P3 Semester Flashcard

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration when a constant force is applied?

Back

Greater mass leads to less acceleration (Newton's Second Law of Motion).

Front

What is the main difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Velocity includes direction, while speed does not.

Front

What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?

Back

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What force propels a rocket upward?

Back

Thrust.

Front

How does adding weight to a cart affect the force needed to push it?

Back

More force is needed.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma).

Front

What is the definition of speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time.

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is the force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid?

Back

Drag.
