PHYS 1110 Quiz 4 Study Guide

This exam asesses course standards 25–31.  If you can do the tasks described below, you will satisfy the standards on the exam.

Standard 25. Energy formulas

Given two, find the third: a body's speed, its mass, and its kinetic energy.

Given two, find the third: a body's mass, its elevation, and its gravitational potential energy.

Standard 26. Conservation of energy

Classify forces as conservative or non-conservative.

Identify the change in mechanical energy during a process involving only conservative forces.

Identify the change in mechanical energy during a process involving non-conservative forces.

Recognize special cases of kinetic or potential energy in multi-step processes. (Zero kinetic energy, zero or maximum potential energy, etc.)

Use conservation of energy to determine unknown quantities in processes in which a body's speed, elevation, spring compression, etc. change.

Standard 27. Total momentum

Categorize momentum as a vector or scalar.

Given an object's mass and velocity, calculate its momentum.

Identify the SI unit of momentum, and decompose it into m, kg, and s.

Calculate the total momentum of an isolated set of objects given their initial masses and velocities.

Standard 28. Impulse-Momentum

Given two, find the third: impulse, duration, force.

Identify the SI unit of impulse, and decompose it into m, kg, and s.

Categorize impulse as a vector or scalar.

Given the impulse applied to a body in a process, find the change in its momentum.
