Gravitation

Known to act over the longest distance

11
New cards

Weak Nuclear

Is the force responsible for radioactivity in atoms

12
New cards

Contact Force

Exists when an object from the external world touches a system and exerts a force on it

13
New cards

Contact force

Example includes: If you push it, you are exerting a __________ force

14
New cards

Contact forces

“If you put it down, no longer interacting… so no more force from you” This example is known as?

15
New cards

Field Forces

Is a type of force defined “an object can move without something directly touching it”

16
New cards

Gravity, Magnetic field, Electric, Nuclear, Applied, and Spring

Give 6 examples of field forces

17
New cards

Friction and Tension

Give 2 examples of Contact Forces

18
New cards

Inertial Mass

measurement of how difficult it is to change the objects velocity

19
New cards

Inertia

Resistance to change in velocity

20
New cards

Mass is a measurement of an object’s inertia

What is inertia relative to mass?

21
New cards

Isaac Newton

an English scientist and mathematician famous for his discovery of the law of gravity also discovered the three laws of motion.

22
New cards

Newton’s Law of Motion

describe the motion of all objects on the scale we experience in our everyday lives

23
New cards

Newton’s First Law of Motion

An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

24
New cards

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Force equals mass times acceleration
  (F = ma).

25
New cards

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

For every action there is an equal   and opposite reaction.

26
New cards

An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

Newton’s First Law of Motion

27
New cards

Force

It takes ______ to change the motion of an object.

28
New cards

Balanced

If the forces on an object are equal and opposite, they are said to be

29
New cards

No change

If the forces acting upon an object is said to be balanced, the object will experience _________ change in motion

30
New cards

Unbalanced

If the forces acting upon an object are not equal and opposite, then the forces are

31
New cards

the motion of the object changes

If the forces acting upon an object is said to be unbalanced, What happens then?

32
New cards

Law of Inertia

Newton’s First Law of Motion is also called?

33
New cards

Inertia

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion

34
New cards

All object have inertia

The First Law states that

35
New cards

More inertia

The more mass an object has, the ____ ______ it has

36
New cards

Acceleration

A measurement of how quickly an object is changing speed

37
New cards

Force equals mass time acceleration/ F=ma

What is the equation for newton’s second law?

38
New cards

Unbalanced force

causes something to accelerate

39
New cards

Net force

The sum total and direction of all forces acting on the object.

40
New cards

Net force

Always causes acceleration

41
New cards

directly proportional

Force is ______________ to mass and acceleration.  Imagine a ball of a certain mass moving at a certain acceleration.  This ball has a certain force. 

42
New cards

Small force = Small acceleration, Large Force = Large acceleration

In Layman's terms, what is newton’s second law of motion all about?

43
New cards

Inversely related

Acceleration is _______________ to the mass of the object.

44
New cards

double, double

If you double the mass, you ______ the force.  If you double the acceleration, you _____ the force.

45
New cards

quadruples

Doubling the mass and the acceleration ________ the force.

46
New cards

Newton’s second law

basically means that the force of an object comes from its mass and its acceleration.

47
New cards

Newtons = mass(kg) x acceleration(m/s²)

Force is measured in?

48
New cards

Mass

is the quantity of matter in an object.

49
New cards

Mass

Is a measure of the inertia or “laziness” that an object exibits in response to any effort made to start, stop, or otherwise change the object’s state of motion

50
New cards

Weight

Is the force of gravity on an object

51
New cards

Mass x acceleration due to gravity

 Weight is equal to?

52
New cards

Equilibrium

Things that are in balance with one another illustrate

53
New cards

Mechanical equilibrium

are stable, without changes of motion.

54
New cards

Mechanical equilibrium

is a state wherein no physical changes occur. Whenever the net force on an object is zero, the object is in

55
New cards

equilibrium law

Mechanical equilibrium is a state wherein no physical changes occur. Whenever the net force on an object is zero, the object is in Mechanical equilibrium - this is known as the ______________________

56
