Forces Review Flashcards
Dynamics
The study of the causes of motion why do objects move the way thery do
Newtons first law and name
Law of inertia
An object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion until acted on by an outside force
Newtons second law and name
law of forces
The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass and directly proportional to an balnced fore acting upon it
Newtons third law and name
Law of action/reaction
For every force there is an equal and opposite reaction
Tension
A stretching force exerted bt a device as a sting tope or cable. tension is uniform throughout the rope
Mass
The quantity of matter in an object
weight
A measure of the force of gravity acting on an object
What kind of force is friction
electrostatic force
Universal gravitation
Objects are pulled toward the center of the earth because e the earth is surrounded by a gravitational feild
Feild strength
based on the strength of the field in different regions. acceleration due to gravity EG 9.81
Feild strength formula
g= Gm/r^2
what is the G value
6.673x10^-11
