Forces Flashcards
: What is the push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate called
Force
What is the unit of measure for force?
Newtons
What is the sum of all forces acting on an object called?
Resultant force
Newton’s First Law of Motion is also called:
Law of inertia
In a tug of war, when one team is pulling with a force of 100 N and the other 80 N, what is the net force?
20N
Newton’s first Law of Motion states that if there is no net force acting on an object it will:
Remain at rest
What does Newton’s Second Law of Motion state?
F=ma
In the equation F = ma, what does m represent?
Mass
How much net force is required to accelerate a 2000 kg car at 3.00 m/s2?
6000N
you apply a net force of 3 N on 100 g-box, what is the acceleration of the box?
30 m/s2
Which is true from Newton’s Third law of motion?
For every action force there is an equivalent reaction force in the opposite direction.
Q: What is the net force on 200 g ball when it hits a wall with acceleration of 10 m/s2?
2N
Are mass and weight the same?
No
What will be different on the moon than on the earth?
Weight
What do you multiply mass by to get the weight?
Gravity
