Flashcards

Strong Nuclear Force

The force responsible for holding the nucleus of an atom together. It's extremely strong but acts over very short distances.

Space Anemia

A decrease in red blood cell production caused by prolonged exposure to microgravity.

Gravity

The force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth. It's responsible for the weight of objects.

Electromagnetic Force

The force that gives materials their ability to resist bending, squeezing, stretching, or shattering. It's responsible for the stiffness and strength of materials.

Equilibrium

A state where all the forces acting on an object are balanced. The object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Inertia

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. It's a property of matter that makes it difficult to start moving or to stop once it is in motion.

Friction

A force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact. It acts in a direction opposite to the motion.

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. It states that the greater the mass of an object, the greater the force required to accelerate it.

Gravitational Force

The fundamental force that governs the attraction between objects with mass. It's responsible for keeping the moon in orbit around the Earth and the planets in orbit around the sun.

Study Notes

Forces

  • Electromagnetic force is the strongest force among the electromagnetic forces.

Spaceflight Effects

  • Prolonged spaceflight can cause 'space anemia' in the human body, a significant effect.

Varicose Veins

  • Varicose veins in the legs are caused by the buildup of blood pressure in the veins.

Material Properties

  • The force that gives materials their strength and the ability to bend, squeeze, stretch, or shatter is an internal force.

Bone Effects

  • One of the significant effects of long-term weightlessness on bones is a loss of bone density.

Equilibrium

  • In a state of equilibrium, the sum of the forces in any direction is zero.

Inertia

  • According to Newton's 1st Law of Motion, the role of inertia is to keep an object at rest or moving in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.

Contact Forces

  • Frictional force requires direct contact between two objects for it to act.

Force, Mass, and Acceleration

  • Newton's 2nd Law relates force, mass, and acceleration by the formula F = ma.

Gravitational Force

  • The fundamental force responsible for holding the moon in orbit around the Earth is gravity.

Action and Reaction

  • According to Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Non-Contact Forces

  • Electromagnetic forces and gravitational forces are types of forces that act through empty space and do not require physical contact.
