Forces

Question 1

Force

Answer 1

Push or pull on an object that can produce movement and change motion

Question 2

Normal Force

Answer 2

The support force exerted by one stable object onto another

Question 3

Drag Force

Answer 3

A frictional force exerted on a moving object through air or water

Question 4

Gravitational Force

Answer 4

The force with which the earth attracts objects towards it

Question 5

Inertia

Answer 5

The reluctance of an object to change its current state of motion

Question 6

Momentum

Answer 6

The amount of motion an object has and its reluctance to changing that motion

Question 7

Momentum formula

Answer 7

mass x velocity

Question 8

Conservation of momentum

Answer 8

Whenever bodies collide, the combined momentum of the two bodies stays the same

Question 9

Summation of momentum

Answer 9

The sequential and coordinated movement of each body segment to produce maximum velocity

Question 10

Impulse

Answer 10

Equal to the change in momentum of an object

Question 11

Impulse Formula

Answer 11

force x time

Question 12

Moment of inertia

Answer 12

The resistance of an object to change its angular motion

Question 13

Moment of inertia formula

Answer 13

mass x radius^2

Question 14

Angular momentum

Answer 14

The amount of angular motion possessed by a body

Question 15

Angular momentum formula

Answer 15

moment of inertia x angular velocity

Question 16

Conservation of angular momentum

Answer 16

When a body is in flight, momentum will not change

Question 17

Friction

Answer 17

A force exerted by a surface as it moves across another surface
