Give me 3 types of Field Forces.

What are Gravity, Electrostatic, Magnetic, or Nuclear forces?

100

The standard units used to measure time and velocity.

What is seconds (s) and meters per second (m/s)?

100

The unit of measure for work, which is equal to one Newton-meter.

What is the Joule(J) ?

100

The single force that is the VECTOR SUM of all the individual forces acting on an object.

What are Net Forces?

100

Contact and Non-contact (Field) are two general types of this physical vector quantity.

What are Forces?

200

What does the variable Xrepresent in horizontal and vertical motion?

What is final position?

200

The standard units used to measure acceleration (a).

What is m/s(meters per second squared)?

200

The energy an object has due to its motion.

What is Kinetic Energy?

200

The unit of measurement for Force (F) in the metric system.

What is Newton (N)?

200

This law is often called the Law of Inertia, describing an objects tendency to resist changes in its motion.

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

300

The shape of the path taken by a projectile in the air.

What is a parabola?

300

The slope of a position vs. time graph.

What is velocity?

300

The rate at which work is done, measured in Watts.

What is Power?

300

The fundamental force that acts between any two objects with mass.

What is Gravity, What is Gravitational Force?

300

A rocket pushes hot exhaust gases downward, and the gases push the rocket upward with an equal force, propelling it into space. This is an example of what law of motion.

What is Newton's 3rd Law of motion/Law of action-reaction?

400

The instantaneous velocity of an object thrown straight up at the moment it reaches its maximum height.

What is zero (v= 0 m/s)?

400

The average acceleration of a racer that increases its speed from 2.2 m/s to 4.5 m/s over 5.0 s.

What is 0.46 m/s

**a=4.5-2.2/5

400

In a collision, the quantity that must be maximized to result in a lower force received by the driver, assuming the impulse remains constant.

What is impact time? 

400

The calculated Net force acting on a 5 kg block accelerating at 3 m/s2 ?

What is 15 N? F=MA : F= 5kg X 3 m/s2

400

The formula that mathematically relates net force, mass, and acceleration.

What is F=MA?

500

Imagine you are laying in bed and you are staring at ceiling fan in your bedroom. You suddenly remember your amazing physics class, and when we talked about acceleration. What are the 3 conditions for acceleration to happen and knowing this is the ceiling fan acceleration?

What is change in speed (slowing down/speeding up) and change in direction and yes the fan is accelerating because it is changing direction?

500

The displacement of an object that accelerates at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s, starting from rest.

HINT: use the d=vi t + 1/2 at2 

What is 50 meters?

500

The amount of work done by a person who pushes a wall with 500 N of force for 10 minutes.

What is Zero Joules?  

* Remember, Work requires displacement in the direction of the force.

500

The acceleration of a 50 kg sled if a net force of 150 N is applied to it.

What is 3 m/s

*a=F/m= 150 N /50 kg

500

To achieve the same acceleration as a small 1 kg object that is pushed with a 10 N net force, a large 10 kg object would require this magnitude of net force.

What is 100 N net force?


*Notice* The mass is 10 times greater, so the force must also be 10 times greater to maintain the same acceleration. *Remember* force and mass are proportional when acceleration is constant.
