Law of Conversation of Momentum:
If no net force acts on a system, then the total momentum doesn’t change
True or False: Objects within closed systems can exert force on one another
True
If a girl pushes off the boards while skating and goes backwards, which law makes her go back?
Newtons Third Law of motion
What is Newtons Third Law of motion
every action has an equal and opposite reaction
If you press your hand on a wall, hand exerts force on wall and wall exerts equal and opposite force against hand
True
What is needed for an object to have a large momentum?
An object has large momentum if product of mass x velocity is large
object with larger momentum is harder to stop
what is momentum
the product of an objects mass and velocity
what’s the momentum of an object at rest?
zero
formula for momentum
mass x velocity
kgs and m/s are measurements
What happens if you increase speed of an object?
The momentum will be greater
How is momentum conserved?
In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object equals the gain in momentum of another object, conserving the momentum.
If a train has a momentum of 10 and it hits into another train, what is the new momentum of the second train (momentum divides)
half of the momentum of the first train which is 5
How does Newtons first law relate to change in motion to a zero net force
unless unbalanced force acts, object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed/direction
Inertia
tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion (when your running and stop the object in hand will move)
dummy will continue forward motion after car stops/slows
true
The acceleration of an object is proportional to the force acting on it
true
Mass
measure of the inertia of an object
mass is measure of the amount of material an object contains
the acceleration of an object depends on mass
true
Acceleration Formula
Net Force/Mass or A=F/M
difference between Mass and weight
Mass is the measure of inertia an object has, weight is the force of gravity
Formula for Weight
Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (W=MG)
9.8m/s^2
On the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1/6 of what it is in earth
true
what’s the astronaut’s weight on moon
1/6 of earth
what is true about astronaut mass and weight
weight is 1/6 on moon but mass is the same
