DAILY DOUBLE WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

Define air resistance.

The friction acting upon something moving through air.

100

In 90 seconds, list 4 factors that affect terminal velocity and how they affect it.

Mass- more massive objects have higher terminal velocity

Air density- higher air density- reduces terminal velocity

Shape/Drag- streamlined/dynamic objects have higher terminal velocity

Frontal/cross sectional area- larger areas have lower terminal velocity

200

What causes an object to accelerate?

Unbalanced forces

200

What is a free body diagram?

A diagram showing all the forces acting on an object.

200

For a constant force, an increase in the area of contact will result in ________________.

a decrease in pressure. 

200

Define Free Fall

When an object is falling due to acceleration due to gravity, with no air resistance or any other forces action on it.

200
Write an equation that shows the relationship between Weight, Net Force, and Air resistance of an object falling through air.

Fnet= W-Fair

300

If both the net force acting on an object and its mass double, what happens to the acceleration?

It stays the same

300

In what direction does friction act?

In the opposite direction of the force being applied.

300

Define Pressure

Force per unit area

300

Acceleration of an object in free fall is ___________.

Always constant

300

Using precise language, explain how we find the value of air resistance of an object that has reached terminal velocity.

By finding the magnitude of whatever force was accelerating it because they are both equal.

400

One newton per square meter is equal to one_____.

Pascal

400

What is the equation for weight and why is that the equation?

W=mg

Newtons second Law gives us F=ma

Weight is force due to gravity and g is acceleration due to gravity.

400

State Newtons Second Law of Motion and its 3 main points.

State Newtons Second Law states that:

- the acceleration produced by a net force on an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force,

- is in the same direction as the net force, 

-and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

500
