Mass, gravity, weight, inertia Flashcards
1
Q
Mass
A
Matter that makes up an object, does not change
2
Q
Matter
A
Atoms and molecules that are the basis of of everything
3
Q
Kilograms
A
1 thousand grams
4
Q
Tonne
A
1 thousand kilograms
5
Q
Gravity
A
The attractive force between objects in mass
Measured in Newtons
Increased mass = Increased gravity Increased distance = Decreased gravity/ weight
Non - contact
6
Q
Unit of Gravity
A
Fw = mxg Fg = mxg F = mxg
7
Q
Newtons
A
Unit of forces
8
Q
Weight
A
Force due to gravity ( object and planet it is on)
9
Q
Inertia
A
Measure of an object’s resistance to a change in its motion
