  • What is Mass vs. Weight?Also mention their SI Units.
    Mass: The amount of matter something is made of. SI Units: kg, Weight: The force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Unit= Newton
  • What does inertia NOT dependent upon?
    SPEED
  • What is Inertia?
    Inertia is a property of matter, by which a mass resists changes to it's motion
  • Which cart has the greatest inertia? Why? 1. a 1-kg cart traveling at 4 m/s, 2. a 2-kg cart traveling at 3 m/s, 3. a 3-kg cart traveling at 2 m/s, or, 4. a 4-kg cart traveling at 1 m/s

  • What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?
    Objects at rest remain at rest, objects in motion remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
  • What does Inertia depend upon?
    Only on MASS
  • Why should we wear a Seat belt?
    I
  • What is Force? Is it a Scalar or Vector Quantity?
    It is A push or a pull applied to an object . It is a Vector quantity
  • What are Balanced forces? When is an object said to be at Equilibrium?
    Net force=0, Objects may either be 1.) At rest, 2.) Having constant velocity
  • Why does a child "fall back" when you yank the wagon forward?
    1)When the wagon child's lower body starts moving as his leg is in contact with the wagon. 2) The child's upper body is still at rest, so it falls back.
  • What is friction?,
    1) It is a contact force between 2 surfaces . 2) It resists motion
  • Why Shouldn't you stand in a bus while its moving?
    1) When-the bus breaks, your lower body stops motions while your upper body is still in the state of motion,so you can fall.
