contant motion Flashcards
frictional force
(a object dragging across the surface)
Friction results from the two surfaces being pressed together closely, causing intermolecular attractive forces between molecules of different surfaces
applied force
object getting pushed by another object or person
normal force
support on a object
ex: human against a wall, wall pushes
air resistance
frictional force that happens when things fall in the air
force will frequently bee neglect to its negligible magnitude
tension
things pulling on each other. forces acting from opposites ends
spring force
the spring force is a force that acts on any object that gets compressed or stretched.
An object that compresses or stretches a spring is always acted upon by a force that restores the object to its rest or equilibrium position.
whats forces measured in
newtons
force is a vector quantity it has what
both magnitude and direction
gravity force
he force of gravity is the force with which the earth, moon, or other massively large object attracts another object towards itself.
