Forces
This force pulls objects toward Earth.
What is gravity?
This is the tendency of an object to stay at rest or in motion.
What is inertia
This type of friction occurs when an object moves through a fluid, like air or water.
What is fluid friction?
A ramp is an example of this simple machine.
What is an incline plane?
This is the formula for speed
What is Speed = Distance ÷ Time?
This force opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.
What is friction?
This is the formula for force in Newton’s Second Law
What is Force = Mass × Acceleration or F = ma?
This force makes it difficult to start moving an object from rest.
What is static friction?
A ramp is an example of this simple machine.
What is a wedge?
A moving object has this kind of energy
What is kinetic energy?
This is the unit for measuring force
What is a Newton?
This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's 3rd law
This is the force that acts against the motion of an object.
What is a resistance force?
This force keeps objects moving in a circular path.
What is a centripetal force?
An object stores this type of energy due to its position.
What is potential energy?
This force slows objects down when they move through the air.
What is air resistance?
If the net force acting on an object is zero, this happens to the object
What is it stays at rest or continues moving at a constant velocity?
This happens to an object’s acceleration if the force applied to it increases.
What is the acceleration increase?
This type of simple machine is a ramp.
What is an inclined plane?
This is the unit of work in physics
What is a Joule?
This force keeps planets in orbit around the Sun
What is gravity?
This scientist formulated the Three Laws of Motion.
Who is Sir Issac Newton?
This type of force does not require physical contact.
What is a non-contact force, e.g., gravity or magnetism?
This is the force that opposes motion between two surfaces.
What is friction?
If you push a box and it does not move, this is the amount of work done.
What is zero, because work requires motion?
