An object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by this.
Unbalanced force
This formula calculates force.
Force = mass x acceleration
A push or pull on an object.
Force
What is kinetic and potential energy?
Kinetic - energy of motion
Potential - stored energy
A 5 kg object accelerates at 2 m/s². What is the force?
F=ma
10 N
The tendency of an object to resist changes in motion.
Inertia
If mass stays the same and force increases, ________ increases.
acceleration
The rate at which velocity changes.
Acceleration
A pendulum is swinging and is at its highest point (far right/far left). Describe its kinetic and potential energy.
All potential, no kinetic
An object accelerates at 10 m/s2 with a force of 20 N. How much is its mass?
2 kg

Which direction is this block moving? With how much force?
Right, 17 N
A truck and bicycle receive the same force. Which object accelerates less?
The truck
If an object has balanced forces, it is doing what?
Not moving
These two things increase the total energy in a system.
Mass and Velocity
An object is moving 10 meters in 3 seconds. What is its speed?
Speed = distance / time
3.33 m/s

Which direction is this block moving?
5 N North
If you throw a pencil, how can you increase its speed?
More force
A force that slows moving objects by rubbing surfaces together.
Friction
The faster an object moves, the more ________ it has.
Kinetic Energy
Calculate the Kinetic Energy of an object with a mass of 10kg and a velocity of 2m/s2.
KE = ½ x mass x velocity ²
20 J

What is the net force and direction?
3 N Left
Two cars crash into each other. One is a truck and has a much larger mass and crushes the other. Why does it crush the other one despite both cars going the same speed?
It has more mass, and thus it exerts more force.
What is the unit for Force?
Newtons
A ball, before dropped, has 15 J of Potential Energy. How much kinetic energy will it have when it falls?
15 J
Calculate the Kinetic Energy of an object with a mass of 5kg and a velocity of 4m/s2.
KE = ½ x mass x velocity ²
40 J
