SHM
100

This represents velocity in a position vs. time graph.

What is the slope?

100

This force comes from the surface, through the object, and is always perpendicular to the surface.

Normal Force

100

A figure skater slows herself down by stretching her arms out, thus increasing this variable.

Radius

100

This is the change in momentum.

Impulse

100

This is the acceleration at equilibrium for an object that undergoes simple harmonic motion.

Zero

200

This represents velocity in an acceleration vs. time graph.

The area

200

This force always acts in the opposite direction of the motion of the object.

Friction

200

The tendency of an object to maintain its current state of rotational motion.

Moment of Inertia

200

Two cars that collide and stick together would be classified as this type of collision.

Inelastic

200

This is the velocity of an object at its amplitude that undergoes simple harmonic motion.

Zero

300

The area underneath a velocity vs. time graph

displacement

300

This Law states that force is equal to mass x acceleration.

Newton’s 2nd Law

300

A ball rolling down a hill has what kind(s) of energy at the bottom of the hill?

KErot + KEt

300

This type of collision conserves both momentum and kinetic energy.

Elastic

300

This physical quantity of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is represented by the coefficient of the equation.

Amplitude

400

The slope of a force vs. change in spring length graph

spring constant

400

This Law states that the force between interacting objects is equal and opposite in direction.

Newton’s 3rd Law

400

The tendency of an object to maintain its current state of rotational motion.  

Moment of Inertia

400

In a car crash, wearing a seatbelt can help increase this variable, which decreases the force experienced by the passenger.

Time

400

This type of graph is used to graph the displacement of an object in simple harmonic motion that begins at equilibrium.

Sine graph

500

This quantity is shown by the slope of a Force vs. Acceleration graph.

Mass

500

This force is the net force on an object moving in a circular motion.

Centripetal Force

500

Forces applied at this location do not provide any torque to the object.

Point of Rotation

500

The velocities of two objects of the same mass who collide elastically will do this after the collision.

Switch velocities

500

This type of graph is used to graph the displacement of an object in simple harmonic motion that begins at the amplitude.
