Forces Flashcards
A push or pull one body exerts on another.
Force
An object in motion stays in motion.
Newtons First Law
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
Gravity
Amount of matter an object has.
Mass
The measure of force of gravity on an objects mass
Weight
Force= Mass x Acceleration
Newtons second law
A force opposing motion between 2 surfaces touching each other.
Friction
Friction that resists getting an object moving.
Static Friction
friction that resists keeping an object moving. (happens while its moving)
Kinetic Friction
To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
Newtons Third Law
Mass on the move.
Momentum
Anything thrown or shot through air.
Projectile
Force acting towards the center of a curved path.
Centripetal Force
