Question
Answer
Newton's First Law   An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. "Inertia"  
🗑
Newton's Second Law   An object acted upon by a force will accelerate in the direction of the force.  
🗑
Newton's Third Law   For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  
🗑
Speed Formula   speed equals distance divided my time (m/s)  
🗑
Acceleration Formula   final speed minus initial speed divided my time (m/s2)  
🗑
Momentum Formula   mass times velocity (p=mv)  
🗑
Change in Velocity Formula   change in velocity equals gravitational force times time  
🗑
Momentum   a measure of how hard it is to stop an object  
🗑
Weightlessness   when an objects weight "seems" to be zero because gravity "seems" to be absent  
🗑
When you push on a wall...   the wall pushes back on you with the same amount of force  
🗑
What type of pairs are used constantly when you move?   action-reation pairs  
🗑
When the action-reaction force not noticeable?   when the mass of an object is considerably larger than the mass of another object  
🗑
Why does a boat move backward when you jump off of the boat to a pier?   You push off of the boat, causing it to move backwards, The boat pushes up on you, causing you to move forward.  
🗑
Every piece of matter in the universe has some...   gravity  
🗑
Gravity always pulls toward the ____ of an object   center  
🗑
What 3 things do weight come from?   Our mass, Earth's mass, and gravity  
🗑
Gravity   The force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses.  
🗑
Gravitational Constant   9.8 m/s2  
🗑
Weight   the gravitational force between an object and Earth  
🗑
Center of Mass   point where all the mass of an objects is concentrated  
🗑
Galileo Galilei   Italian scientist who formulated laws of falling objects (gravity)  
🗑
Force Formula   force equals mass times acceleration  
🗑
Mass Formula   mass equals force over acceleration  
🗑
Acceleration Formula   acceleration equals force times mass  
🗑
Everything in the universe is in...   motion  
🗑
What puts things in motion?   force  
🗑
When an object is moving it keeps moving unless acted upon by an ____ ____   outside force  
🗑
Whether an object is moving or sitting still, everything has ______   inertia  
🗑
Gravitational force is also called ______   weight  
🗑
Weight is a ____   force (N)  
🗑
Mass is..   the amount of matter in an object (kg)  
🗑
Centripetal Force   for exerted toward the center of the circle that keeps on object moving in a circular motion  
🗑
Terminal Velocity   reached when the force of gravity is equal to the air resistance  
🗑
Force   push or pull exerted on an object in oder to change its motion  
🗑
Net Force   combination of all of the forces acting on an object  
🗑
Balanced Forces   2 or more forces whose effects cancel each other out and do not change the motion of an object  
🗑
Unbalanced Forces   2 or more forces acting on an object that don't cancel and cause the object to accelerate  
🗑
Sir Isaac Newton   English scientist/mathematician who studied and explained the 3 laws of motion  
🗑
Friction   force that occurs when one surface rubs against another  
🗑
What can work into heat?   friction  
🗑
Knots are held together by what?   friction  
🗑
Where is there almost no friction?   outer space  
🗑
What do sliding and static friction have in common?   They both stop objects from moving or keep an object at rest.  
🗑
What factors cause static friction between two surfaces to increase?   microscopic roughness and mass  
🗑
What is the difference between sliding and static friction?   Static friction keeps an object at rest while sliding friction slows an object that slides  
🗑
When was Isaac Newton born?   In England; Christmas Day 1642- March 30, 1726  
🗑
What mathematics did Newton create?   calculus  
🗑
Newton's published book was called....   Principia Mathematica  
🗑
