Physical Science Midterm

21 Terms

1

What is the formula for speed?

Speed = distance/time

S=d/t

New cards
2

What is the formula for velocity?

Velocity = displacement/time

V=d/t

New cards
3

What is the formula for acceleration?

Acceleration = (vf-vi)/time

A = (vf-vi)/t

New cards
4

What is the formula for force?

Force = mass x accelerations

F=ma

New cards
5

What is the formula for weight?

Weight = mass x gravity

W=mg

New cards
6

What is the formula for work?

Work = force x distance

W=fd

New cards
7

What is the formula for power?

Power = work/time

P = w/t

New cards
8

What is the formula for energy?

Energy = work

E=w

New cards
9

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy = ½ mass x velocity²

KE = ½mv²

New cards
10

What is the formula for potential energy?

Potential energy = mass x gravity x height

PE = mgh

What is Newton’s first law?

The law of Inertia

An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion with a constant net force upon it.

New cards
20

What is Newton’s second law?

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting upon the object and inversely proportional to the object's mass. The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.

New cards
21

What is Newton’s third law?

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first object.
