Accelerated Physics Semester 1 Finals Review

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

Provide an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Back

A swimmer pushes water backward; the water pushes the swimmer forwards.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v).

Front

What is the principle of conservation of momentum?

Back

In a closed system, the total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.

Front

How do you calculate the change in momentum?

Back

Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum.

Front

What is elastic collision?

Back

An elastic collision is one in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

Front

What is uniform acceleration?

Back

Uniform acceleration occurs when an object's velocity changes at a constant rate.

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

Front

What is the formula for distance traveled under uniform acceleration?

Back

Distance (d) = initial velocity (u) × time (t) + 0.5 × acceleration (a) × time².

Front

What is the definition of kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 0.5 × mass (m) × velocity² (v²).
