Q

Balanced forces

A

Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions; it won’t change the objects motion; causes zero net force

17
Q

Friction

A

The force that one surface exerts on another when the two rub against each other

18
Q

The strength the force of friction depends on two factors __________

A

The type of surfaces involved and how hard the surfaces push together

19
Q

Sliding friction-

A

When solid surfaces slide over each other

20
Q

Rolling friction-

A

When an object rolls over a surface

21
Q

Fluid friction-

A

The friction that occurs when an object moves through a fluid

22
Q

Gravity-

A

The forms that pulls objects toward earth

23
Q

Free fall-

A

Occurs when only force acting on falling object is gravity

24
Acceleration due to gravity is ________
9.8 m/s/s
25
All objects in free fall accelerate at_________ rate
The same
26
Projectile motion-
When an object is thrown horizontally
27
Air resistance-
Objects falling through air have air resistance, a type of fluid friction
28
Terminal velocity-
When a falling object can fall no faster due to air resistance that's equal to gravitational pull.
29
Weight-
Force of gravity on an object
30
Universal gravitation-
Force of gravity acts between all objects
31
Gravity depends on................
Size & distance, bigger objects have more gravitational pull
32
The law of universal gravitation-
States that the force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe
33
Newtons 3rd law-
States that if one object exerts a force on another object then the second object exerts a force of equal strengthen in the opposite direction on the first object.
34
Momentum -
The product of its mass and it's velocity
35
What's the formula for momentum?
Mo= M x V
36
What's the unit for measuring momentum
Kgm _______ S
37
The more momentum an object has the ______
Harder it is to stop
38
More mass makes an object have_______
More momentum
39
The more velocity an object has _____________
The more momentum it will have
40
Law of conservation of momentum
States that this total momentum of the objects that interact does not change
41
The total momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless_________
Outside forces act on the objects
