tool needed for weight
scale
tool needed for mass
balance
your___ doesn’t change
mass
what is a force
any push or pull
when is the net force acting on an object greater than 0
when there are unbalanced forces acting on the object
friction is
a force which opposes motion
speed object is moving formula
9.8 m/s/s x # of secs falling
the more mass…
the greater the attraction
the closer objects are to each other..
the greater the attraction due to gravity
net force needed to keep an object at rest
net force = 0 newtons
net force needed to keep an object at a constant velocity
net force = 0 newtons
objects with more inertia
have less of a tendency to start moving
acceleration is affected by
mass & force acting on the object
why do objects accelerate
net force > 0 newtons
1st law
an object in motion stays in motion, an object at rest stays at rest
unbalanced forces cause an object to
accelerate
balanced forces cause
no change in motion (constant velocity)
gravity is
a force of attraction between 2 objects
the amount of gravity between 2 objects depend on
- distance between objects (closer the stronger)
2. the mass (more mass, stronger force)
fall with an acceleration due to gravity of
9.8 m/s/s
weight is
a force of gravity acting on an object
weight varies
depending on the amount of gravity pulling it down
weight is a type of
force
Gravity is a type of
acceleration
