Forces

Question 1

A push or pull one body exerts on another.

Answer 1

Force

Question 2

An object moving at a constant velocity keeps moving at that velocity, an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a net force.

Answer 2

Newtons 1st law

Question 3

Tendency of an object to resist any change in motion.

Answer 3

Inertia

Question 4

Combination of all forces acted upon 1 object.

Answer 4

Net Force

Question 5

Every object exerts a force on every other object. (felt as a pull)

Answer 5

Gravity

Question 6

Amount of matter an object has.

Answer 6

Mass

Question 7

Measure of a force of gravity on an objects mass; how hard the object is pulled toward the center of the earth.

Answer 7

Weight

Question 8

To every action there’s an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction force.

Answer 8

3rd Law of Motion

Question 9
