Eureka Force and Energy Flashcards
1
Q
inertia
A
laziness and it’s resistance of a physical object to any change in its state of motion
2
Q
newton’s first law
A
things like to keep on doing what they are already doing
3
Q
force
A
a push or a pull
4
Q
Mass
A
- mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object
- the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion varies with mass
5
Q
massive
A
- in science class does not mean size as in volume
- masses and masses of stuff(atoms and molecules)
6
Q
Newton’s second law
A
force varies with the mass and the rate of change of speed, the greater the rate of change of speed required
7
Q
acceleration
A
- rate of change of speed
- measured in m/s/s or m/s^2
8
Q
speed is measured in
A
m/s
9
Q
acceleration due to gravity of earth
A
9.8m/s^2
10
Q
Fg
A
weight or force of gravity in (Newtons)
11
Q
m
A
mass in kg
12
Q
g
A
acceleration due to gravity m/s^2
