Q

Define Weight

A

The weight of an object is the force of the Earths Gravity

19
Q

Newton’s first law of motion

A

states that every body will remain in a state of rest or travelling with a constant velocity unless an unbalanced external force acts on it

20
Q

Newton’s second law of motion

A

states that when an unbalanced force acts on a body the rate of change of the body’s momentum is directly proportional to the force and takes place in the direction of the force

21
Q

Newton’s third law of motion

A

states that if a body A exerts a force on a body B, then body B exerts an equal but opposite force on body A, i.e. action and reaction are equal and opposite

22
Q

What is the definition of work in physics?

A

Work is defined as the product of the force applied to an object and the distance over which that force is applied in the direction of the force.

23
Q

True or False: Work is a scalar quantity.

24
Q

Fill in the blank: The formula for calculating work is _____ = Force × Distance × cos(θ).

25
What unit is work measured in?
