Newtons Laws Flashcards
State Newton’s second law
Mass resists acceleration (INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL) forces cause acceleration (DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL)
Definition of weight
Weight is the amount of force that the earth (ECT) exerts on an object
Why do heavier objects hit the ground faster then lighter objects
Because they can push air out if the way faster
When to objects collide in the absence of friction momentum is
A. Lost
B. Not lost
Not lost
Sliding friction
Occurs when solid surfaces slide over each other
Rolling friction
Occurs when and object rolls over another
—- never changes but —— is different with gravity differences
Mass. Weight.
Which friction requires the most energy to overcome
Sliding friction
Definition of mass
How much stuff there is of an object
What unit do you use for speed
M/S
Static friction
Is the force acting on objects that are not moving. Must be overcome for objects to move
What formula do you use to calculate weight
F = ma
The first law is also called the law of ——-
Inertia
Inertia is directly proportional to
Mass
Formula to calculate acceleration
A = f/m
Is net force scalar or vector
Vector
