Physics Midterm Study Set Flashcards
(15 cards)
if an object is thrown upwards, what is the speed at the top of its path
0 m/s
what does the variable g stand for
acceleration due to gravity
what does Fg represent
force due to gravity
what is the unit of force
newtons
what is the slope of a position vs time graph
velocity
what does a vector contain
direction and magnitude
what is the property in matter to resist a change in motion
inertia
what does “start from rest” mean
Vo=0
what is an example of a vector quantity
acceleration
when acceleration is 0, what must be true about its net force
its equal to 0
how would you find displacement on a v vs t graph
area between slope and x-axis
when you push on a wall, what is the reaction force
the wall pushes on you
when you pull on a mug, what is the reaction force
the mug pulls on you
if a sports car and truck collide, who experiences the greater impact force
same for both
when is acceleration 0 on v vs t graph
when the slope is linear
