Question
Answer
What is a Force?   a push or pull exerted on an object  
🗑
What is a Newton?   a unit of measure that equals that  
🗑
Define Net Force?   The overall force on an object wham all the individual forces action on it are adding  
🗑
Unbalanced forces are?   Forces that produce a nonzero net force which changes an objects motion  
🗑
What is the SI unit for force?   Newtons  
🗑
What is Free fall?   When the only force action on an object is gravity  
🗑
Mass is?   a measure of the amount of matter in an object  
🗑
Define Gravity?   the force that pulls objects together  
🗑
Terminal Velocity is?   The greatest velocity that an object can reach  
🗑
What type of motion is in act where a basketball is thrown in a hoop?   Projectile Motion  
🗑
What is Friction?   The force that two surfaces exert on each other  
🗑
What are the two factors that friction depends on?   How hard the surfaces pouch together and the type of surface it is  
🗑
What is Static Friction?   The friction that acts on objects that are not moving  
🗑
What is Sliding Friction?   when two solid surface slide over each other  
🗑
What is Rolling Friction?   When an object rolls across a surface  
🗑
What is Fluid Friction?   When a solid object moves through a fluid or gas  
🗑
The law of universal gravitation states?   That the force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe  
🗑
What two factors affect the gravitational attraction between objects?   Mass and distance  
🗑
What is the definition of Weight?   The force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet  
🗑
What is Newtons First Law of Motion?   An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object moving at a constant velocity will continue moving at a constant velocity, unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.  
🗑
What is it when the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion?   Inertia  
🗑
What is Newtons Second Law of Motion?   Acceleration depends on the objects mass and on the net force acting on the object  
🗑
What is Newtons Third Law of Motion?   If one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object. (for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.)  
🗑
What is Momentum?   A characteristic of a moving object that is related to the mass and the velocity of the object  
🗑
How can momentum be determined?   By multiplying the objects mass and velocity  
🗑
What is the law of conservation of momentum?   the total momentum of objects that interact does not change.  
🗑


   

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.
