◉ Newton's Law of Gravity.
Answer: Law stating any two objects are attracted to each other; the
magnitude of the attraction depends on the masses of the two
objects and the distance between the two objects.
◉ Gravity is slightly less on a mountain and therefore you weigh less
- w = m x g.
Answer: Why is your weight less on a mountain top compared to sea
level?
◉ Scalar quantity.
Answer: A quantity that has only magnitude
◉ Vector quantity.
Answer: quantity having both magnitude and direction
◉ Speed/velocity.
Answer: rate at which an object covers distance
,◉ Acceleration of gravity.
Answer: 9.8 m/s2
◉ acceleration.
Answer: (physics) a rate of change of velocity
◉ Newton's First Law of Motion.
Answer: Law: "An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object
moving at a constant velocity will continue moving at a constant
velocity, unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force." Another
name is Law of Inertia
◉ Newton's Second Law of Motion.
Answer: Law: The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of
the object and the amount of force applied.
◉ Newton's Third Law of Motion.
Answer: Law: Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object,
the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.
◉ Inertia.
, Answer: (physics) the tendency of a body to maintain is state of rest
or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force
◉ Centripetal force.
Answer: the inward force on a body moving in a curved path around
another body
◉ Watt.
Answer: a unit of power equal to 1 joule per second; after James ____
who found a way to relate the the new unit to Horsepower in the
invention of the steam engine.
◉ Joule.
Answer: SI unit of energy
◉ Law of the Conservation of Energy.
Answer: energy may change from on form to another, but the total
amount of energy does not change - energy cannot be created or
destroyed
◉ Power.
Answer: (physics) the rate of doing work
