AND B EXAM SCRIPT 2026 COMPLETE
QUESTIONS SOLUTIONS APPROVED A+
◉ scalar. Answer: a quantity that does not involve a direction
◉ average speed formula. Answer: total distance/ time
d/t
◉ slope of velocity-versus-time graph. Answer: acceleration
◉ Newton's second law. Answer:
◉ Newton's third law. Answer: for every action there is an equal but
opposite reaction (action/ reaction pair)
◉ newton. Answer: kg m/s^2
unit of force
◉ inertia. Answer: the property of objects to naturally resist changes
in their states of motion
,◉ weight (of an object). Answer: the gravitational force exerted on it
by the Earth or whatever planet Fw or Fg= mg
◉ normal force. Answer: component of force that's perpendicular to
the surface
◉ free-body diagram. Answer: A diagram that shows all the forces
acting on an object
◉ friction force. Answer: the component of the contact force that's
parallel to the surface
◉ static friction. Answer: occurs when there is no motion between
two objects (friction that holds an object still)
◉ mu. Answer: coefficient of friction
◉ kinetic friction. Answer: occurs when there is relative motion
(when there's sliding)
◉ kinetic energy. Answer: the energy of an object due to motion
K= .5mv^2
, ◉ potential energy. Answer: the energy an object or system has by
virtue of its position
Ug - gravitational potential energy
△Ug= mg△h
◉ uniform circular motion. Answer: -speed is constant
- velocity is not constant because the direction of velocity is always
changing
-in order to produce acceleration there must be a force towards the
center
◉ centripetal force. Answer: Caused by something - friction, tension,
gravity. Always points towards the center.
◉ newton's law of gravitation. Answer: any two objects in the
universe exert an attractive force on each other called the
gravitational force
◉ universal gravitational constant (G)=. Answer: 6.7 E-
11Nkg^2/m^2
◉ gravitational force. Answer: r is the distance between the two
objects
