(43 cards)
What is the formula for calculating force?
Force equals mass times acceleration (F = m * a).
True or False: Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.
True.
Fill in the blank: The unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) is the ______.
Newton.
What is momentum?
Momentum is the product of an object’s mass and its velocity (p = m * v).
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is not a unit of mass? A) Kilogram B) Gram C) Newton D) Tonne
C) Newton.
What is the law of conservation of momentum?
In a closed system, the total momentum before an event is equal to the total momentum after the event.
Fill in the blank: Acceleration is the change in ______ over time.
velocity.
What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?
Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.
Fill in the blank: The momentum of an object is a ______ quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
vector.
What happens to the momentum of an object if its velocity doubles?
The momentum also doubles.
Multiple Choice: What is the effect of increasing the mass of an object while keeping acceleration constant? A) Force increases B) Force decreases C) No effect on force D) Force becomes zero
A) Force increases.
What is the unit of momentum in the International System of Units (SI)?
Kilogram meter per second (kg·m/s).
True or False: Force can change the shape of an object.
True.
Fill in the blank: The change in momentum of an object is equal to the ______ applied to it.
force.
What type of quantity is mass?
Scalar quantity.
True or False: The greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration will be.
True.
What is the relationship between acceleration and net force?
Acceleration is directly proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass.
Define Weight
The weight of an object is the force of the Earths Gravity
Newton’s first law of motion
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
Newton’s second law of motion
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
Newton’s third law of motion
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
What is the definition of work in physics?
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.
True or False: Work is a scalar quantity.
True
Fill in the blank: The formula for calculating work is _____ = Force × Distance × cos(θ).
