25
Weight is a
Vector quantity
26
As centers of two bodies are moved farther apart, the gravitational attraction btw them ___
Dec. **and vice versa**
27
Weight is ___ on the poles
Higher — your center closer to center of earth
28
Quantity of motion an object possesses
Momentum
29
Momentum =
Mass x velocity
30
Momentum is a
Vector quantity
31
Something that has a lot of momentum is going to be
Hard to stop
32
Action upon a body causing it to deform or move
Force
33
Newton is the amount of force required to
Give 1kg mass acceleration of 1meter/s2
34
Force =
Mass x acceleration
35
To increase force we either inc ___ or ____
Mass; acceleration | Or both
36
Resistance to have its state of motion changed by application of a force
Inertia
37
Law of Inertia (Newtons 1st law)
An object at rest stays at rest; an object at motion stays in motion UNLESS acted upon by an unbalanced force
38
A system in equilibrium is either
At rest or moving w/ constant velocity
39
Law of Force and Acceleration (Newton’s 2nd Law)
Acceleration of an object directly depends on net force acting up it Inversely upon mass of the object
40
Observed change in motion
Acceleration
41
Law of action and reaction (newton’s 3rd Law)
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
42
Normal stress
Intensity of force perpendicular to surface on which it acts
43
Shear stress
Intensity of force parallel to surface on which it acts
44
Higher friction coefficient means that
It is harder to get an object into motion
45
Static friction
Two contacting surfaces not currently sliding but have potential for movement
46
Kinetic friction
Two surfaces are already sliding relative to each other
47
Kinetic friction AKA
Dynamic friction
48
Magnitude of applied force acting over a given area
Pressure
49
P =
F/A
50
When an object is displaced by application of force
Work
51
Work =
Force x distance
52
Work can be
Positive or negative
53
Changes in velocity have ___ effects on kinetic energy
Large Because velocity is squared
54
KE =
1/2mv^2
55
Axis of rotation
Point about which a body rotates
56
Lever arm
Perpendicular distance from axis of rotation
57
Product of force and lever arm; tendency of force to rotate an object around an axis
Torque
58
We move because of
Torque Muscles apply eccentric forces to bones
59
Type 1 lever
Fulcrum between effort and load/resistance
60
Type 2 lever
Load/resistance between fulcrum and effort
61
Type 3 lever
Effort between fulcrum and load/resistance
62
Type 1 lever example on body
Head/neck
63
Type 2 lever example on body
Leg/ankle
64
Type 3 lever example on body
Elbow
65
Moment arm =
Force x lever arm distance
66
>1 mechanical advantage in
Force
67
<1 mechanical advantage in
Speed and range of motion
68
If fulcrum is directly in middle of lever, mechanical advantage is
1.00 — neither force has an advantage
69
Effort farther than load from fulcrum = lever at a ______
Mechanical advantage Speed and distance = disadvantage
70
Effort nearer than load to fulcrum = lever at a _______
Mechanical disadvantage Speed and distance = advantage
