chap 3 Flashcards
sliding friction
force that opposes the motion off 2 obj moving past each other
static friction
force that prevents 2 obj frrom pushing past each other
air resistance
a force that opposes motion of falling obj
terminal velocity
the fasts speed a falling obj can reach
gravity on earth
9.88 m/s2
gravity
attractive foce b/w 2 obj
depends of mass and distance
gravity
equation for gravity
gravity force= mass x gravity
newtons second law of motion
the acceleration of an obj will have the same directiona s the forces on the obj
acceleration = net force / mass
acceleration equation
newtons 3rd law of motion
for every action is an equal and opposite reaction
the action and reaction forces do not cancel each other out. they are applied to different obj
newtons 3rd law deals with
momentum
equation for momentum
momentum = mass x velocity
the equation for weight
weight= mass x gravity
Newton’s second law of motion deals with
accccerleration
Gravity notes
if you increase the mass of an obj the force increases
if you increase the distance b/w obj the forces decrease
