Phys. Sci. C7

Physical Science Chapter 7

QuestionAnswer
( ) is when an object chanfes place or position compared to a different object. motion
there is ( )-( ) motion, ( ) motion of spinning, and ( ) motion when an object moves around another object. straight-line, rotational, orbital
motion must be ( ) to other ( ) related, objects
we need ( ) points reference
a ( ) of ( ) is a set of objects that are still. frame of reference
we compare an object to them to see that there is ( ) motion
Ex. push a chair down the hall, what is part of the fram of reference? lockers, doors, fountains, etc.
how do you know that these things are not moving? our experience tells us that buildings do not normally move.
can it be difficult to tell if there is motion? yes, if there is no good frame of reference.
how do we measure motion? by speed or rate
speed or rate is.... how fast something is moving
speed is always ( ) as ( ) traveled by ( ). measured as distance traveled by time
units will vary in ( ) ( ) different situations
average speed equals... the total distance traveld divided by that total time it took
velocity equals... speed with direction
( ) is a quantity of the mass of an object multiplied by its verlocity. momentum
a train moving at 80 km/h is harder to stop than a car traveling at the same speed. why? the train has more mass and therefore has more momentum.
momentum=( )x ( ) mass x velocity
p = ( ) x ( ) m x v
a change in velocity divided by the time it took to change acceleration
the symbol delta looks like what shape, and what does it mean? triangle, change
the cause of acceleration or changes in an object's velocity. force
the combination of all forces acting on an object net force
an object will accelerate in the direction of the ( ) ( ) net force
if net force is zero then an object does not ( ) accelerate
it keeps doing whatever it was doing ( ) before
( ) ( ) dont change motion
since ( ) forces do not cancel eachother,( ) ( ) cause objects to ( ) unbalanced, unbalanced forces, accelerate
a force of nature that acts on materials that are in contact with each other friction
this force always acts in a direction ( ) to motion between the objects opposite
( ) force is needed to keep a car moving just to overcome friction constant force
( ) and ( ) experience friction. it is just not ( ) liquids and gases, solids
( ) can help keep things from moving friction
a shoe on ice has low friction
a shoe on concrete has higher friction
the ( ) of ( ) depends on the kinds of material in contact and how much the surfaces are pressed together force of friction
a force of attraction in nature that exists between 2 pieces of matter due to their mass gravity
as ( ) pulls objects down, only friction of ( ) can stop them from accelerating gravity, air
air ( ) is friction of air against the surface of a falling object resistance
think about ( ) area and air resistance surface
what does newtons first law do? predicts how objects behave as they experience balanced as they experience balanced forces
an objects at rest remains at ( ) rest
an object in motion remains in ( ) motion
these 2 conditions ( ) only when ( ) forces cause a change change, unbalanced
newtons 1 law is also called law of inertia
the tendancy of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion inertia
predicts how objects behave as they experience unbalanced forces newtons second law
the unbalanced force equals the mass of object multiplied by its acceleration newtons 2nd law
f is ( ) in n force
m is ( ) in kg mass
a is ( ) in m/s^2 acceleration
force is measured in newtons
motion due to the acceleration caused by gravity free-fall
when a falling object quits accelerating because air resistance opposes gravity terminal velocity
forces occur in pairs newtons 3rd law
for every ( ) force ther is an equal and ( ) reaction force action, opposite
