What is the formula for calculating torque?

• Torque (τ) = Pressure (P) × Volume (V)

• Torque (τ) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a)

• Torque (τ) = Work (W) / Time (t)

• Torque (τ) = Force (F) × Distance (r) × sin(θ)

Describe the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

• Force equals mass times acceleration (F = m * a).

• Mass is the product of force and acceleration.

• Acceleration is independent of mass.

• Force is the same as mass.

What is the principle of conservation of energy?

• Energy can be freely generated without limits.

• Energy is only lost in transformations.

• Energy can be created and destroyed.

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

How do you calculate the center of mass of a system?

• R_cm = Σ(m_i) / Σ(r_i)

• R_cm = (Σ(m_i * r_i)) * Σm_i

• R_cm = (Σ(m_i * r_i)) / Σm_i

• R_cm = (Σ(m_i + r_i)) / Σm_i

What is the relationship between work, energy, and power?

• Work is the rate at which energy is transferred.

• Power is the amount of work done per unit time.

• Energy is the capacity to do work, and power is the total work done.

• Work and energy are the same, while power is irrelevant.

How does the law of universal gravitation apply to two masses?

• It states that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

• It indicates that only one mass affects the other.

• It applies only to objects in motion.

• It shows that gravitational force is constant regardless of distance.

What factors affect the acceleration of an object?

• Only the mass of the object affects its acceleration.

• Acceleration is influenced by the net force acting on the object and its mass.

• Acceleration is independent of the forces acting on the object.

• Only external forces can change the acceleration of an object.

What is the effect of increasing the distance between two masses on the gravitational force between them?

• The gravitational force increases as the distance increases.

• The gravitational force decreases as the distance increases.

• The gravitational force remains constant regardless of distance.

• The gravitational force becomes zero at a certain distance.

What role does friction play when an object is sliding on a surface?

• Friction helps to maintain the object's speed.

• Friction slows down the object as it slides.

• Friction has no impact on the object's sliding motion.

• Friction only occurs when the object is at rest.

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and velocity?

• Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.

• Kinetic energy is inversely proportional to the velocity.

• Kinetic energy is independent of velocity.

• Kinetic energy decreases as velocity increases.
