DCP #2 Review - Pt. 1

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. More mass means more inertia.

Front

What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A force is a push or pull on an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two objects due to their mass.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Weight = mass x gravitational acceleration.

Front

What is a net force?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object when all the individual forces acting on it are combined.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocity) / Time.

Front

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces do not change an object's motion, while unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate.

Front

What is resistive force?

Back

Resistive force is a force that opposes the motion of an object, such as friction or air resistance.
