Packet 5: Bonus 8
This word refers to a field of classical mechanics dealing with objects under constant acceleration. For 10 points each:
[10h] Give this word, which names four “equations” describing the motion of an ideal particle with no external forces, as well as a type of viscosity measured in stokes.
ANSWER: kinematic [accept kinematic equations or kinematic viscosity; or kinematics]
[10m] According to one kinematic equation, the displacement of a particle equals the initial velocity multiplied by time, plus this constant times the acceleration multiplied by time squared.
ANSWER: 1/2 [or 0.50]
[10e] The kinematic equations can be used to show that the path of an ideal projectile traces out this geometric curve. An orbit with an eccentricity of 1 is shaped like this conic section.
ANSWER: parabola [or parabolic]
