Physics first semester final

Front

What does a distance vs. time graph show about an object?

Back

Speed

Front

State Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Back

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = distance / time

Front

According to Newton's second law, what happens if you increase the force applied to an object?

Back

It accelerates more.

Front

What is the formula for force?

Back

F = MA

Front

Define inertia.

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration according to Newton's second law?

Back

Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when force is constant.

Front

What does a velocity vs. time graph represent?

Back

It shows an object's acceleration.
