1
New cards

Accuracy

When a measured value is close to the accepted value.

2
New cards

Standard metric units for mass, time, and length

Mass: kilogram (kg); Time: second (s); Length: meter (m).

3
New cards

Weight

The Earth's gravitational force on an object.

4
New cards

Mass and weight location effect

Mass does not change (independent of location); weight decreases with greater distance from the planet.

5
New cards

Gravitational force indication

If the object is on or near Earth (or another large planet or moon).

6
New cards

Inertia

The tendency of an object to maintain constant velocity (magnitude and direction).

7
New cards

Distance travelled

The length of the path taken by a moving object.

8
New cards

Mass and weight relationship

Weight = Mass × Gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s² on Earth).

9
New cards

Free-body diagram

A visual model showing all external forces acting on an object, represented by labeled arrows.

10
New cards

Acceleration

The rate of change of an object's velocity.

11
New cards

Vector quantities

Displacement, velocity, acceleration, force.

12
New cards

Horizontal velocity of a projectile

It remains constant, as there are no horizontal forces.

13
New cards

Mass and inertia relationship

Mass measures an object's resistance to changes in velocity (inertia).

14
New cards

Average velocity calculation

Total displacement divided by total time.

15
New cards

Tension force indication

If it is being pulled by a rope, string, cable, wire, or similar object.

16
New cards

Freefall

A condition where the only significant external force is gravity.

17
New cards

Acceleration of a horizontally launched projectile

It is constant at 9.8 m/s² downwards due to gravity.

18
New cards

Newton's First Law

An object will maintain a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

19
New cards

Newton's Second Law

Acceleration is directly proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass.

20
New cards

Newton's Third Law

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

21
New cards

Equilibrium

A situation where all external forces are balanced; net force = 0.

22
New cards

Velocity

The rate of change of position, including speed and direction.

23
New cards

Mass effect on fall time

Freefall acceleration is independent of mass.

24
New cards

Gravitational force distance effect

It decreases proportionally to the square of the distance.

25
New cards

Momentum and impulse

Momentum: mass × velocity. Impulse: force × time.

26
New cards

Momentum and impulse relationship

Impulse equals the change in momentum.

27
New cards

Conservation of momentum

Total momentum in a system remains constant.

28
New cards

Coefficient of friction

The ratio of friction force to normal force; depends on surface characteristics.

29
New cards

Padding or cushioning injury prevention

It increases interaction time, reducing force for the same impulse.

30
New cards

Scalar quantities

Distance, speed, mass, time.

31
New cards

Precision

When multiple measurements have similar values.

32
New cards

Displacement

The straight-line distance between initial and final positions, including direction.
