Ch. 2 & 3 Flashcards
Newtons 1st Law
anything in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force
Newtons 2nd Law
the amount of acceleration depends on the size of mass and the amount of force
Newtons 3rd Law
for every action there is an equal bot opposite reaction
3 factors that affect whether or not an object will reach terminal velocity
-height at which it was dropped
-mass of the object
-surface area of object
4 factors that affect the amount of friction between surfaces
-type of material
-texture
-surface area in contact
-force pushing
2 factors that affect the amount of air resistance on an object
-velocity of object
-amount of surface area
2 factors that determine how much gravitational force between objects
-mass of object
-distance between objects
Law of Conservation of Momentum
when an object collides with another object the momentum of the original object will give some or all momentum to the other object
define 4 fundamental forces
strong nuclear -holds nucleus together
electromagnetic -force between charged particles
weak nuclear-force that decays neutron to a proton
gravity -force between 2 objects
