zero
The SI unit of force is the ________.
A) m/s
b) M
c) Newton
d) Joules
c) Newton
If an object has a mass of 10 kg and experiences a frictional force of 30 N, what is the coefficient of friction?
a) 0.3
b) 1.0
c) 3.0
d) 10.0
a) .3
Give an example of Newton's third law in action
rocket lifting off, jumping on the trampoline, etc..
This is an attractive force between any two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them
Gravity
Two people are pushing a box with equal forces in opposite directions. What type of forces are acting on the car?
a) Balanced forces
b) Unbalanced forces
c) Frictional forces
d) Gravitational forces
A) balanced forces
This is the product of an object's mass and velocity
What is momentum
Unbalanced forces cause objects to
Accelerate
A car is being pulled by a tow truck. What is the car's mass if the net force on the car is 6,000 N and it has an acceleration of 3.0 m/s2?
What is 2,000 kg
State Newton's Third Law
When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second one exerts a force on the first that is equal and opposite in direction
What unit is a Newton equal to?
kg x m/s^2
Explain why weight and mass are not the same
Weight is dependent upon gravity and mass is not
Calculate the net force acting on an object with a mass of 8 kg and an acceleration of 4 m/s².
a) 2 N
b) 16 N
c) 32 N
d) 48 N
c) 32N
