Q

what is newtons?

A

the SI unit of force. It is equal to the force that would give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second per second and is equivalent to 100,000 dynes.

Q

what is newtons 1st law?

A

newtons 1st law is that a object in motion will remain in motion and an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted Apon by a unbalanced force.

Q

unwanted friction

A

Friction always opposes motion and is often an unwanted force.

17
Q

buoyancy

A

the ability or tendency of something to float in water or other fluid.

18
Q

sinking

A

If the weight force down is larger than the upward push of the water on the object then the object will sink.

19
Q

floating

A

when the weight force on the object is balanced by the upward push of the water on the object

20
Q

neutral buoyancy

A

a condition in which a physical body’s average density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed.

21
Q

density and its formula

A

how much space an object or substance takes up (its volume) in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance (its mass).

22
Q

fulcrum

A

a thing that plays a central or essential role in an activity, event, or situation.

23
Q

load

A

a heavy or bulky thing that is being carried or is about to be carried

24
Q

effort

A

a vigorous or determined attempt.
