Fall 2024 EOCE Review

Front

What does gravitational potential energy depend on?

Back

Gravitational potential energy depends on the height and mass of the object.

Front

What is the result when an object is not acted upon by any net force?

Back

It won't accelerate.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What describes the relationship between a non-contact force and distance?

Back

The graph typically shows that as distance increases, the force decreases.

Front

Why do objects remain in the Asteroid and Kuiper Belt?

Back

Because the forces are balanced.

Front

What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) = mass (m) × gravitational acceleration (g) × height (h).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

Unbalanced forces are not equal and can cause an object to accelerate.
