The type of motion that describes a consistent change in velocity over time
Constant Acceleration
A force that usually acts against the motion of an object on a surface
What is a Friction Force?
The symbol for final velocity
What is Vf?
The total change in velocity of an object divided by time.
Average Acceleration
the formula used to find the force on an object.
What is F = ma?
A 150kg Olympic athlete accelerates a shot put to 15m/s2. What force did he put on the shot put?
2250 N
This is the type of acceleration an object has when speeding up
What is Positive Acceleration?
The vector sum of all forces on an object.
What is Net Force?
A baby elephant walks at a velocity of 4m/s. Suddenly, a lion begins to chase it, so the elephant starts to run away. If the elephant reaches a final velocity of 29 m/s after 5 seconds, what was its acceleration?
5 m/s2
The 'support force' that pushes perpendicular to the surface an object is resting on
What is the Normal Force?
A 2,500 kilogram car is pushed using a force of 8,000 Newtons. What is the acceleration on the car?
3.2 m/s2
This is the velocity of an object that goes the opposite direction
What is negative velocity?
9.8 m/s2
What is the acceleration due to gravity?
When the net force on an object is zero, the forces are ___________ .
balanced
