Forces Flashcards
Displacement
Distance moved in a given direction
Linear relationship
When two variables A graph can show a straight line which goes through the origin and they can be called directly proportional
Newton
Unit for measuring forces
Resultant force
A single force has the same effect as all the forces acting on the object
Friction
Force for upposingthe relative motion of two solid surfaces in contact
tension
Force, extending or pulling apart
Contact force
One that acts by direct contact
Hooked law
Hookes law Says that the extension of the spring is directly proportional to the force on the spring
Newton’s first law
If the resultant force of an object, zero, stays at rest, if it is stationary, or keeps moving with the same speed in the same direction
Newton’s second law
F=ma
Where F= unbalanced force (N) m= mass and a=acceleration
Newton’s third law
When two objects interact with each other, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other
