26
On earth, the strength of gravity is _________
10 N/Kg
27
On the moon, the strength of gravity is _________
1.6 N/Kg
28
Name 3 different types of force
``` Gravity/weight Reaction force Electrostatic force Lift Tension Thrust Drag ```
29
When an object moves in a fluid (air/water), it feels _________ in the opposite direction to its motion
Drag
30
2 ways in which friction occurs
Between solid which are sliding past each other Resistance or drag from fluids Between solid surfaces which are gripping (table)
31
In a fluid, what happens to friction as the speed increases
The friction also increases
32
How can you reduce friction between 2 solids
Lubricant such as oil or grease between the surfaces
33
Due to a build up of resistance, the rate of acceleration slows down however the object is still _______________
Accelerating (getting faster)
34
Eventually once an object can't accelerate any more it has reached its _____________ _____________
Terminal velocity
35
The accelerating force acting on all falling objects is ___________ and it would make them all accelerate at the same rate if it wasn't for _______ _______________
Gravity | Air resistance
36
If an object such as a car is moving at a constant velocity, what do we know about the resultant force
It is zero (all the forces are balanced)
37
What does an unbalanced force produce
Acceleration or decceleration
38
The bigger the force, the ____________ the acceleration or deceleration
Greater
39
The bigger the mass, the _____________ the acceleration or deceleration
Smaller
40
To get a big mass to accelerate as fast as a small mass it needs a bigger __________
Force
41
A resultant force produces acceleration and the formula for this is
F = ma
42
In the formula F = ma, F must always be the _____________ _________
Resultant force
43
If object A exerts a force on object B then object B exerts the exact ____________ on object A
Opposite
