  • What is Impuse?
    The change in momentum of a body
  • What is general motion?
    A combination of both linear and angular motion, when an object and its mass is moving in the same direction because of the torque produced through an axis of r
  • What is torque?
    The force (power) that causes rotation.
  • Newton's 3rd Law of motion is:
    Law of action and reaction
  • Something at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a ______
    Force
  • List 2 factors that affect stability:
    Mass of the object, area of the base of support, height of the objects center of gravity about the base, relationship of the line of gravity to the edge of base
  • What is moment of inertia?
    The closer the mass is distributed to the axis of rotation, the easier it is to rotate.
  • Three factors that impact the trajectory (flight path) of an object are:
    Angle of release, height of release, velocity at release
  • An internal force is
    muscle contractions
  • Momentum is
    An objects tendency to keep moving
  • Formula for momentum is
    Mass x Velocity
  • Velocity is
    The rate at which an object moves from one location to another
  • What is gravity?
    A force that pulls objects towards the earth
  • Force summation is
    The combination of forces from different body parts to work together at the same time
  • Inertia is
    an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a force
  • A force will _____ or _______
    Push, Pull
  • Projectile motion is:
    The movement of an object through the air
  • What is angular motion?
    When a body or object turns about an axis of rotation
  • The four resistive forces are
    Friction, gravity, drag and fluid resistance
  • For every action there is a
    equal and opposite reaction
  • Formula for velocity is
    displacement / time
  • Two factors that need to be controlled for any angular motion are:
    Amount of force applied and length of the levers involved
  • Newton's 1st Law of motion is:
    Law of Inertia
  • Displacement is
    The difference between the initial and final position of an object
  • What is linear motion?
    When an object and its mass move in the same direction and the same time
