Force Flashcards
is described as the change in
position of an object in a
given period of time with
respect to a given reference
point.
motion
is an external agent
capable of changing a body’s
state of rest or motion.
force
is a place or object used for
comparison to determine if
something is in motion.
reference point
is the total length of path
travelled from an object’s
initial position to it’s final
position
distance
Is the length of path from the
initial position and final
position in a straight line
displacement
- the
combination of all forces
acting on an object
net force
- the force resisting the
relative motion; force between
objects that are in contact with
one another; It can slow down
the motion of an object
friction
is the frictional
force between objects that
are at res
static friction
The force that
resists the motion of an
object
kinetic friction
force exerted
by the surfaces.
normal force
a force of attraction
that exists between any two
masses; the direction is always
toward the center of the Earth
gravity
the force of gravity
acting on an object
weight
set of
coordinates used for comparison
