General Forces
Friction & Gravity
Newton's Laws
Rockets and satellites
100
A push or pull.
What is a force?
100
The force that two surfaces exert on each other.
What is friction?
100
An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object moving at a constant velocity will continue moving that way, unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.
What is Newton’s First Law of Motion?
100
A device that expels gas in one direction and moves in the opposite direction.
What is a rocket?
200
The combination of all forces acting on an object.
What is net force?
200
When the only force acting on an object is gravity.
What is freefall?
200
The momentum of an object is equal to this.
What is mass times its velocity?
200
A natural or man made object that orbits around another object in space.
What is a satellite?
300
The force used to move one kilogram at the rate of one meter per second per second.
What is a Newton (N)?
300
Type(s) of friction that occurs when you ride your bicycle through a puddle.
What is rolling friction and fluid friction?
300
Acceleration depends on these two factors.
What is the object’s mass and net force acting on the object?
300
Any force that causes an object to move in a circular path.
What is centripetal force?
400
Results in a net force and a change in an object’s motion.
What are unbalanced forces?
400
Two factors that affect the strength of gravitational attraction.
What are mass and distance?
400
This states that one object exerts a force on another object, the the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object.
What is Newton’s Third Law of motion?
400
An object that is thrown or shot in a horizontal direction.
What is a projectile?
500
Force that does not result in a change of motion for an object.
What are balanced forces?
500
If you were to travel to an Earth sized planet but with a mass SMALLER than Earth, this would be different . (On a scale you would have a different...)
What is weight?
500
This states that in the absence of outside forces, the total momentum of objects that interact does not change.
What is the Law of Conservation of Momentum?
500
An orbit of a satellite that travels at the same speed of the Earth’s rotation and therefore remains over the same location on the Earth’s surface.
What is geostationary orbit?
