Forcces in Motion/Matter in Motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A feather and a rock are dropped at the same time from the same height would land at the same time when dropped | by an astronaut on the moon |
| Newton's first law of motion applies | to moving objects and nonmoving objects |
| Acceleration of an object | Decreases as the mass of the object increases ; on the object increases ; is in the sae direction as the force on the object |
| If three balls of different material were dropped at the same time, which would hit the ground first? | They would all hit at the same time |
| According to Newton's first law of motion, an object that is not acted on by an unbalanced force | remain in motion |
| Friction is a force that | opposes an objects motion |
| If Earth's mass doubled, your weight would | increase because gravity increases |
| Which type of friction causes a skydiver's acceleration to change as he falls | fluid |
| The distance traveled divided by the time it took to travel that distances determines and objects | speed |
| ____ causes acceleration to stop at terminal velocity | Air Resistance |
| If you're riding a horse and the horse suddenly stops just before a hurdle, you will most likely continue moving forward. This is explained by Newton's ___ law of motion. | First |
| Because air particles have mass, they also have inertia that resists movement, which is called ____. | Air Resitance |
| An object at rest, tends to stay at rest this is called ___. | inertia |
| ____ only occurs when there is no air resistance. | free fall |
| A property of moving objects that depends on mass and velocity is _____. | momentum |
| falling objects stop accelerating at _____. | terminal velocity |
| ______ opposes motion between surfaces that are touching | friction |
| A change in a moving object's direction always results in a change in its ____. | velocity |
| _____ force always acts to oppose motion | frictional |
| a push or pull is a ____ | force |
| ____ is a measure of the gravitational force of an object. | weight |
| ____ is the amount of matter in an object. | mass |
| ____ is the force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses. | gravity |
| What is the difference between mass and weight | mass is the amount of space something takes up. Weight which also refers to volume is the measure of the gravitational pull on something. |
