Question
Answer
Newton's First Law of Motion   An object stays at rest or in motion (at a constant velocity) unless another net force changes its state. Often called the Law of Inertia  
🗑
Newton's Second Law of Motion   For a given net force, the magnitude of the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.  
🗑
Newton's Third Law of Motion   Often called acceleration or action-reaction law; states whenever 1 object exerts a force on a 2nd object, the 2nd object exerts a opposite directed force of = magnitude on the 1st object. For every action/force, there is a =, but opposite, reaction  
🗑
Force   A force is a push or pull and is a vector quality. The SI Unit of Force is Newton or kg*m/s2  
🗑
Mass   Mass is a property of matter that determines how difficult it is to accelerate or decelerate an object. Mass is a scalar quantity. 2)The mass of a body is a quantitative measure of inertia adn is measured in an SI unit of kg.  
🗑
Weight   W=mg; The weight of an object is the gravitational force that the earth exerts on the object. SI unit: Newton  
🗑
Free Fall   a=-g. The apparent weight is 0 b/c when both the person and the scale fall freely, they cannot push against one another.  
🗑
Weightlessness   the apparent weight is 0; apparent weight=mg +ma  
🗑
Inertia   Inertia is the natural tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion at a constant velocity. The SI unit of Inertia and Mass is kg.  
🗑
Kinetic Friction   Kinetic Friction is usually less than Static Friction. The force of kinetic friction btw 2 surfaces sliding against one another opposs the relative motion of the surfaces.  
🗑
Static Friction   The force of static friction btw 2 surfaces opposes any impending relative motion of the surfaces.  
🗑
1 Newton (N)   =1 kg*m/s2  
🗑
1 dyne (dyn)   = 1 g*cm/s2  
🗑
1 slug (sl)   =1 lb*s2/ft  
🗑
1 pound (lb)   =1 ft/s2  
🗑
Three fundamental forces   gravitational force, strong nuclear force, and electroweak force  
🗑
Normal Force   The normal force is one component of the force that a surface exerts on an onject w/ which it is in contact--nameley, the component that is perpendicular to the surface.  
🗑
Friction   The force component parallel to the surface is called friction.  
🗑
Kepler's third law   The period is proportional to the 3/2 power of the orbital radius.  
🗑


   

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.
