forces Flashcards
A push or pull one body exerts on another.
force
an object moving at a constant velocity keeps moving at that velocity an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a net
Newtons first law
the tendency of an object to resist any change in motion roll eureka inertia…
inertia
combination of all forces that act on an object…
net force
every object exerts a force on every other object this force is gravity this force is felt as pull
grayity
the amount of matter or stuff object has measured in kilograms
inertia
mass
is the measure of force of gravity on an objects mass how hard object is pulled toward center of earth
weight
friction that resists getting an object moving (this is when objects are not moving)
static friction
opposes motion between 2 surfaces that are touching each other.
Friction
resists keeping an object moving (happens while it is moving)
Kinetic friction
To every action there is an equal (in size) and opposite
(in direction) reaction force
Newton’s 3rd law of motion
force acting toward the center of a curved or circular path
centripetal force
Mass on the move! the force required to stop a moving object.
momentum
anything that’s thrown or shot through air
projectile
