Forces and Motion Flashcards
what is a force
a push or a pull
what can you measure forces with
spring scales
total amount of force acting on an object
net force
when the net force is 0 their is a __ force
balanced
when an object accelerates their are ___ forces
unbalanced
a force that opposes motion between two objects that are touching.
frictionn
friction causes __ acceleration
negative
True or False
friction effects every object on earth
true
friction between 2 surfaces that are not moving past each other
static friction
friction caused by two surfaces sliding past each other
sliding friction
friction between a rolling object and the surface it rolls on
rolling friction
friction that is caused but the motion of an object through a fluid
Fluid friction
fluid friction is a __ or a __
gas or liquid
the force of attraction between all objects
gravity
gravity causes objects to accelerate ____-
downward
any two massas exert an ____ force on each other
attractive
the strength of the force depends on the ___ of the object and the ___ between them
mass - distance
the gravitationa force exerted on an object
weight
weight is not the same as ___
mass
as long as an object is ____ ____ nothing exerts an upward force on it, causing ___
free falling - weightlessness
if the earth had no air then objects would fall at the ____ ___
same rate
acceleration caused by gravity is? (called g force)

air resistance
fluid friction __ as an objects speed ___.
increases- increases
