The purpose of a free-body diagram

What is to visually represent the forces acting on an object?
100

The circular velocity of a wheel with a circumference of 10 meters that makes 5 rotations every 10 seconds

What is 5 m/s?

Work: CV=(Cir×R)/T = (10×5)/10 = 5 m/s

100

The amount of matter in an object

What is mass?

100

The force that keeps a book from falling through a table

What is normal force?

100

The SI unit of force

What is a Newton?

200

The net force of an object at rest

What is a net force of zero?

200

The circular velocity of a car driving a 50-meter-long circular track (The car completes 1 rotation every 20 seconds)

What is 2.5 m/s?

Work: CV=(Cir×R)/T = 50(1)/20 = 2.5 m/s

200

The force that opposed motion between two surfaces

What is friction?

200

The force that opposes motion

What is friction?

200

formula for momentum

p = mv

300

the force that acts perpendicular to a surface in a free-body diagram

What is normal force?

300

The circumference of a bike wheel with a circular velocity of 2 m/s and a rotation time of .5 seconds per rotation. 

What is 1 meter?

Work: Cir= (CV*T)/(R) = (2*.5)/1 = 1 m

300

Another name for Newton's 1st Law

What is the Law of Inertia?

300

The force that keeps an object moving in a circular path

What is a centripetal force?

300

the resulting speed of an object with no net force acting on it

What is constant/ it stays the same?

400

What a longer force vector represents in a free-body diagram

What is the force with a greater magnitude?

400

Circular acceleration of a spinning object with a circular velocity of 6 m/s and a rotation time of 2 seconds

What is 18 m/s2?

Work: CV2/t = 62/2 = 18 m/s2

400

The force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth

What is gravity?

400

The force responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun

What is gravity?

400

The factor acting upon an object to cause a change in velocity

What is a force?

500

The forces included in a free-body diagram of a box being pushed across a surface

What is gravity, normal force, applied force, and friction?

500

The circular velocity of a Ferris wheel that rotates once every 2.5 minutes and has a circular acceleration of 3.6m/s2

What is 3 m/s?

Work: CV= sqrt(CA*T) = sqrt (2.5*3.6) = 3m/s

500

Describe the difference between mass and weight

Mass is the amount of matter in an object and does not change based on location, weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass and changes depending on the planet or location

500

The upward force acting on a rope with a suspended object

What is tension force?

500

Standard acceleration due to gravity on Earth

9.8 m/s2
