Q

If a bee is flying in a circle at constant speed, is the bee accelerating? Justify your answer

A

Yes, when direction is changed velocity changes and when when velocity changes it accelerates

Q

“Objects with more mass has more inertia”
Justify this statement

A

If two balls of different sizes has the same velocity is easier to stop the small than the big ball because of inertia

17
Q

what is the 2nd law of motion

A

The acceleration of an object is equal to the net force/mass of an object

18
Q

More ____ an object has ,the more force you need to accelerate it

A

MASS

19
Q

more force applied to an object the _______ it will accelerate

A

FASTER

20
Q

_____ mass will accelerate more

MORE/LESS

A

LESS

21
Q

More mass will accelerate ____

MORE/LESS

A

LESS

22
Q

When the Net force (NF) is the ______ direction as the velocity the object, it speeds up

SAME/OPPOSITE

A

SAME direction

23
Q

When the NF is in the __________ direction as the velocity ,the object slows down

SAME/OPPOSITE

A

OPPOSITE direction

24
Q

2 types of forces

A

BALANCED and UNBALANCED force

25
Q

Give example for unbalanced force

A

If you’re riding your bike ,and the wind is blowing in the same direction as you r cycling you will speed up and its an unbalanced force

26
Q

Give example for balanced force

A

If you’re riding your bike ,and the wind is blowing in the opposite direction as you r cycling you will slow up and its a balanced force

27
Q

What is the 3rd law of motion

A

For ever action there is a equal but opposite reaction

28
Q

When you strike the ground with your feet, you exert force on earth and earth exerts equal but opposite force on you propelling you forwards. Why doesn’t the Earth move

A

As the earth is so much more massive than us the same force that causes us to accelerate doesn’t affect the earth(but its there)
