10 Chapter 10 Forces
Forces
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Any push or pull on an object | Force |
| The net force exerted on an object will produce a proportional acceleration. That is, if a force acts on something, it accelerates. | Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion. |
| What explains the relationships among mass, force and acceleration? | Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion – F(force) = m (mass) • a (acceleration) |
| The force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact with (sometimes rubbing against) each other | Friction |
| Type of friction between 2 surfaces that are NOT moving past each other | Static Friction – Static means stationary, not moving |
| Type of friction between 2 surfaces that are sliding past each other | Sliding Friction – example: When a car skids, its locked wheels slide over the road surface. |
| Type of friction between the wheels of a car in motion and the road | Rolling Friction – In this example, the wheels of the car are moving, or rolling. |
| The force exerted by air on a moving object | Fluid Friction - also called air resistance and drag |
| The largest velocity reached by a falling object when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity | Terminal velocity |
| The force every object in the universe exerts on every other object | Gravity |
| The pull of gravity on an object is its __________. | Weight |
| The amount of matter in an object is its _______. | Mass |
| Mass is also a measure of the _______, or resistance to change in motion of an object. | inertia |
| The SI unit for mass is | g or kg |
| The SI unit for weight is | N - newtons |
| The Si unit for acceleration is usually | m/s2 |
| The SI unit for velocity | m/s or km/h |
| Is force a vector or scalar quantity | vector - it needs direction |
| What law can be stated as “to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”? | Newton’s 3rd Law of motion |
| The property of a moving object resulting from its mass and velocity | Momentum (p= m • v) |
| In the formula p= m • v, what does the p stand for? | Momentum |
| In the absence of external forces, total momentum in a system is conserved | Law of Conservation of Momentum |
| What might the Law of Conservation of Momentum help us do? | Predict the motion (speed and direction) of objects in a collision |
| What is the SI unit for momentum | kgm/s |
| The Newton, the SI unit for force can also be written as the units for m x a combined. What is that? | kgm/s2 |
| What force keeps moons in orbit around the planets, the the planets in orbit around the sun? | Gravity |
| In the absence of air, how would objects dropped from the same height fall? | At the same rate |
| If objects of different masses are dropped from the same height (no air resistance), which will hit the ground first? | They will hit at the same time. |
| If a ball and a feather are dropped through the air at the same time, what causes the feather to fall more slowly? | air resistance |
| What is the size of the force of the acceleration of gravity on earth (g)? | 9.8 m/s2 towards the center of the earth |
| As the distance between 2 objects increases, what decreases? | The gravitational pull between the 2 objects |
| How do we measure Mass in Science? | We measure mass in kg, using a balance. |
| How do we measure Weight in Science? | We measure weight in Newtons, using a spring scale. |
| Which one does not change and cannot be zero, mass or weight? | mass |
| Because you are getting further from the center of the earth, as you climb up a mountain, or ascend in a plane, your weight will _____ | decrease |
| What law is used to explain the motion of objects after a collision? | Conservation of Momentum |
| What would cause the momentum of a massive object to be 0 N? | If the object was not moving, its velocity would be 0 m/s2. Since p= m • v, any mass with a velocity of 0 m/s2 would have a momentum of 0 N. |
| Use Newtons third law to explain how a rocket moves. | The rocket pushes hot gases backwards and the hot gases push the rocket forward. |
| Use Newton's third law of motion to explain how a person runs. | A person's foot pushes the ground backwards and down, and the ground pushes the foot, and the attached person, forwards and up. |
| What is a free body diagram? | A picture of one object showing all the forces acting on that object as vector arrows. |
| If two forces are acting in the same direction, how do you find the net force? | You add the two |
| If two forces are acting in opposite directions on the same object, how do you find the net force? | You subtract them |
| What if the forces on an object are acting at right angles to each other, how do you find the net force? | You must use pathagorean theorum: a squared + b squared = c squared. |
| What devise do we use to measure forces | spring scale |
| Define net force | The sum of all the forces acting on an object |
| If the forces acting on an object are equal and opposite the forces are _______________, and motion does not change. | balanced |
| If the net force is greater than 0, the forces are _____________, and the object will ________________________. | unbalanced, accelerate |
| What are some discoveries of Sir Issac Newton | laws of motion, universal gravitation, calculus, lenses and diffraction of light |
| Who discovered things fall at the same rate with his experiments rolling balls down a ramp and dropping them off the tower of Piza? | Galileo |
| Define inertia | An objects resistance to change in motion |
| Why should you wear your seat belt? | Because of inertia, if not you will go flying forward in a head on crash as the car stops. |
| Problem solving: What is the force required to move a 5,000 kg car with an acceleration of 4 m/s2? | F = m x a! 20,000 kgm/s2 or 20,000 N |
| What is the acceleration of a 4,000 kg car pushed with a force of 12,000 N? | F = m x a! Solve for a. 3 m/s2 |
| What is the weight of a 4,000 kg car? | Remember W = m x g. 39,200 N or 39,200 kgm/s2 |
| What is the momentum of a 110-kg professional fullback running across the line at 9.2 m/s. | p = m x v. p is momentum and v is speed or velocity. 1012 kgm/s |
| What are the 4 universal forces in nature | electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear, and gravity |
| Draw a free body diagram for a jet flying in the air | It should have thrust pointing forward, gravity down, drag backwards, and lift upwards |
| Draw a free body diagram for a jet parked on the ground | It should have gravity pointing down and the ground pointing up |
| What is the net force on a box with two people pushing on the same side with 5 N of force each to the east. | 10 N east (add them) |
| What is the net force on a box if one person pushes with 5 N east and the other pushed 10 N west | 5 N west (subtract them) |
| What if one person is rowing a boat with 10 N of force east and the river is pushing the boat with 5 N of force south? | Use Pythagorean theorem. 5 squared + 10 squared = c squared. 11.18 |
