| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Friction | Slows objects down, creates heat and wears objects down. |
| Kinetic Friction | Moving friction. |
| Static Friction | Non-living friction. |
| Law of Universal Gravitation | All objects in the universe attract each other through gravitational force. |
| Terminal Velocity | Point at which an object stops accelerating while it is falling. Pull of gravity is equal to push of air resistance. |
| What is the weakest form of Friction | Fluid Friction |
| What is the hardesst form of Friction | Static Friction |
| Newton's 1st Law of Motion | An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion until a net force acts on it. |
| Inertia | Ability of an object to resist a change in motion |
| Newton's Second Law of Motion | An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force applied to it. |
| Momentum | Strength of an object's motion. |
| Law of Conservation of Momentum | Momentum is not created or destroyed, but transferred. |
| Newton's 2nd Law | An object will accelerate in the direction of the net force applied to it. Object will change, speed up, slow down and or change direction. |
| What determines how far an object will move depends on 2 things? | Force and mass |
| What 3 things does friction do? | Slows an object down, creates heat, wears object down. |
| Weight | The force on an object due to the pull of gravity |
| What 2 factors determine gravitational strength? | Mass and distance |
| What attracts all objects to each other? | Gravity |
| Air resisitance | Force exerted by air on a moving object. |
| Momentum Formula | P=M x V |
