What is the mathematical formula for acceleration
F= m x a
What is the unit for weight in physics?
Newtons (N)... Weight is a force!
an object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force. Which law is this?
Newton's 1st Law
What Law is for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction?
Newton's 3rd Law
A baseball bat hits a ball. Besides flying through the air, what does the ball do?
Hits the bat with equal and opposite force
Can a large truck and a small car have the same momentum? If yes, then how? If no, then why not?
Yes! If the car has a much higher velocity.
In order for an object to accelerate
It must be acted on by a net force not equal to zero
This law explains why a balloon flies around the room when you let it go without tying it.
Newton's 3rd Law
The term used for the resistance of an object to changes in its state of motion, as described in Newton’s First Law.
Inertia
In the absence of an external force, the momentum of a system remains unchanged.
OR
Momentum before a collision = momentum after a collision
According to Newton’s Second Law, doubling the force applied to a mass has this result.
Doubles the objects acceleration
A box is being pushed to the right across the floor. What force is acting on it on the floor?
Friction
The unit of force is this.
Newton
In Newton's Second Law, if mass is constant and force increases, this must also increase.
Acceleration
Impulse has this unit.
Newtons times seconds
What is the Net Force acting on the object?
What is 40 N?
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
If the velocity of an object increases from 10 m/s to 100 m/s, what is the final momentum of the object if it begins at 10 Kg x m/s?
What is 100 Kg x m/s?
If an objects mass is cut in half but its velocity remains the same, what happens to its momentum?
It is cut in half.
A force of 20N acts upon a 5 kg block. Calculate the acceleration of the object.
4m/s2
IF a 10 kg object begins at rest and reaches a final velocity of 20 m/s over 2 seconds, what was the total change in momentum?
200 N x s
In a perfectly inelastic collision, what happens to the objects after the collision?
they stick together and move as one object
A 3 kg object is pushed with a force of 10 N for 5 seconds. What is the impulse imparted to the object?
What is 50 N x s?
An object is defined in physics as...
anything that has mass
You are pushing a chair across the floor at a constant velocity with a force of 174 Newtons. What would be the force of friction acting on the chair?
174 Newtons
