(9 cards)

Equilibrium

Front

The state where forces on an object (or system) are balanced, there is no acceleration, and velocity of the object (or center of mass of the system) remains constant

Back

Newton's 1st law (inertia)

Front

All objects remain in a constant state of motion, either at rest or moving with a constant speed in a straight line, unless they are acted on by an unbalanced force

Back

Free fall

Front

The state where the only force acting on an object is the force of gravity (air resistance is negligible)

Back

Gravitational Mass

Front

The property of an object that affects the amount of gravitational attraction to other objects

Back

Normal Force

Front

The repulsive force between the surfaces of any 2 objects; it is the result of electrons in the surface of the 2 objects repelling each other

Back

iv.

Front

Weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object; weight is the product of an object's mass times the gravitational field strength of the point in space where the object is located: w=m x g

Back

Acceleration

Front

"The rate of change in velocity"; an objects accelerates when it changes its speed and/or direction

Back

iii.

Front

For any object, its inertial mass and gravitational mass have been experimentally verified to be identical in quantity

Back

Inertial Mass

Front

The measure of an object's resistance to a change in motion; it affects how the object's motion will change when it interacts with other objects

Back
