Forces Flashcards
A push or pull one body exerts on another.
A force.
Objects moving keep moving.
Newtons First Law.
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, felt as a pull.
Gravity.
Measure of force of gravity on an objects mass. How hard the object is pulled towards the center of earth.
Weight.
To every action there is an equal (in size) and opposite in direction) reaction force
Newtons 3rd law.
Mass on the move. Force required to stop object.
Momentum
Anything thrown or shot through 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 moving(when objects are not moving)
Static friction.
Mass times acceleration.
newtons second law
resists keeping object moving(while moving)
Kinetic friction
