forces Flashcards
a push or pull one body exerts on another
force
an object at rest stays at rests unless acted upon by a net force
Newtons 1st law of motion
tendency of an object to resist any change in motion
inertia
combination of all forces that act on an object
net force
every object exerts a force on every other object “Felt as a pull”
gravity
amount of matter or “stuff” object has measure in KG(kilograms)
mass
measure of force of gravity on an objects mass
weight
the net force acting on an object causes the object to accelerate in relation to the size of the force and the mass of the object
F=ma force=mass x acceleration
newtons 2nd law of motion
opposes motion between 2 surfaces that are touching eachother
friction
resists getting an object moving(this is when objects aren’t moving)
static friction
resists keeping an object moving (happens while its moving)
kinetic friction
to every action theres an equal(in size) and opposite(in direction) reacrion force
newtons 3rd law of motion
anything thrown or shot through air
projectile
forcing acting toward the center of a curved or circular path
centripicle force
force required to stop a moving object “mass on the move”
momentum
