A force can be defined as....
A push or pull
100
Is the pull of gravity a contact or non-contact force?
non-contact

Is gravity a contact or non-contact force?
Is it a push or a pull force?
Non-contact
Pull

True or False:
The more mass an object has, the more weight it has.
True
100
Explain net force
the total (overall) force acting on an object
200
The units force is measured in is.....
Newtons
200
List three contact forces and three non-contact forces.
Contact: applied, friction, air resistance, buoyancy, elastic, tension.
Non-contact: gravity, magnetic, static electricity

What can increase an object's gravity?
What can decrease an object's gravitational pull on anther object?
Objects with more mass have more gravity.
As distance increases, the force of gravity decreases.
200
What are the units for weight?
Newtons

A falling object has a weight of 200N and experiences 100N of air resistance. Calculate its net force.
200 - 100 = 100N Downward
300
How would you describe the forces in this image?
They are balanced resulting in no movement. 0 net force
300
Explain the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces.
Balanced forces are those that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. The net force of balanced forces is zero. Objects acted upon by balanced forces stay at rest or move at a constant velocity. Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal in magnitude and may or may not act in the same direction.
300
Define gravity
An attractive force between any two objects that have mass
300
Explain the difference between mass and weight
Mass is the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of location. Weight, on the other hand, is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, and it can change depending on the gravitational field

A object is being pushed to the right with 10N of applied force. There is 5N of friction acting on the object. Calculate the net force.
10 - 5 = 5N Right
400
Explain why an object would take longer to slide down a surface of sandpaper compared to a surface of smooth, waxed wood.
Smooth, waxed wood has less friction.

Explain how you could get a book resting on a ramp to begin to move.
Push the book to create an unbalanced force

Venus has a gravitational acceleration of of 8.9m/s/s. Calculate the weight of an 8kg rover on Venus.
71.2N

Gabrielle and Sarah are investigating what could happen to a passenger in a car collision. A marble is carefully balanced on the trolley. The trolley is then released so it can roll down a ramp at different angles to change its speed. When the trolley hits the bottom of the ramp and stops suddenly, the marble flies off the cart. The distance the marble travels is measured using a ruler.
Identify the independent variable.
Identify the dependent variable.
Independent: Angle of the ramp (speed of the trolley)
Dependent: Distance the marble travels measured using a ruler.

Calculate the net force and direction
0 net force
500
Name 2 types of frictional forces
Static friction, sliding friction or rolling friction
500
Recall Newton's First Law of Motion
an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Would it be easier for a rocket to take off from the Earth or the moon? Justify your anser.
The moon because it has less mass. Therefore, it has a weaker gravitational field strength.
500
Calculate the net force and direction
10N to the right
500
Calculate the net force of an object that is being pushed to the right by two people with a force of 10N and 15N, is experiencing friction that has a force of 5N.
10 + 15 = 25
25 - 5 = 20N Right
