What do you do to find the net force if the forces are in the opposite direction?
Front
subtract the forces
Back
Mass
Front
The quantity of matter in an object. A dictionary has a mass of about one kilogram
Back
velocity
Front
speed in a certain direction
Back
What do you do the find the net force if the forces are in the same direction?
Front
add the forces
Back
m/s
Front
units for speed
Back
m
Front
units for distance
Back
The greater the mass.....
Front
the more force is needed to accelerate.
Back
Weight
Front
The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object and may be defined as the mass times the acceleration of gravity. It is measured in newtons. You may weigh 100 pounds on Earth but in space your weight will be reduced.
Back
Volume
Front
The quantity of space an object occupies.A bowling ball and basketball are about the same size and take up the same amount of space, therefore they have the same, or similar, volume
Back
Force
Front
A push or a pull, measured in newtons. Pushing a desk across the room.
Back
Newton's 1st law
Front
an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force. Also known as the law of inertia
Back
What is needed to determine speed?
Front
distance and tim
Back
m/s north
Front
unit for velocity
Back
Newton
Front
(Symbol: N) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. .
Back
unbalanced forces
Front
when the net force does not equal 0 Newtons
Back
Newton's 3rd law
Front
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Also known as the law of action-reaction
Back
Newton's 2nd law
Front
Force = mass x acceleration
Back
speed
Front
distance in a certain amount of time s=d/t
Back
What is needed to determine velocity?
Front
distance, time, and direction
Back
net force
Front
sum of all the forces
Back
Inertia
Front
The property of things to resist changes in motion.
Back
The smaller the mass...
Front
the less force is needed to accelerate it.
Back
Friction
Front
Contact force between objects that slide (or tend to slide) against each other.
