increases
Term
What force is needed to accelerate a 2 Kg mass at a rate of 4 m/sec/sec?
Definition
8N
Term
If you go to the moon, then...

Term
Suppose you want to pull your baby cousin in a wagon at 2 m/sec/sec so you pull with a force of 40N. Then two more baby cousins get into the wagon. In order to accelerate all three baby cousins at 2 m/sec/sec you will have to
Definition
pull with a force greater than 40N
Term
Kinetic friction is between
Definition
moving objects
Term
Kinetic friction is between
Definition
moving objects
Term
Suppose a 5N force is applied to one baseball and a 10N force is applied to another baseball. Which one will accelerate faster?
Definition
The baseball with the 5N force
Term
If you punch a wall, your hand hurts because
Definition
the wall applied the same force back on your hand
Term
If you add up all the forces acting on an object, the overall force on that object is called the
Definition
net force
Term
The unit for Force is
Definition
Newtons (N)
Term
A net force of 5N to the right means the forces are
Definition
unbalanced
Term
If all forces on an object do not cancel out then the object
Definition
accelerates
Term
The force of gravity depends on distance and
Definition
mass
Term
A net force of 0 N means the forces are
Definition
balanced
Term
A net force of 0 N means the forces are
Definition
balanced
Term
Suppose the same force is applied to two different objects, one with a mass of 100 Kg and the other with a mass of 50 Kg. Which one will accelerate faster?
Definition
The 50 Kg mass
Term
Friction acts in the ___ direction of the motion of the object.
Definition
opposite
Term
You should always wear your seatbelt in a car because
Definition
objects in motion stay in motion
Term
As the surface area of an object increases (like a parachute for a sky diver), the frictional force from air resistance ___ .
Definition
increases
Term
An object moving at its terminal velocity will be
Definition
moving at a constant speed
Term
The only force acting on an object in true free fall is
Definition
gravity
Term
Newton's first law states that objects at rest
Definition
stay at rest
Term
If an object is in free fall, with air resistance, the air will
Definition
slow the object down
Term
If all forces on an object cancel out then the object
Definition
does not accelerate
Term
The force of gravity depends on mass and ___ .
Definition
distance
Term
Jupiter has more mass than Earth, therefore you would weigh
Definition
more than you do on Earth
Term
Which will have the greater gravitational pull between them?
Definition
Two 100 Kg masses 1 m apart
Term
Which will have the greater gravitational pull between them?
Definition
Two 100 Kg masses 1 m apart
Term
Static friction is ___ kinetic friction.
Definition
greater than
Term
For two object moving at the same velocity, the one with more mass will have ____ compared to the object with less mass.
Definition
more momentum
Term
All objects on Earth accelerate at
Definition
9.8 m/sec/sec
Term
You can pull a tablecloth out from under a plate without moving the plate very much because
Definition
the plate has inertia and resists a change in motion
