Newton’s Third Law states...

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

An object stays in motion unless acted on

Force equals speed times distance

If no net force is acting on a moving object, the object will...

Continue moving at the same speed

The formula for force is __________.

mass x acceleration (F = m x a)

34. Momentum is measured in __________.

kilogram meter per second (kg·m/s)

The formula to calculate kinetic energy is __________.

$$\frac{1}{2}$$ x mass x velocity squared (KE = $$\frac{1}{2} mv^2$$ )

$$\frac{1}{2}$$ x mass x acceleration squared (KE = $$\frac{1}{2} ma^2$$ )

Newton’s Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Which of the following is a real-world example of this law?

A person pushing against a wall and the wall pushing back with equal force.

A ball rolling down a hill due to gravity.

A car accelerating on a straight road.

A plant growing towards sunlight.

The force of gravity affects falling objects by:

Causing them to fall towards the Earth

Pushing them away from the Earth

Which of the following best defines kinetic and potential energy and gives an example of each?

Kinetic energy is energy of motion (e.g., a moving car), and potential energy is stored energy (e.g., a stretched bow).

Kinetic energy is stored energy (e.g., a stretched bow), and potential energy is energy of motion (e.g., a moving car).

Kinetic energy and potential energy are both forms of heat energy (e.g., boiling water).

Kinetic energy is energy from food, and potential energy is energy from sunlight.

The three types of friction are:

Static, sliding, and rolling friction

Magnetic, static, and fluid friction

Sliding, gravitational, and elastic friction

Rolling, elastic, and magnetic friction

What does it mean when a distance-time graph has a constant positive slope?

The object is moving at a constant speed.

Mass affects momentum in which of the following ways?

Greater mass results in greater momentum, if velocity is constant.

Greater mass results in less momentum, if velocity is constant.

Mass does not affect momentum at all.

Momentum is only affected by velocity, not mass.

How can an object have a large momentum?

By having a large mass or a high velocity

What does the conservation of energy tell us about energy transformations?

Energy is transformed from one form to another, but the total amount remains constant.

Energy can be created or destroyed during transformations.

Energy is always lost during transformations.

Energy transformations only occur in living things.

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 6 kg object moving at 3 m/s.

Kinetic energy = 0.5 × mass × velocity² = 0.5 × 6 kg × (3 m/s)² = 27 J.

Kinetic energy = 0.5 × mass × velocity² = 0.5 × 6 kg × (3 m/s)² = 18 J.

Kinetic energy = 0.5 × mass × velocity² = 0.5 × 6 kg × (3 m/s)² = 36 J.

Kinetic energy = 0.5 × mass × velocity² = 0.5 × 6 kg × (3 m/s)² = 54 J.
