Chapter3 Flashcards
Newtons 1st law
An object will remain at rest or in a state of uniform motion unless it is acted on a resultant force
Newtons 2nd law
For a body of constant mass, it’s acceleration is directly proportional to the resultant force applied to it
Inertia
A mass’s ability to resist any change in motion
Newtons 3rd law
When two bodies interact the forces they exert on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
Push and pull forces
Acceleration by pushing
Lifting
Force of a car.
Attractive forces
Weight forces
Force of gravity acting
Any object in a gravitational field
Friction forces
Two surfaces rub over one another
Pulling
Vehicles cornering/skidding
Sliding down a slope
Drag
Moving through air or liquid, like friction
Flying,falling, parachuting, sailing, moving, swimming
Upthrust
Object placed in a fluid experiences an upwards force, deeper the object greater the pressure, more pressure on the lower surface pushes it upwards
Contact forces
Opposing force, normal(perpendicular)reaction, acts in right angle to surface
Tension
Pull, stretches
Push, compress
