NLN PAX MATH (LATEST UPDATE )

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | GRADE A | 100%

CORRECT (VERIFIED SOLUTIONS)

Displacement .....ANSWER.....- it refers to the distance that a

object is from its starting point

Motion .....ANSWER.....- when an object is motion its displacement

is constantly changing




- it is describe by displacement, velocity, and acceleration

Speed .....ANSWER.....- refers to the distance traveled by an

object per unit of time.

velocity .....ANSWER.....- refers to speed in a given direction;

therefore it tells us two things about a moving object: its speed

and its direction

,Page 2 of 37


acceleration .....ANSWER.....- refers to to any change of velocity

either positive or negative.

deceleration .....ANSWER.....- refers to the negative acceleration

or a decrease in velocity and can cause a change in direction

momentum .....ANSWER.....- is equal to the mass of an object

multiplied by its velocity




- Momentum = (Mass)(Velocity)

conservation of momentum .....ANSWER.....- States that the total

momentum of an isolated system is always constant




-Ex: during a collision between two bodies, the momentum of

each body changes, but the total momentum is is conserved. One

object may lose momentum, but the momentum lost by the object

is gained by the other.

vector .....ANSWER.....- velocity and acceleration can both be

described using vectors because they both have magnitude and

direction.

Newton's First Law .....ANSWER.....- states that objects in motion

tend to stay in motion and that objects at rest tend to stay at rest

inertia .....ANSWER.....- is the property of matter that resist any

change in motion

Newton's second law .....ANSWER.....- describes the relationship

between force, mass,and acceleration.




- it states that force is applied on an object equals the mass of

the object times its acceleration

force .....ANSWER.....F= ma

newton .....ANSWER.....- (N) is the unit that represents a force that

accelerates a mass of 1 kilogram 1 meter per second

, Page 4 of 37


friction .....ANSWER.....- sliding box along a floor, giving it

velocity, it does not continue at that speed but stops. This is due

to friction between the box and floor




- whenever a force is exerted along a surface or whenever an

object has a velocity along the surface, and the two surfaces

touch, there is force called friction

gravity .....ANSWER.....- is the force of attraction between all

objects in the universe

weight .....ANSWER.....- the pull of gravity on an object

determines its weight

torque .....ANSWER.....- the ability of a force that is applied

perpendicularly to rotate an object around an axis, such as using

a wrench to turn a bolt is measured by the quantity torque
