What is acceleration?
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes
What is force?
A push or pull
What does Newton’s second law of motion explain?
How force, mass, and acceleration are related
What is gravity?
A force that pulled objects towards each other
What is motion?
A change in position
What three changes in motion are considered acceleration?
Increasing speed, decreasing speed, and changing direction.
What is Newton’s first law of motion?
Law of Inertia: An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon
What is the equation of Newton’s second law of motion
Force= mass*Acceleration
How come whatever goes up must come down?
Gravity
How are speed and velocity different?
Speed tells how fast you are going and velocity tells you speed and direction.
What is the formula for acceleration?
Acceleration= Final Velocity- Initial Velocity / time
When two forces have the same net force acting in opposite directions, it is called…
Balanced force
How can you increase an objects acceleration?
By increasing that objects force
What is the difference between friction and weight?
Friction is a force that happens when two objects rub against each other while weight is a measure of gravity on an object
What is the net force?
50N ⬅️
What can you use to analyze the motions of an object that is accelerationg?
A Graph
What is the difference between a balanced and balanced force?
A balanced force will not change the object motion while an unbalanced force will change an objects motion
One Newton is equal to…
1N= 1kg* 1m/s
What does the law of universal gravitation state?
It states that the force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe
What is the net force?
0N
A roller coaster rapidly picks up sped as it goes down a slope. Its speed is 4 m/s. 3 seconds later, at the bottom of the slope it’s 22m/s. What’s the average acceleration?
Newton’s first law of motion states…
That an object rest will remain at rest until acted upon.
A 52 kg water-skier is being pulled by a speedboat. The force causes her to accelerate at 2m/s. Calculate the net force that causes this acceleration.
Force=104N
We are able to walk because of friction. What would happen if there was no friction? Would we still be able to walk?
Without friction we wouldn’t be able to walk, we would just be sliding across the floor
