🍇Gr.11 Physics T1 Flashcards
What is a normal force?
The force or component of a force which a surface exerts on an object with which it is in contact, and which is perpendicular to the surface
What is frictional force?
The force that opposes the motion of an object no which acts parallel to the surface.
What are the 2 types of friction?
Static friction and kinetic friction
What causes changes in maximum static friction?
How rough/ smooth the surface is.
What are the three non-contact forces?
Gravity, magnetic force, electrostatic forces
What do you call the region of space in which an object experiences a force?
Field
What is Newton’s first law of motion?
An object remains in its state of rest or uniform velocity unless a non-zero net force acts on it.
What do you call it when an object has no net force.
The object is in equilibrium
What factor affects inertia
Mass of the object
State Newton’s second law of motion.
When a net force is applied to an object with mass, the object accelerates in the direction of the net force. The acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
State Newton’s third law of motion
When object A exerts a force on object B, object B simultaneously exerts a force on object A with equal magnitude and in the opposite direction.
State Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation
Every particle in the universe exerts a force of attraction on every other particle. The force exerted by one particle on another is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What must you do when asked to answer with reference to Newton’s law?
