Q

Gravity

A

a force of attraction between objects which is due to their masses

17
Q

weight

A

a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object

18
Q

weight si unit

A

Newtons

19
Q

Mass

A

the amount of matter in an object

20
Q

mass si unit

A

Grams

21
Q

Newtons 1st

A

an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant speed in a straight line unless the object is acted upon by an unbalanced force

22
Q

Newtons 2nd

A

the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied

23
Q

2nd law formula

A

F=ma

24
Q

Newtons 3rd

A

whenever one object exerts a force on a second object the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first

25
Q

Momentum

A

a property of a moving object that depends on the mass and velocity

26
Q

momentum formula

A

P=mv

27
Q

Law of conservation of momentum

A

anytime two or more objects interact, they may exchange momentum, but the total amount of momentum stays the same
