Honors Physics S1 Final Flashcard

Front

What is static friction?

Back

Static friction is the force that keeps an object at rest and prevents it from moving when a force is applied. An example is a stationary box that does not slide on a surface.

Front

What is the formula for momentum?

Back

The formula for momentum (p) is p = mv, where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

Calculate the momentum of an 8.5 kg bowling ball rolling at 2.3 m/s.

Back

The momentum is 19.6 kg*m/s, calculated using p = mv.

Front

How can you determine the speed of an object from a position-time graph?

Back

You can determine the speed by finding the slope of the graph.

Front

What is the formula for force?

Back

The formula for force (F) is F = ma, where m is mass and a is acceleration.

Front

Define kinetic friction.

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

What is the principle of conservation of momentum?

Back

The principle states that in a closed system, the total momentum before an event is equal to the total momentum after the event.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as weight (W) = mg, where m is mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
