1
New cards

the phrase “to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction” is

Newton's Third Law

2
New cards

the largest velocity reached by a falling object is its

terminal velocity

3
New cards

when a car travels around a curve in the road,__ helps keep the car traveling in a curved path

centripetal force

4
New cards

the force exerted by air on a moving object is called

air resistance

5
New cards

a net force actiong on an object causes the object to accelerate in the direction of force; this is

Newton's Second Law

6
New cards

A property of a moving object resulting from its mass and velocity is 

momentum.

7
New cards

According to the__ when a bowling ball strikes the pins the momentum lost by the bowling ball is equal to the momentum gained by the pins

conservation of momentum

8
New cards

___Is the force that every object in the universe exerts on every other object

Gravity 

9
New cards

An objects ___ is the measure of the mass and gravity on that object 

weight

10
New cards

The amount of gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and the ___between them

distance

11
New cards

Weight is measured in units called___ while Mass is measured in units called grams and kilograms 

newtons

12
New cards

Two surfaces that are not moving past each other

static friction.

13
New cards

When you push an object that moves as a result the force opposing this motion is

sliding friction

14
New cards

Why would a flat sheet of paper and a wad paper with the same mass not fall through the air at the same rate

The flat sheet experiences more air resistance due to its larger surface area, causing it to fall slower than the wad of paper.

15
New cards

Explain why the same object would have a different weight on Earth than it would on Mars

The weight is the force of gravity acting on the object's Mass

16
New cards

What are the three types of friction and how are they different

static prevents motion of two objects moving

sliding resists the relative motion of two surfaces moving towards each other

rolling opposes the motion of a rolling object on a Surface like a wheel
