Newtons Laws flashcard

Front

What kind of friction slows a soccer ball?

Back

Rolling friction is the type of friction that slows a soccer ball as it rolls on the ground.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd law?

Back

Newton's 2nd law states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What does the M in F=MA stand for?

Back

In the equation F = ma, M stands for mass.

Front

What is the cause of friction?

Back

Friction is caused by the roughness of surfaces in contact.

Front

Momentum is never _______ or _________.

Back

Momentum is never created or destroyed.

Front

What is Newton's 1st law of motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

Momentum (p) is calculated using the formula p = mv, where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is static friction?

Back

Static friction is the frictional force that prevents two surfaces from sliding past each other.

Front

What is kinetic friction?

Back

Kinetic friction is the frictional force that opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other.
