Q

The vector sum of all forces acting on an object

A

Net force

18
Q

_____ is the measure of inertia

A

mass

19
Q

The inertia of an object is _____ to the object’s mass

A

proportional

20
Q

Objects that are either at rest or moving with constant velocity

A

equilibrium

21
Q

What condition must be true for equilibrium?

A

The net force acting on a body in equilibrium must be equal to zero.

22
Q

Can an object be in equilibrium if only one force acts on it? Why?

A

No, a second force equal and opposite to the first net force must be present for the object to be at equilibrium.

23
Q

If a car is traveling westward with a constant velocity of 20 m/s, what is the net force acting on the car

A

0

24
Q

If a car is accelerating downhill under a net force of 3674 N, what additional force would cause the car to have a constant velocity?

A

-3674

25
Q

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the object’s mass

A

Newton’s Second Law

26
Q

Newton’s Second Law Equation

A

net force= mass x acceleration

27
Q

If 2 objects interact, the magnitude of the force exerted on object 1 by object 2 is equal to the magnitude of the force simultaneously exerted on object 2 by object 1, and these 2 forces are opposite in direction.

A

Newton’s Third Law

28
Q

A

pairs

29
Q

    b. If this same force is applied to a 4.0 kg object, what acceleration is produced?
A

a. 12 N

b. 3

33
Q

A

the child had to accelerate (not the wagon)

34

b. a snowball hits someone in the back
c. a baseball player catches a ball
d. a gust of wind strikes a window

A

a. the ground exerts force on the foot
b. the back exerts force on the snowball
c. the glove exerts force on the ball
d. the window exerts force on the wind

35
Q

gravitational force exerted on an object.

A

weight

36
Q

a force that acts on the surface in a direction perpendicular to the surface.

A

normal force

37
Q

the force that resists the initiation of sliding motion between two surfaces that are in contact and at rest.

A

static friction

38
Q

the force that opposes the movement of 2 surfaces that are in contact and sliding over each other.

A

kinetic friction

39
Q

the quantity that expresses the dependence of frictional forces on the particular surfaces.

A

coefficient of friction

40

b. what is its weight on jupiter, where the acceleration of gravity is 2.64 times that on earth.

A

a. 2.26(9.8) = 3.7 N

b. 2.26(2.64 x 9.8) = 58.5 N
