Newton's first law is the law of ____
|
inertia
|
|
inertia =
|
when an object resists change in it's motion
|
|
2 examples of newton's first law are...
|
1. a car's brakes stopping it
2. a crash test dummy |
|
Newton's First Law=
|
an object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest, unless opposed by an unbalanced force
|
|
Newton's 3rd law is the law of _______
|
action/reaction
|
|
What is newton's 3rd law?
|
For every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction.
|
|
What is newton's 2nd law?
|
Force=Mass x Acceleration
Acceleration=Force/Mass |
|
The net force is .....
|
The force equired to accelerate 1 kg of mass at 1 m/s2
|
|
1 N = 1 kg x 1 _____
|
m/s2
|
|
How can you add friction
|
increase pressure
|
|
How can you reduce friction?
|
add more contact
add a lubricant |
|
What is friction?
|
A force that opposes motion when 2 objects are in contact
|
|
When does friction exist
|
When two objects are in contact.
|
|
What are some examples of friction?
|
Bowling, ice skating, sitting in a chair, guitar.
|
|
What are two things that friction depends on?
|
1. How uneven the surfaces are (roughness)
2. How hard the surfaces push against each other (pressure) |
|
Define and give examples of the 2 types of friction
|
A. Siliding friction-when one surface slides over the other
B. Rolling friction-when one surface rolls over the other |
|
Why do cars with underinflated tires use more gas?
|
When theres more contact, you need more power
|
|
What is fluid friction?
|
Contact with a non-solid
|
|
What determins high or low MU factors?
|
The amount of friction
|
|
What are lubricants used for?
|
To reduce friction
