Forces And Their Effects Flashcards
Define velocity
Speed in a given direction
Define a resultant force
One force that replaces many forces
When two bodies interact what can you say about the size and direction of the action and reaction force?
Equal and opposite
What will happen to an objects motion if the resultant force is zero?
stay at rest, or continue at a constant velocity
What will happen to an objects motion if the resultant force is zero?
Accelerate or decelerate
State the two factors that will affect the acceleration of an object
Size
Mass
How do all bodies fall in a vacuum
With constant acceleration
Describe the three phrases of what happens to the air resistance on an object as it falls to earth
1 minimum acceleration, no sir resistance
acceleration decreases, air resistance increases as speed increases
The two forces balance, acceleration is zero and terminal velocity reached
