Q

Calculate the weight of a man on earth who has a mass of 73 kg

A 
730 N 
(73 kg x 10 N/kg = 730 N)
17
Q

Calculate the weight of a tiger on earth who has a mass of 196 kg

A 
1960 N
(196 kg x 10 N/kg = 1960 N)
18
Q

Calculate the weight of a screwdriver on earth having a mass of 0.44 kg

A
  1. 4 N

0. 44 kg x 10 N/kg = 4.4 N

19

A

force
Newtons
force

20
Q

The mass of an object is how much ______ there is. Your mass does not depend on where you are and is measured in _____

A

matter

kg

21
Q

Newton said that all objects in the universe experience gravity. The size of the gravitational force depends on the ______ of the objects and the _______ between them

A

mass

distance

22
Q

If an object is taken to the Moon it weighs only about one _____ as much as it does on Earth, because the Moon is ______ than the Earth. On Jupiter the object would weigh ______, because Jupiter is ______ than Earth

A

sixth
lighter
more
heavier

23

1.6

25
Q

To use the weight and mass equation, the mass must be in _____

A

kg

26
Q

The weight and mass equation is:

A

w = m x g

27
Q

Gravity is a ______ force

A

pulling

28
Q

Your mass always _________ on different planets

A

stays the same

29
Q

You weight ______ on different planets

A

varies

30
Q

What is Hooke’s Law?

A

When an elastic object - such as a spring - is stretched, the increased length is called its extension.
The extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied to it
This means if we double the force we double the extension

31
Q

What is meant by deforming an object?

A

It means changing an object’s shape

32
Q

What is meant by an elastic object?

What is an example of an elastic object?

A

Elastic objects change shape when a force is exerted on them

A spring, rubber band

33
Q

What is the formula for Hooke’s Law?

A 
F = k x e
F = force measured in Newtons
k = the 'spring constant' measured in Newtons per metre  (N/m)
e = extension measured in metres
34
Q

A spring has a spring constant of 60 N/m. Calculate the force needed to extend it by 0.1 m

A

6 N

35
Q

The extension of an elastic object is _______ ________ to the force applied to it

A

directly proportional

36
Q

Hooke’s law is a ________ relationship

A

linear

37
Q

Hooke’s law only applies ______ a certain force

A

up to

For example, if a spring is stretched too much, it will not return to its original length when the load is removed
