Forces Flashcards
a push or a pull one body exerts on another
what is a force
an object moving at a constant velocity keeps moving at that velocity- an object at rest stays in rest unless acted upon
newtons 1st law
the 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 force is felt as a pull
gravity
amount of matter an object has measured in kilos
mass
measure of force of gravity on an object how hard they pull center of earth
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 second law
is a that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching each other
friction
resists getting an moving
static friction
sliding rolling resists keeping an object moving (happens when its moving)
kinetic friction
to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction force
newtons 3rd law
anything that is thrown or shot through the air
projectile
force acting the center of a curved or circular path
centripetal force
mass on the move the force required to stop a moving object
momentum
