Forces Flashcards
Push or pull one body exerts on another
Force
Object moving at constant velocity, stays that velocity or object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by net force
Newtons First Law
Tendency of an object to resist any change in motion
Intertia
Combination of all forces that act on an object
Net Force
Every object exerts a force on every other object (force)
Gracvity
Amount of matter or “stuff” an object has
Mass
Measure of force of gravity on an objects mass; how hard object is pulled toward center of earth
Weight
To every action there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) and reaction force
Newtons 3rd law of motion
Mass on the move; force required to stop a moving object
Momentum
Thrown or shot through the air
Projectile
Force acting toward the center of a curved or circular path
Centripedal Force
Opposes motion between 2 surfaces that are touching each other
Friction
Resists getting object moving
Static Friction
Keeping an object moving
Kinetic Friction
force= mass x acceleration
Newtons second law
