Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is force? | A push or pull |
What is an unbalanced force? | Not equal, causes an object to move. |
What is a balanced force? | Equal, the same strength, an object doesn't move |
What is net force? | All forces acting on an object, total forces |
What is Inertia/newton's first law of motion? | an object in motion stays in motion , an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force |
What is newton's second law of motion? | force=mass x acceleration |
What is friction? | A force that opposes motion when two surfaces make contact |
What is gravity? | The force that pulls objects towards each other |
What is air resistance? | The fluid friction experienced by objects falling through the air |
What is momentum? | The product of an object's mass and velocity |
What is newtons third law of motion? | for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction |
What two factures ddetermine the frictional force between two surfaces? | 1. The pressure pushing the objects together 2. How uneven the two surfaces of the objects are |
How are mass and weight different? | Mass is how much matter is in an object and weight is the force of gravity on an object |
What are the four types of friction? | fluid, static, rolling, and sliding |
What is the law of universal gravitation? | It states that any two bodies in the universe attract eachother due to their gravitational pull. This was created by Isaac Newton |
what is the relationship between mass and momentum? | The greater the mass, the greater the momentum. |
What is the relationship between velocity and momentum? | The greater the velocity, the greater the momentum. |
