Forces and Newton's Laws

Front

What is air resistance?

Back

Air resistance is a force that opposes the motion of objects that move through the air.

Front

Which cart will accelerate the fastest if a force of 90N is applied?

Back

The cart with the least mass will accelerate the fastest when the same force is applied.

Front

What does Newton's 3rd Law state?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate momentum?

Back

Momentum is calculated as the product of mass and velocity (p = mv).

Front

What is centripetal acceleration?

Back

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration directed toward the center of a curved path.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force is calculated using the formula F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Front

What is static friction?

Back

Static friction is the force that keeps an object at rest and prevents it from moving.

Front

What is kinetic friction?

Back

Kinetic friction is the force that opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when the same force is applied (a = F/m).

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two masses.
