| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Why do objects fall to the ground at the same rate? | gravity |
| why does a heavier object fall with the same acceleration as a lighter object? | Bc heavier objects have a greater gravitational force |
| What is the rate at which velocity changes over time? | acceleration |
| at what rate do all objects accelerate towards earth? | 9.8 m/s2 |
| Equation for velocity | Velocity=Gravity x time (v=gt) |
| what is the force that opposes the motion of objects through air? | air resistance |
| what three factors affect the amount of air resistance acting on an object? | size, speed, shape |
| what has a falling object that stops accelerating reached? | its terminal velocity |
| why can free fall occur only where there is no air? | bc without air, there's no air resistance |
| what are the two places that have no air resistance | in space, in a vacuum |
| what is centripal force? | the unbalanced force that causes objects to move in a circular path |
| what is everything on earth pulled towards the center by? | gravity |
| compared to a falling object, is the downward acceleration of a thrown object faster or slower? | slower |
| Newton's First Law Of Motion: | 1) Obejcts won't move unless a force is put on it 2) objects with move at a constant speed until a force is put on them |
| according to Newton's first law, what will happen to the motion of objects with a certain velocity unless an unbalanced force acts on them? | they will move constantly |
| if you were in a bumber car that stops when it hits another car, would you continue to move forward? why or why not? | yes until the seatbelt stops you because of Newton's first law |
| what unbalanced force acts to stop a desk that is sliding across a floor | friction |
| what does friction do to the motion of objects? | slow them down |
| what is the tendancy of an object to resist being moved until an outside force acts on the object? | inertia |
| why is it easier to change the motion of an object with a small mass? | because it has more inertia |
| Newton's Second Law of Motion: | the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object the amount of force applied |
| what happens to the acceleration of an object as its mass decreases? | acceleration increases |
| what happens to the acceleration of an object if the force on the object increases? | acceleration increases |
| why would a cart start moving faster if you gave it a hard push than if you gave it a soft push? | because i'm putting more force on it |
| Equation for Acceleration: | Acceleration=Force/mass (a=f/m) Force= mass x acceleration (f=am) |
| why is an apple easier to accelerate than a watermelon | it has less mass |
| Newton's Third Law: | Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force |
| what action and reaction forces are present when you are sitting on a chair | your weight pushing down on the chair; the chair pushing up on your body |
| why does it take a large truck longer to stop htan a compact car, even though both are traveling at the same velocity? | because the truck has more weight |
| why does a fast moving car have more momentum than a slow-moving car of the same mass? | it has a greater velocity |
| Equation for Momentum: | Momentum=mass x velocity (p=mv) |
| if a cue ball hits a billiard ball so that the billiard ball starts moving and the cue ball stops, when happens to the cue ball's momentum? | All of the cue ball's momentum has been transferred to the billiard ball. |
| how do action and reaction forces move a swimmer forward in the water? | swimmer's hand pushing on the water; the water pushing back up on the hand |
| when a ball falls to earth, why is it hard to see the effect of the reaction force exerted by the ball on Earth? | the acceleration of the Earth is so small that you can't see or feel the acceleration |
| what is one way that you can tell that the bowler has done work? | the ball has kinetic energy |
| what has the bowler transferred to the ball when the ball has kinetic energy? | energy |
| what two things need to happen for work to be done on an object? | 1) the object moves as a force is applied 2)object must move in the same direction as the force |
| Equation for Work: | Work= Force x Distance (W=Fd) |
| What is the rate at which work is done or energy is transformed? | power |
| Equation for power: | Power= Work/time (P=W/t) |
| what is a device that makes work easier by changing the size or direction of force? | a machine |
| what type of common machine is a screwdriver that is used to pry off the lid on a paint can? | a lever |
| what is the work you do on an object called? | work input |
| what is the work done by a machine on an object called? | work output |
| what can work output never be greater than? | work input |
| why do machines need less force to do the same amount of work? | machines allow force to be applied over a greater distance |
| when a screwdriver is used to open a can, both the size and what change? | input force |
| a ramp will decrease the size of the input force needed to life a box and does what to the distance over which the force is exerted? | increases it |
| what is the number of times a machine multiplies force called? | mechanical advantage |
| Equation for Mechanical Advantage: | Mechanical Advantage=output force/input force |
| What is the quantity that measures the ratio of work output to work input called? | Mechanical efficiency |
| Equation for Mechanical efficiency: | Mechanical Efficiency=work output/work input x100 |
| when a machine drills a hole in metal, some of the work input is used to overcome what betweent the metal and the drill? | friction |
| what would a machine that had 100% efficiency be called? | an ideal machine |
| what do some machines use to lower friction between moving parts? | lubricants |
| what is the ability to do work called? | energy |
| work is a transfer of what? | energy |
| what is the energy of motion? | kinetic energy |
| in the formula for kinetic energy, what does the "m" stand for? | mass |
| how does increasin mass affect kinetic energy? | the greater the mass, the greater the kinetic energy |
| when you lift an object, energy is transferred to the object which gives the object what? | gravitational potential energy |
| the amount of gravitational potential energy that an object has depends on what two things? | weight and height above surface |
| Equation for gravitational potential energy: | gravitational potential energy=weight x height |
| what is the amount of force that must be used on an object to lift it? | weight |
| Equation for Kinetic Energy: | Kinetic Energy= (mass x velocity2)/2 (KE= mv2/2) |
| Law of Universal Gravitation part 1: | Gravitational force increases as mass increases |
| Law of Universal Gravitation part 2: | Gravitational force decreases as distance increases |
