Forces Flashcards
a push or pull one body exerts on another
force
an object moving at a constant velocity keeps moving until it is acted upon by a net force
newtons first law
the tendency of an object to resist motion
inertia
combination of all forces that act on one object
net force
every object exerts a force on every other object felt as a pull
gravity
amount of stuff that makes up an object
mass
force of gravity on your mass
weight
to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction force
newtons 3rd law
mass on the move
momentium
anything that is thrown or shot through the air
projectile
force acting toward the center of a curved or circular path
centipital force
force created when 2 surfaces rub together
friction
friction that resists getting an object moving
static friction
friction that resists keeping an object moving
kinetic friction
mass times acceleration
newtons second law
