Q

what is newton’s first law of motion?

A

An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a external net force

Q

mass?

A

it’s the total amount of matter, or “stuff,” in an object while weight is the force of gravity on an object

the change in direction of air deflected by the aerodynamic action of an airfoil, wing, or helicopter rotor blade in motion

22
Q

which is greater: thrust or drag

23
Q

like poles will repel and opposites will…

24
Q

do magnetic field lines cross?

25
a compass always points in the direction fo the magnetic field it is close too, this is why...
compasses point north
26
permanent magnets are...
always magnetic, like an actual magnet
27
induced magnet...
acts normal, but if it goes inside another magnet's field it becomes magnetic
28
what is static electricity
still electricity/doesn't move
29
where is the south side of the magnet that is inside earth?
north pole, and visa versa
30
what are three magnetic materials on the periodic table?
iron, nickel and cobalt
31
how do you make steel?
you combine carbon and iron
32
what is gravity?
the force that brings you back to the ground
33
who first came up with the concept of gravity?
isaac newton in his book Principia (~1680)
34
IF YOU DOUBLE THE MASS...
YOU DOUBLE THE FORCE OF GRAVITY!
35
if you are closer to something...
you are closer to its gravitational field
36
what keeps celestial objects in orbit?
gravitational force
37
what is an example of opposing gravity?
holding something in your hand
38
when we freefall, we are...
weightless, but gravity is still acting on us
39
what is the theory of general relativity?
the mass of objects cause a disturbance in space time, which is felt as gravity
40
weight is...
mass x gravity, therefore gravity is mass divided by weight
41
grams and kg are units of...
mass
42
to measure weight you can use a...
spring balance or force meter
43
what is the gravitational force on earth?
9.83 meters per second squared
44
on the moon, gravity is 1.6 m/s² which is about a quarter the size it is on earth...
...and coincidentally, the moon is roughly a quarter of the size of earth!
45
the strength of a gravitational force depends on the...
mass of the object/celestial object/celestial being/size
46
is gravity a contact or non-contact force?
non-contact
47
is magnetic energy contact or non-contact force?
non-contact
48
is friction contact or non-contact
contact
49
when the size and direction of the forces acting on an object are exactly balanced...
...there is no net force, this is called an EQUILBRIUM

are you going to fail your science test?
idk just study man
