Define force.
A push or pull that cause motion in an object.
What is the mathematical equation for Acceleration?
a = f / m
Forces always happen in ______
pairs
A box is pushed with 17N to the right, friction pushes back with 9N. What is the net force?
8N
Newton's Laws are named after what scientist?
Isaac Newton
When an object is not in motion it has an ________________ force.
balanced
If mass increases, what happens to acceleration?
It decreases
If a box is pushed to the right with a force of 14N, what are the possible quantities of friction? List them all.
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13. Less than 14.
A car experiences 850 N of forward thrust while air resistance is 120N and friction is 130N backward. What is the net force? What direction is the car moving?
600N forward
Draw a freebody diagram for a parachute being dropped from the 2nd story. Add labels.
Force of gravity, force of air resistance
Rolling, static, fluid, and sliding are types of what?
Friction
A box is pushed with 64N, acceleration is 10 m/s2 . What is the mass of the box?
6.4kg
A bowling ball collides with a set of bowling pins (at rest) with a force of 15N. What is the force the pins exert on the bowling ball?
15N
A person pushes a 10kg crate with a force of 120N. There s 40N of friction between the box and floor. What is net the net force? What is the acceleration of the crate?
80N = Net force
8 m/s2 = acceleration
Mass has this unit.
kg, kilogram
What is the Net Force? Why?
0 because it is balanced
Mass is 40kg and acceleration is 2.5m/s2. What is force?
100N
What is the Net Force?
50N
What force stops a ball that is thrown in the air from flying up forever?
Gravity
A force of 20N acts upon a 5 kg block. Calculate the acceleration of the object.
4m/s2
What does Newton's First Law state?
An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
If you want to increase the acceleration of a baseball when you throw it, what must you increase to make this happen?
Force
Newtons 3rd law states that for every _______, there is an _______ and __________ reaction.
Draw a free body diagram and solve for net force.
Two employees pull a box across the floor. The first employee pulls with a force of 75N east. The second pulls with a force of 125N east. The floor is carpeted, so friction resists their efforts with 80N westward.
Net force = 120N
What is velocity?
How fast something(an object) is moving in a given direction.
