Question
Answer
what is force?   -a push or a pull -all forces must have size and direction -measured by Newtons -more Newtons=greater the force  
🗑
what is net-force?   -an unbalanced force that will not equal zero -a balanced for that will equal zero  
🗑
what is Newton?   the unit for force  
🗑
what are balanced forces?   when the force is applied there is no movement  
🗑
what are unbalanced forces?   it produces a change in motion  
🗑
what is friction?   a force that apposes motion between two surfaces that are touching  
🗑
what is inertia?   the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion  
🗑
what is gravity?   an attractive force between any two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them  
🗑
what is mass?   the amount of matter in an object  
🗑
what is weight?   the gravitational force exerted on an object  
🗑
MEMORIZE!!!   NEWTON'S 3 LAWS (WITH MOM) put me in the incorrect box LOOK AT STUDY GUIDE!!!  
🗑
it takes ________ force to accelerate a light object?   less  
🗑
it takes ________ force to accelerate a heavy object?   more  
🗑
as mass is ____________ acceleration decreases?   increased  
🗑
as mass is ____________ acceleration increases?   decreased  
🗑
what is the formula for Newton's second law?   acceleration=force/mass  
🗑
balanced forces acting on an object.....   no movement  
🗑
unbalanced forces acting on an object....   produce movement  
🗑
what are the 4 types of friction?   rolling, sliding,fluid,and static  
🗑
what frictional forces would a truck experience as more weight is added to its bed?   as more mass is added to the truck, the more force pushes it  
🗑
what are some things you can do to increase frictional force?   add salt or sand to an icy road  
🗑
what are some things you can do to decrease frictional force?   add lubricants  
🗑
what is the Law of Universal Gravitation?   states that the gravitational force increases as the mass of either object increases and as the objects move closer (relationship between mass and distance)  
🗑
as you increase the mass of an object what does this do to its force of gravity?   increase mass, increase gravity  
🗑
as you increase the distance between objects, what does this do to the force of gravity?   increase distance, decrease gravity  
🗑
IMPORTANT   review open note quiz review class notes bring calculator memorize formulas  
🗑
FORMULAS   force=mass x acceleration mass= force divided by acceleration acceleration= force divided by mass mass=weight divided by 9.8 m/s squared weight=mass x 9.8 m/s squared  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
