FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you calculate frequency from the number of spins and time?

Back

Frequency (Hz) = Number of spins / Time (s). For example, a ceiling fan spins 600 times in 20 seconds, so frequency = 600 / 20 = 30 Hz.

Front

What characterizes a perfectly inelastic collision?

Back

In a perfectly inelastic collision, two objects collide and stick together, moving as one mass after the collision.

How do you calculate the reindeerpower produced by Rudolph's jump?

Back

To find the reindeerpower, use the formula: (mass * gravity * height) / time, then divide by 746.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy (PE) = mass (m) * gravity (g) * height (h).
