Term
State Newton's 1st Law of Motion
Definition
An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
Term
An object will not accelerate unless____________________
Definition
acted upon by an unbalanced force
Term
What is inertia?
Definition
Tendency of things to resist a change in motion
Term
What is another name for Newton's first Law?
Definition
Law of Inertia
Term
What has inertia?
Definition
Every object
Term
If you have more matter, you will have more _______________
Definition
Inertia
Term
What is mass?
Definition
1. Quantity of matter in an object
2. Measurement of an object's inertia
Term
What is weight?
Definition
Force upon an object caused by gravity
Term
What is the unit for weight?
Definition
Newton (N)
Term
If you have more mass, you will have more weight, therefore these two measurements are _____________________
Definition
Directly Proportional
Term
Will mass ever change?
Definition
No, unless you remove a chunk of an object.
Term
What does weight depend on?
Definition
Amount of gravity acting upon it
Term
Does inertia change?
Definition
Never
Term
State Newton's Second Law of Motion
Definition
Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force of an object, is in the direction of the Net Force, and is inversely proportional to the mass.
Term
What is the equation for Newton's Second Law?
Definition
A=F/M
Term
What is force?
Definition
a push or pull
Term
What is a vector quantity?
Definition
Involve magnitude and direction
Term
What is a scalor quantity?
Definition
Involves magnitude, but not direction
Term
What is force? (Vector/Scalor)
Definition
Vector
Term
What are the units of force?
Definition
Newtons (N)
Term
What is the equation for a Newton?
Definition
N=kg x m/s squared
Term
When is an object in Equilibrium?
Definition
When the forces acting on it are balanced
Term
If an object is in motion and in equilibrium, then it is in ____________________
Definition
Dynamic Equilibrium
Term
If an object is at rest and in Equilibrium, then it is in _______________________
Definition
static Equilibrium
Term
What is a normal force?
Definition
A force produced by a surface
Term
What is a tension force?
Definition
a force produced by a rope or string
Term
What is friction?
Definition
A force that occurs when objects slide over each other
Term
What is friction caused by?
Definition
The atoms of the two objects clinging together
Term
Friction always ___________________
Definition
opposes motion
Term
The magnitude depends on _____________________
Definition
Weight and the surfaces in question
Term
What is Static Friction?
Definition
between two objects not moving relative to each other
Term
What is Kinetic Friction?
Definition
between two surfaces that are moving relative to each other
Term
What is Kinetic Friction?
Definition
between two surfaces that are moving relative to each other
Term
Static friction is ______________ Kinetic friction
Definition
greater than
Term
The friction force will ________________, until the _______________________, then you can release your push and ______________________
Definition
be equal to the pushing force; maximum friction force is beaten: the object will travel at constant velocity
Term
What is the equation for Friction Force?
Definition
Ff=,u x Fn
