Forces I
A push or pull on an object
What is a force?
All of the forces applied to an object
What is the net force?
A force that opposes an object's motion when two objects are touching
What is friction?
The capacity to do work or cause change
What is energy?
KE = 1/2 * m * v^2
What is kinetic energy?
The unit for force
What are Newtons?
When the net force equates to zero
What is a balanced force?
A 15 N force acts on a 10 kg object. What is its acceleration?
What is 1.5 m/s/s
The energy of motion
What is kinetic energy?
The stored energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field
What is gravitational potential energy?
When an object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force onto the first object
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
The equation to find acceleration according to Newton's Second Law
What is acceleration equals force divided by mass
a = F / m
Find the force of a 30 kg object traveling at 2 m/s/s/
What is 60 N?
The stored energy an object has due to its position, state, or configuration
What is potential energy?
The two factors that give an object more gravitational potential energy
What are height and mass?
GPE = mass* gravity * height
The two things used to describe forces
What are strength and direction?
When the net force is a non-zero number
What is an unbalanced force?
A 430 kg object moves at 16 m/s/s/. What is its force?
What is 6,880 N?
The total energy energy of an isolated system always remains the same
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Gravitational constant
What is 9.81 m/s/s/?
Two interacting forces that act on different objects
What is a force pair?
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by unbalanced forces
