Term
Newton's First Law of Motion
Definition
An object moving at a constant velocity keeps moving at that velocity until a net force acts on it. An object at rest stays at rest until acted on by a net force.
Term
Newton's First law is also called what?
Definition
The law of Inertia
Term
Which of Newton's Laws Demonstrates the relationship between mass, acceleration and force?
Definition
Newtons Second Law
Term
What is the formula that demonstrates this relationship?
Definition
a=f/m
or
f=ma
Term
What is friction?
Definition
Force that opposes motion between two touching surfaces
Term
what two things affect friction
Definition
Kind of surfaces
force pressing the surfaces together
Term
Name 5 types of friction
Definition
Air Resistance
Water
Rolling
Sliding
Static
Term
What types of objects does each type of friction affect the most?
Definition
Static----Non moving
Rest------Moving
Term
Whithout friction, how would objects act in nature
Definition
We wouldn't be able to walk
Term
What is gravity
Definition
Force that pulls us down
Term
What is the law of gravity
Definition
Any two masses exert an attractive force on each other
Term
What two things affect the gravity between objects?
Definition
Mass and Distance
Term
What is acceleration due to gravity? What is it numerical value?
Definition
All falling objects have acceleration due to gravity.
9.8 m/sec squared
Term
What happens to gravity as you get farther from Earth's surface?
Definition
It gets weaker
Term
What force holds an object traveling in a circular path near the center of motion?
Definition
Centripetal force
Term
What is always true about the path of a projectile?
Definition
It curves
Term
According to Newton's 2nd Law, if you increase the force on an object what will also increase.
Definition
Acceleration
Term
What is Newtons Third Law of Motion
Definition
Every action force has an equal and opposite reaction force
Term
According to Newton's Third Law what are equal and opposite forces called
Definition
Action-Reaction
Term
What is the formula for momentum
Definition
p=mv
Term
Increasing either of what two things increases momentum
Definition
Speed or Mass
Term
What is the Law of Conservation of Momentum?
Definition
The momentum of an object doesn't change unless its mass, velocity or both change
