SCMH 1010 ADAMS FINAL EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
2026
Newton's first law of motion - ANS in the absence of a net external force an objects state of
motion will remain constant
Newton's second law of motion - ANS SigmaF=ma
Newton's third law of motion - ANS to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Kinematics - ANS speed, velocity, acceleration, and position
Speed - ANS how fast an object is moving, distance traveled divided by the time it took to
travel
Velocity - ANS related to speed, speed plus a distance
Acceleration - ANS the rate of change of your velocity

, Newton's Law of gravitation - ANS anything that has mass attracts everything else that has
mass
State of motion - ANS a description of how an object is moving
Law of conservation of energy - ANS energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can
change from one form to another
Kinetic energy - ANS energy of motion, energy and mass are directly proportional therefore if
you double the mass you double the energy, faster - higher force - more energy
Kinetic Energy formula - ANS m X (m/s)^2 X 1/2
Potential energy - ANS energy that is stored, has the ability to do work even if it isn't doing it
now, gravitational potential energy
Gravitational Potential Energy - ANS gravitation could give something the ability to exert
force, formula= (mass)(m/s)^2(height)
Energy - ANS if the system can exert a force over a distance it has this, it is finite, it can be put
into or leave a system, put into 2 groups
Work - ANS only done when a FORCE is exerted over a distance, formula = Fd, must have
force and distance, force must be moving in the same direction as the object, crosses the
boundary of a system
Power - ANS the time it takes to do work, power equals watts, W=joules/seconds
