Q

What does Newton’s first law state?

A

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net force.

17
Q

Multiple Choice: What is the effect of unbalanced forces? A) No change in motion B) Change in motion C) Constant speed

A

B) Change in motion

18
Q

What is gravitational force?

A

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between two masses.

19
Q

True or False: Mass and weight are the same thing.

20
Q

Fill in the blank: The stronger the force, the greater the ______ of the object.

A

acceleration

21
Q

What is tension?

A

Tension is the pulling force transmitted through a string, rope, or cable.

22
Q

Multiple Choice: Which force opposes the motion of a sliding object? A) Gravity B) Friction C) Tension

A

B) Friction

23
Q

What is the role of a force in changing an object’s speed?

A

A force can increase or decrease an object’s speed.

24
Q

True or False: All forces are visible.

25
what is the formular for calculating speed
speed= distance / Time e.g. s = 10m/2s = 5m/s
26
what is the formular for calculating distance an object has traveled
distance = speed / Time
27
what is the formular for calculating Time it takes for an object to get somewhere
Time = Speed / Distance
28
How do you calculate the weight of an object
Weight = Mass (kg) x gravitational field (N/kg)
29
What is the devise used to measure a force
a Newtonmeter
