What is the property of matter which is the reluctance to change its state of rest of uniform motion?
inertia
“If no net force acts on it, an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at constant velocity”. The statement is the
first law of motion
“When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts on the first a force of the same magnitude but in the opposite direction”. The statement is the
third law of motion
“The net force acting on an object equals the product of the mass and the acceleration of the object. The direction of the force is the same as that of the acceleration”. The statement is the
second law of motion
What refers to the force with which the earth attracts an object?
weight
How many kilograms are there in 1 slug?
14.6
What refers to an actual force that arises to oppose relative motion between contracting surfaces?
friction
What refers to the force between two stationary surfaces in contact that prevents motion between them?
Static friction
What is the maximum value of the static friction?
starting friction
What is TRUE between kinetic friction and static friction?
kinetic friction is always less than static friction
What is another term for kinetic friction?
sliding friction
For the same material in contact, what is TRUE between coefficient of static friction and coefficient of kinetic friction?
coefficient of static friction is always greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction
Efficiency of a machine is the ratio of:
power input to power output
What is the energy something possesses by virtue if its motion?
kinetic energy
What is the energy something possesses by virtue of its mass?
rest energy
What is the energy something possess by virtue of its position?
potential energy
When the vector sum of the external forces acting on the system of particles equals zero, the total linear momentum of the system
remains constant
What is conserved in an elastic collision?
kinetic energy
Inelastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved. This statement is
false
What will happen to the kinetic energy if it is a completely inelastic collision?
it is lost to maximum value
Coefficient of restitution is the ratio of
relative speed after collision to relative speed before collision
What is the coefficient of restitution for a perfectly elastic collision?
1
The coefficient of restitution always applies
jointly to the colliding objects
“When the vector sum of the external forces acting on a system of particles equals zero, the total linear momentum to the system remaining constant”. This statement is known as:
law of conservation of momentum
