100
This is just the set of objects which we are studying in a given problem.
What is a system?
100
This is the quantity equal to force multiplied by time.
What is impulse?
100
This term means that some quantity stays the same under a given set of circumstances.
What is conserved or conservation?
100
This term just means "the ability to do work or to make changes in matter."
What is energy?
100
This Newton's Law of Motion is best demonstrated when you "fly" forward in your car seat when you slam on your brakes.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
200
This is the sum of the forces acting on a system.
What is net force?
200
This is the set of SI units for momentum.
What is kilograms multiplied by meters per second?
200
This is the kind of system for which linear momentum is conserved.
What is a closed system or any system with zero total outside force acting on it?
200
This kind of energy is possessed by all objects which have mass and which are moving.
What is kinetic energy?
200
This is Newton's Law of Motion which says that the road pushes your car forward when you drive.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
300
This is the tendency of an object to resist changes in motion.
What is inertia?
300
These are the two conditions which must be met for an object to have momentum.
What is the object must have mass and must be moving?
300
This is the condition which must be met for linear momentum to be conserved.
What is zero total outside force must act on the system?
300
This is the kind of energy an object has based on its location or configuration?
What is potential energy?
300
If you want to increase the kinetic energy of an object, you can either increase its mass or increase this.
What is its speed?
400
This is the amount of force exerted by a 2 gram grasshopper on a PT Cruiser if the PT Cruiser exerts a force with a magnitude of 1000 Newtons on the grasshopper.
What is 1000 Newtons?
400
This is the quantity which is equal to final momentum - initial momentum.
What is change in momentum or impulse?
400
This is the condition which must be met for energy to be conserved in a system.
What is zero total outside work is done on or by the system?
400
An object's kinetic energy is equal to 1/2 of its mass multiplied by this quantity squared.
What is speed?
400
If you want to increase the gravitational potential energy of an object, you can either increase its mass or increase this.
What is its distance above the surface of the earth?
500
This is the net force acting on an 1000 kilogram object which has an acceleration of 3 m/s/s west.
What is 3000 Newtons west?
500
Impulse is this kind of quantity.
What is a vector quantity?
500
This is the total final momentum of a closed system if its initial momentum is -15 kg (m/s).
What is -15 kg (m/s)?
500
This is the quantity which is equal to force multiplied by displacement (for force and displacement in the same direction).
What is work?
500
Any object which is at rest or is moving at a constant velocity is said to be in this kind of equilibrium.
