Kinematics
This is the definition of velocity.
What is change in position over time?
This is the force that pulls objects towards the Earth.
What is gravity?
This is the type of force which causes and object to move in a circle.
What is centripetal force?
This is the type of energy an object has when it is moving.
What is kinetic energy?
This is the "strength" of a spring.
What is a spring constant?
This is the definition of acceleration
What is change in velocity over time?
This is the force which acts perpendicular to a surface which an object is on.
What is normal force?
This is the name for the physics constant G, or 6.67 x 10-11
What is the universal gravitational constant?
What is Gravitational Potential Energy?
This mathematical quantity has both magnitude and direction.
What is a vector?
This is the acceleration of an object in free fall.
What is -9.8 m/s2?
This is a quality of an object often referred to at the "laziness" of it. It causes objects to continue moving even when the vehicle they are in has stopped.
What is inertia?
This is the direction velocity always points with respect to an object's circular motion.
What is tangential?
The amount of energy in a system remains the same as long as it is not acted on by this.
What is an outside force?
This physical quantity is symbolized by the greek letter "mu"
What is coefficient of friction?
This is the horizontal acceleration of a cannonball shot out of a cannon.
What is zero?
This is Newton's second law of motion.
What is F = ma?
This is a type of satellite which always orbits around the same position on Earth. It must always be placed above the equator.
What is a geosynchronous satellite?
This is the point at which a ball thrown in the air has the most amount of total energy.
What is the energy is constant throughout the whole time?
This is Newton's Third Law
What is every action has an equal and opposite reaction?
A football is kicked at an angle of 40o with a velocity of 13 m/s. What height will the ball be at when it reaches the middle of its trajectory?
3.56 meters
A 5 kg block is on a slanted surface at an angle of 35o. If the coefficient of friction between the block and surface is 0.24, what is the acceleration of the block?
3.7 m/s2
A 8000 kg satellite orbits around a planet with a radius of 2 x 106 m from its center. If the satellite orbits with a velocity of 45 m/s, what is the mass of the planet?
6.07 x 1019 kg
A spring cannon on the ground is loaded with a 1 kg ball and displaced 0.56 meters. The spring has a spring constant of 300 N/m. How fast will the object be moving when it is 4 meters above the ground.\?
3.9 m/s
A 2.5 kg ball is thrown at a wall with a velocity of 20 m/s. It bounces back with a velocity of 14.5 m/s. If the ball was in contact with the wall for 0.023 seconds, how much force did the wall apply?
