Motion & Types of Motion

Front

What is net force?

Back

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object. It determines the object's acceleration according to Newton's second law.

Front

What is projectile motion?

Back

Projectile motion is the motion of an object that is thrown into the air and is subject to the force of gravity, resulting in a curved trajectory.

Front

What is parabolic motion?

Back

Parabolic motion is a type of motion that follows a parabolic trajectory, typically seen in objects thrown or projected under the influence of gravity.

Front

What is oscillatory motion?

Back

Oscillatory motion is the repetitive back-and-forth movement of an object around a central point or equilibrium position.

Front

What is circular motion?

Back

Circular motion is the motion of an object that moves along a circular path, characterized by a constant distance from a central point.

Front

If a person exerts a force of 45 N to the left and another exerts 32 N to the right, what is the net force?

Back

The net force is 13 N to the left.

Front

Does oscillatory motion involve circular paths?

Back

False, oscillatory motion does not necessarily involve circular paths.

Front

Does circular motion occur in a straight path?

Back

False, circular motion occurs along a curved path.

Front

What is the difference between vertical and horizontal velocity?

Back

Vertical velocity refers to the speed of an object moving up or down, while horizontal velocity refers to the speed of an object moving left or right.

Front

What is an example of an object exhibiting parabolic motion?

Back

A baseball thrown to home plate is an example of parabolic motion.
