What is Newton’s second law
F=ma
What is Newton’s third law?
When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second one exerts a force on the first that is equal in strength and opposite in direction
What is the relationship between mass and the force of gravity
Direct relationship
The larger the mass, the more gravitational force will be acted upon it.
What is the relationship between distance and force of gravity
The farther away an object is, the less gravitational force will be acted upon it
T/F
Action/Reaction forces always cancel each other out
F
T/F
Forces can be simultaneous without being casual
T
T/F
The force of an object is inversely related to its mass
F
T/F
A linebacker bulldozing a quarterback is an example of Newton’s 1st law
T and F
What is a force
A push or a pull
What happens when 2 or more forces act in an object at the same time
The forces combine to form a net force
What is friction
The force that opposed the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching each other
What 2 factors does the amount of friction between two surfaces depend on
The kinds of surfaces
The force pressing the surfaces together
What is the source of friction
Micro welds forming and breaking
What does static friction prevent
It prevents two surfaces from sliding past each other
What does sliding friction do
It opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other
What is rolling friction
Static friction that acts over the area where wheels and surface touch preventing the wheel from slipping
Aka traction
What are the four basic forces
Gravity
Electromagnetic force
Strong nuclear force
Weak nuclear force
What is weight
The gravitational force exerted on an object
What is the equation for weight
w=mg
What is the difference between mass and weight
Weight is a force and mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains
What is free fall
When all forces except gravity acting on a falling object can be ignored
What is the acceleration of a falling object
9.8m/s2
What opposes objects falling toward earth
Air resistance
What does the size of the air resistance force depend on
It depends on the size and shape of an object
