Forces,+Friction+&+Newton+Study+Guide

You get ONE 4x6 index to bring with you for this test. You can write as small as you want and use both sides.

Here is what you need to know....


 * 1) What is a force?
 * 2) What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?
 * 3) How do you calculate net force (same direction, opposite directions)?
 * 4) What is friction?
 * 5) Give several examples of friction.
 * 6) Give several examples of why friction is bad AND good.
 * 7) What is gravity?
 * 8) What is the relationship between mass and gravity?
 * 9) What is the relationship between distance and gravity?
 * 10) How is gravity measured?
 * 11) What is the difference between weight and mass?
 * 12) What is the relationship between weight and mass?
 * 13) What is the acceleration of gravity?
 * 14) What is air resistance?
 * 15) What things affect air resistance?
 * 16) Explain the effect of gravity and air resistance on falling objects.
 * 17) What is projectile motion? How does it affect objects that are throw at a target?
 * 18) Be able to state Newton's First Law and explain how it relates to objects in motion and objects at rest.
 * 19) Know what inertia is and its relationship to mass.
 * 20) Explain why seatbelts and air bags are a good idea using Newton's First Law.
