  • State Newton's law of universal gravitation.
    Every object in the universe attracts every other object.
  • TRUE or FALSE: Electromagnetic force is associated with charged particles.
    True
  • TRUE or FALSE: Objects within a closed system can exert forces on one another, but objects and forces cannot leave or enter the system.
    True
  • Calculate momentum: A 700-gram bird flying at a velocity of 2.5 m/s.
    1.75 kg*m/s
  • Calculate momentum: A 300-kg roller coaster traveling at 25 m/s.
    7500 kg*m/s
  • TRUE or FALSE: All action-reaction forces produce motion.
    False
  • TRUE or FALSE: The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational force.
    True
  • Calculate momentum: A 40-kg shopping cart rolling along at 0.5 m/s.
    20 kg*m/s
  • Name the only two forces that can both attract and repel.
    electric and magnetic forces
  • TRUE or FALSE: Forces always exist in pairs.
    True
  • TRUE or FALSE: Gravity is the weakest universal force, but it is the most effective force over long distances.
    True
  • Which of the following factors affect the momentum of a moving object: mass, volume, shape, velocity
    mass and velocity
  • TRUE or FALSE: An object with a small mass can have a large momentum if the object is traveling at a high speed.
    True
  • What is the momentum formula, including the correct units?
    momentum (kg*m/s) = mass (kg) * velocity (m/s)
  • The sun's mass is much greater than the mass of the Earth, so the sun's gravitational force is much ____ than that of Earth.
    stronger
  • TRUE or FALSE: Action-reaction forces never cancel.
    True (because they work on different objects!)
  • If two identical objects are moving at different velocities, the object that is moving faster will have _________ momentum.
    greater/more
  • According to Newton's 3rd law of motion, what happens whenever one object exerts a force on a second object?
    The second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.
  • What is the momentum of the ball at one second?
    2.5 kg*m/s
  • TRUE or FALSE: The gravitational pull of the moon is the primary cause of Earth's ocean tides.
    True
  • The gravitational force of attraction between two objects depends on ____ and _____.
    mass and distance
  • Objects with like charges ____ one another, and objects with opposite charges ____ one another.
    repel, attract
  • TRUE or FALSE: Action-reaction forces do not cancel each other out because the action force is always greater than the reaction force.
    False
  • TRUE or FALSE: Newton's 2nd law describes action-reaction forces.
    False
  • TRUE or FALSE: The farther apart two objects are, the weaker the gravitational force.
    True
  • Your in-line skates are sitting in a box on a self in the closet. What is their momentum?
    zero
  • What does conservation of momentum mean?
    If not net force acts upon a system, the total momentum of the system does not change.
  • Calculate momentum: A 1000-kg car traveling at 5 m/s.
    5000 kg*m/s
  • The equal and opposite forces described by Newton's 3rd law are called _____ and _____ force.
    action, reaction
  • TRUE or FALSE: The closer two objects are to one another, the weaker the gravitational force.
    False
  • What is the SPEED of the ball at 0.5 seconds?
    5 m/s
  • TRUE or FALSE: Earth's gravitational force is stronger than the gravitational force of the sun.
    False
