What is increase?
When work is negative, a system loses this.
What is energy?
An object has this when it has changing velocity.
What is acceleration?
Use this equation when given acceleration, displacement, and initial velocity.
v2=v02+2ax
This quantity can be found by calculating the slope of a velocity-time graph.
What is acceleration?
"Every object retains its state of rest or state of uniform straight-line motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force"
Newton's First Law or Law of Inertia
All objects with mass experience this attractive force.
What is gravity?
This state of motion is characterized by zero acceleration and constant, non zero velocity.
What is dynamic equilibrium?
This equation is used to calculate the force of attraction between two objects with mass.
What is Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation or
Fg=G(m1m2)/r2
An object starting at rest accelerates to a velocity of 90 m/s in 5 seconds. Determine the object's acceleration.
What is 18 m/s?
An object (m = 45 kg) is pushed with a force of 65.7 N to the right and a force of 120.3 N to the left. Determine the acceleration of the object.
What is -1.21 m/s2?
A ______ is an idea that proposes a tentative explanation about a phenomenon observed in the natural world.
What is a hypothesis?
The vector sum of two or more vectors.
What is equilibrium?
The base SI units for Joules.
What is kgm2/s2?
An object is thrown with an initial velocity of 23.5 m/s at an angle of 56 degrees with respect to the horizontal. What is the horizontal component of the initial velocity?
What is 13.14 m/s?
A spring (k = 450 N) is stretched 1.5 m from its equilibrium position. Determine the spring force.
What is -675 N?
The independent variable goes on this axis.
What is the x-axis?
This proportionality constant completes Newton's 2nd Law.
What is inertial mass?
If Force is graphed on the y-axis and displacement on the x-axis, the slope would have these units.
What is N/m?
An object starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of -1.56 m/s2 until it reaches a velocity of 56.89 m/s South. Determine the displacement of the object.
What is -1037.33 m or 1037.33 m South?
The force of gravity acts towards this.
What is an object's center of mass?
This scientist is credited with first determining the acceleration due to gravity.
Who is Galileo?
