BJU Physical Science - Ch 5

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
A force that acts between systems only when one system touches another.   contact force  
🗑
A form of friction exerted by a fluid on an object moving in relation to the fluid.   drag  
🗑
A noncontact force exerted on a susceptible object by similar objects.   field force  
🗑
A push or pull on a system. It may be a vector or scalar quantity.   force  
🗑
The condition of an object accelerated by the force of gravity alone with no other forces acting on it. It can only truly occur in a vacuum.   free fall  
🗑
A contact force that opposes the movement of objects past each other. It may be a vector or scalar quantity.   friction  
🗑
The tendency of all matter to resist change in motion.   inertia  
🗑
Law stating that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to the net force acting on the system and is inversely proportional to the system's mass.   law of accelerated motion  
🗑
Law stating that objects at rest remain at rest and objects in motion continue in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.   law of inertia  
🗑
Law stating that the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the products of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of mass.   law of universal gravitation  
🗑
The study of forces and how forces interact with matter, including their effects on an object's motion   Dynamics  
🗑
Newton's third law of motion. For every external force exerted on a system by its surroundings, the system exerts an equal but opposite force on its surroundings.   Law of action-reaction  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
