ewton's First Law of Motion: Law of Inertia Flashcards
Tendency of the object to resist changes in its motion or tendency to remain in its position or to keep on doing what it is doing.
INERTIA
Newton’s First Law of Motion states:
“An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in
motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.”
The more _______ an object has, the more inertia it possesses.
MASS
Is the amount of matter that an object possesses.
MASS
The force exerted on an object due to the force of gravity.
WEIGHT
Unit of measurement of Weight?
kg*m/s2 or newton
Its standard unit of measurement of Mass?
kilogram (kg)
The ________________________ varies depending on the pull of gravity
ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY
On earth, the acceleration due to gravity (g) is equal to?
9.8m/s^2
On the moon is 1/6 of that on earth so the acceleration due to gravity (g) on the moon is equal to?
1.63m/s^2
(TRUE OR FALSE) An object with more mass will have more weight.
TRUE
(TRUE OR FALSE) The mass of an object varies depending on its location.
FALSE
(TRUE OR FALSE) Weight is result of air pressure exerted upon an object.
FALSE
(TRUE OR FALSE) The more mass the object has the more inertia it possesses.
TRUE
(TRUE OR FALSE) An object weighs less on the moon than it does on the Earth.
TRUE
