Transcript of resistance of an object to a change in its motion
resistance of an object to a change in its motion
inertia
forces on an object that combine to give a zero net force and do not change the motion of the
object
balanced force
the rate of change in position at a given point in time
instantaneous speed
If two balls collide and stick, it is an…
Inelastic collision
the total distance an object travels divided by the total time
of travel
average speed
states that the acceleration of an object is in the same direction as the net force on the
object, and that the acceleration equals the net force divided by the mass
Newton's second law of motion
If two balls collide and bounce, it is an…
elastic collision
force that opposes the motion between two touching surfaces
friction
frictional force that prevents two surfaces from sliding past
each other
static friction
frictional force that opposes the motion of two surfaces
sliding past each other
sliding friction
Who categorized motion as either natural or violent
motion?
Aristotle
attractive force between two objects that depends on the
masses of the objects and the distance between them
gravity
gravitational force exerted on an object
weight
acceleration of an object toward the center of a curved
path or circular path
centripetal acceleration
states that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force on the first object that is equal in strength and in the opposite
direction
Newton’s Third Law
property of a moving object that equals its mass times its
velocity
momentum
a push or pull first exerting force on a second
What is a force?
The overall force of an object after all of the forces are added
together.
Net force
Equal forces acting on one object in an opposite directions.
Balanced forces
When you add equal forces exerted in opposite directions,
the net force is _____.
zero
An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object that is moving at constant velocity will continue moving at constant velocity unless acted upon by a unbalanced force.
Newton's First Law of Motion
What is mass?
The amount of matter in an object.
How can mass be defined in terms of inertia?
Mass can be defined as a measure of the intertia of an object.
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
F=ma
The net force of an object is equal to the product (addition) of its acceleration and mass.
P stands for
momentum
p=
p=mv
Change in p=
Change in p = F*t
F=
F=ma
p initial =
p final
How does an increase of force affect acceleration?
An increase of force causes an increase in acceleration.
What two factors does friction depend on?
1. The types of surfaces involved 2. How hard the surfaces push together
The force that pulls objects towards earth?
Gravity
What is acceleration due to the force of gravity?
9.8 m/s squared
An object that is thrown and falls freely is called…
A Projectile
The greater surface area of an object, the greater the
________ through the air.
Air resistance
What is weight?
The force of gravity on an object at the surface of a planet.
The greatest velocity a falling object reaches is the …
terminal velocity
How is weight different than mass?
Weight is the measure of the force of gravity and mass is a measure of the amount of matter in a object.
Weight is measured in ________.
Newtons or pounds
Mass is measured in
Kilograms, not pounds
The gravitational force of attraction varies with what two
factors?
Mass + Distance
What is the unit of measure for momentum?
kg x m/s
What is the equation you use to determine momentum?
mass x velocity
What of the law of conversation of momentum state?
The total momentum of the objects that interact does not change.
If two clay balls collide, how can you find their new momentum?
Combine both of their old momentums together
change in velocity over time
Acceleration
Total distance an object travels divided by the total time it
takes to travel that distance.
Average Speed
A force is exerted on a box and an equal and opposite force is
exerted by the box. What law explains this?
Newton's third law of motion
What unit is force measured in?
Newtons
____________ describes how velocity changes with time.
acceleration
When an object is at rest, what is its speed?
0 m/s
increasing speed, decreasing speed, changing direction
examples of acceleration
