New cards

Contact forces

Forces that are directly affecting/interacting the object.

2
New cards

Non contact forces

Forces that indirectly affect the object

3
New cards

Force

a vector quantity wherein there is an interaction between two objects

4
New cards

Mass

measurement of matter

5
New cards

Weight

force exerted by the gravity

6
New cards

Newton’s First Law of Motion

Law of Inertia

7
New cards

Law of Inertia

the tendency of an object to stay at rest when no force is acted upon it and an object to keep on moving

8
New cards

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Law of Acceleration

9
New cards

Law of Acceleration

wherein the acceleration of the body is proportional to the force exerted on it

10
New cards

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Law of Interaction

11
New cards

Law of Interaction

wherein for every action, there is a reaction acted upon the object

12
New cards

Tension force

the pulling force exerted by a stretched rope or cord on an object to which it’s attached.

13
New cards

Gravitational force

it is a downward force that is equal to the object’s weight when that object is resting on a surface.

14
New cards

Applied force

a contact force that is applied to an object by external means.

15
New cards

Fluid friction

force that resists motion either within the fluid itself or of another medium moving through the fluid

16
New cards

True

Air resistance is a kind of friction

17
New cards

True

If the object is moving at uniform velocity and the net force = 0, it will continue move at the same velocity

18
New cards

N (Newton) is from?

Kg x m/s²

19
New cards

No

Is there a horizontal velocity (Vx) when an

object is launched at 90°?

20
New cards

Yes

Is there a vertical velocity (Vy) when an

object is launched at exactly 90°?

21
New cards

What angle gets the maximum range?

45 degrees

22
New cards

What are the two components of a projectile?

horizontal and vertical component

23
New cards

What is the path of a projectile called?

Trajectory

24
New cards

Horizontal Velocity is always _____

constant

25
New cards

Vertical Velocity always ____

changes

26
New cards

What is the path of trajectory in nature?

parabolic

27
New cards

an object dropped horizontally will fall at the same time as an object that is simply dropped

true

28
New cards

In the absence of air resistance, the elephant will fall first compared to the feather

false
