of phase (antiphase), their amplitudes subtract, resulting in a smaller resultant wave.

A change in perceived frequency of waves (like sound or light) when the source and observer are moving relative to each other.

Mass per unit volume.

Ratio of an object's density to the density of water.

Force per unit area.

Pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions.

Any object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of fluid displaced.

High fluid velocity corresponds to low pressure, and low fluid velocity corresponds to high pressure.

If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.

Oscillatory motion where amplitude remains constant.

Oscillatory motion where amplitude decreases over time.

Oscillation returning to equilibrium, amplitude decreasing.

Oscillation returns to equilibrium quickly without oscillations.

Oscillation returns to equilibrium slowly without oscillations.

Wave where particles move parallel to wave direction.

Wave where particles move perpendicular to wave direction.

Wave displacements add up at a point.

Repeating wave pattern with wavelength and frequency.

Distance sound travels in one period.

The change in size (length or volume) of a material due to a change in temperature.

A material property indicating how much a material expands per unit length or volume for each degree Celsius increase in temperature.

The increase in volume per unit of the original volume for each degree Celsius rise in temperature.

At a constant temperature, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

At constant pressure, the volume of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

At constant volume, the pressure of a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

The relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and the amount of gas (n) in an ideal gas: PV = nRT .

A thermodynamic process that occurs at a constant temperature.

A thermodynamic process that occurs at constant pressure.

A thermodynamic process that occurs at constant volume.

A measure of the turning effect of a force on a rigid body, calculated as the product of the force and the lever arm.

The perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of the force.

A measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotational motion. It depends on the object's mass distribution and shape.

A state where the sum of all forces acting on a body is zero, resulting in no net force or acceleration.

Motion of a body around an internal axis.

Motion of a body around an external axis, like an orbit.

States that planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse.

States that a line connecting a planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time.

States that the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of its average distance from the Sun.

The decrease in amplitude of an oscillation due to energy loss.
