Q

balanced forces cause

A

no change in motion (constant velocity)

18
Q

gravity is

A

a force of attraction between 2 objects

19
Q

the amount of gravity between 2 objects depend on

A
  1. distance between objects (closer the stronger)

2. the mass (more mass, stronger force)

20
Q

fall with an acceleration due to gravity of

21
Q

weight is

A

a force of gravity acting on an object

22
Q

weight varies

A

depending on the amount of gravity pulling it down

23
Q

weight is a type of

24
Q

Gravity is a type of

25
inertia
the resistance an object has to change in motion
26
the more inertia an object has...
the harder it is to change its motion
27
inertia is depended on
the mass of the object
28
higher the mass of an object, the higher the
inertia
29
objects with lots of inertia
are harder to start moving, and once moving harder to stop
30
2nd law
if a force acts on a body of mass, the body accelerates in the direction of the force
31
acceleration requires a
net force greater than 0
32
force vectors
to show a push or pull on an object, length of arrow shows strength ALWAYS LABEL
33
speed arrows
length tells us speed, it shows the direction of speed
34
3rd law
when an object exerts a force on a 2nd object, the 2nd object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object
35
for every action there is
an equal and opposite reaction
36
forces come in
pairs & have an equal and opposite force
37
calculating weight unit
N
38
force =
mass x acceleration
39
acceleration =
force / mass
40
weight =
mass x acceleration due to gravity
41
force unit
N
42
acceleration unit
m/s/s
