Forces Flashcards
A push or a pull one body exerts on another
Force
A object moving keeps moving at that velocity, a object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon an outside force
Newtons 1st Law
The tendency of an object to resist any change in motion
Inertia
Combination of all forces that act an a object
Net Force
Every object exerts a force on every other object
Gravity
The amount of stuff that makes up an object
Mass
Measure of force of gravity on an objects Mass: how hard an object is pulled toward the center of earth
Weight
To every action is an equal and opposite reaction
Newtons 3rd law
Mass on the move
Momentum
Anything that is thrown or shot threw the air
Projectile
Force acting toward the center of a curved or circular path
Centripetal Force
Opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching each other
Friction
Resists getting an object to move
Static Friction
Resists keeping an object moving
Kinetic Friction
Force = Mass x Acceleration
Newtons 2nd Law
