Newton's first law

The law that states that the unbalanced force acting on an object equals the object's mass times its acceleration is

Newton's second law

When objects are moved further apart from each other, the force of gravity

becomes weaker

The law of conservation of energy states that

What is the acceleration of a car as velocity increases from 0 m/s to 20 m/s in 2 s?

10 meter per second square

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 40 kg box that is 3.0 m above the ground?

1176 J

The brakes on a car exert a frictional force of 8000 N in getting the car to stop. If the work done by the brakes is 100,000 J in coming to a stop, how many meters did the car travel after the driver applied the brakes?

12.5M

An object has a kinetic energy of 5000 J after falling a certain distance. If the mass of the object is 20 kg, what is the speed of the object at this time?

22.4 J

A man pushes a crate along a factory floor by exerting a force of 50 N. If the crate moves a distance of 5.0 m, how much work does the man perform?

250J

An object weighing 80 N is dropped from the top of a building and falls a distance of 35 m to the ground. How much work does gravity do on the object from the time it is dropped to the time it hits the ground?

2800J

Calculate the horizontal force that must be applied to a 1500 kg vehicle to give it an acceleration of 3.2 m/s2 on a level road.

4800N

50 W

The efficiency of a ramp is 50%. If the amount of work input is 140 J, what is the amount of useful work output?

70J

Earth's temperature is moderated by its

Hydrosphere distance from the sun and atmosphere

The asteroid belt exists between Mars and

Jupiter

The tendency of an object at rest to remain at rest, or if moving, to continue moving at a constant velocity is

Inertia

Milky Way

In 1687-explained that gravitational forces hold the solar system together.

Newton

A geologic feature of divergent plate boundaries in oceanic crust is the formation of

Rift Valley

Earth's inner core is solid/liquid and hot/cold?

Solid and hot

A lunar eclipse occurs when positions of the sun, the moon, and Earth are such that one of these objects is between the other two. During a lunar eclipse, which object is between the other two?

The Earth

About 80 percent of Earth's volume is made up of

The mantle

Weight

The measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object.
