1. The weight of the body will be DOUBLED if the gravitational acceleration at any place is doubled.
2. A POINT OF THE BOUNDARY, THE CENTER OF GRAVITY, AND THE GEOMETRICAL CENTER will take
place when determining whether a rigid body is in equilibrium if the vector sum of the gravitational
forces acting on the individual particles of the body can always be replaced by a single force.
3. The strength of the force of gravitational attraction in between two objects depend on THE MASSES
OF OBJECTS AND GRAVITATIONAL PULL
4. From Kepler’s third law, the average distance of an asteroid from the sin with an orbital period is 16
astronomical unit.
5. AMPLITUDE is where a mass on a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion and the maximum
displacement from the equilibrium.
6. FREQUENCY is the number of cycles per unit time.
7. PERIOD is the time required to complete one cycle of a wave.
8. TRANSVERSE wave is a type of wave where the motion of the particles moves perpendicular to the
material.
9. Both transverse and longitudinal wave TRAVEL WITH THE SAME SPEED.
10. When compression interferes with another compression, THEY COMBINE TO CREATE RAREFACTION
11. The regular pulsing of loudness of a sound which is heard when 2 sources produce sounds of slightly
different frequency BEST DESCRIBES BEATS.
12. The ration of force acting perpendicular to the area on which it acts is known as PRESSURE.
13. If an object submerge in a liquid, displaces a volume of liquid equal to its weight and is the release,
the object will REMAIN AT ITS SUBMERGE POSITION.
14. Daniel Bernoulli’s study of fluid dynamics “Hydrodynamica” it REFERS TO THE STUDY OF HOW FLUIDS
BEHAVE WHEN THEY ARE IN MOTION.
15. LIFT is the key aerodynamic force that keeps an object in the air.
16. Ideal fluids are INCOMPRESSIBLE< HAVE LAMINAR FLOW< AND ARE VISCOUS.
17. Rubbing alcohol is effective in reducing fever because it EVAPORATES QUICKLY
18. OPEN SYSTEM only allows for the exchange of energy with the surroundings.
19. The Sun and the Earth are not in thermal equilibrium BECAUSE THERE IS A VAST AMOUNT OF EMPTY
SPACE BETWEEN THEM.
20. The amplitude of vibration of atom or molecules will INCREASE on an object when cooling.
21. Running a jar under hot water make it easier to open BECAUSE THE GAPS BETWEEN THE THREADS
AND THE LID GET LARGER AS IT EXPANDS.
22. The molecules of a solid vibrate with larger amplitude under PRESSURE.
23. IDEAL GAS LAW accounts for temperature, volume, pressure, and moles of a gas within an individual
system.
24. Gases are not commercially sold by volume BECAUSE GAS VOLUME DEPEND ON TEMPERATURE AND
PRESSURE.
25. THE COLLISION OF GAS MOLECULES WITH THE SIDES OF THE CONTAINING VESSEL is responsible
for the pressure exerted by a confined gas.
26. TEMPERATURE occurs constantly where a type of process does not need outside energy to reverse.
27. The maximize amount of heat that can be converted to mechanical energy DEPENDS ON THE INTAKE
AND EXHAUST TEMPERATURES
28. Work output of every engine is EQUAL TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ITS HEAT INTAKE AND HEAT
EXHAUST.
29. Isobaric process IS THE PRESSURE OF THE SYSTEM IN CONSTANT
30. ISOBARIC process is involved if a balloon is being expanded very rapidly.
31. ISOTHERMAL process is involved if a balloon is being expanded very slowly by the addition of heat.
32. RAISING ITS TEMOERATURE AND DOING EXTERNAL WORK results if there is an addition of heat at
constant pressure to a gas.
33. Fore a thermodynamic process to be reversible, the temperature between hot body and working
substance is ZERO.
34. If heat be exchange in a reversible manner, ENTROPY of the working substance will change
accordingly.
35. THE GIBBS FREE ENERGY OF THE SYSTEM REACHES A MINIMUM will always apply when a reversible
chemical reaction has attained equilibrium.
36. The primary function of heat engine is to CONVERT HEAT INTO WORK
37. TORQUE is the quantity that describes the ability of a force to rotate an object.
38. The moment of inertia of an object is greater when most of the mass is located NEAR THE AXIS
39. The object is in equilibrium if the net force is equal to zero.
40. CENTROID refers to the focus of the instantaneous center of a moving rigid body.
41. WAVELENGTH is the distance between crest to crest.
42. SURFACE WAVE has both transverse wave and longitudinal wave and it separate the two different
media the waves travel through.
43. AMPLITUDE is the distance from the rest positions to the crest.
44. WAVE is the energy that causes a vibration to move through a medium.
