Laws of motion Flashcards
Any push or pull
Force
6 types of forces
Applied force, Gravitational force, Normal force, Elastic force, Tension force, Frictional force
Force that is applied on an object through direct pushing or pulling
Applied force
Force exerted by gravity
Gravitational force
Force that is perpendicular to the surface an object is in contact with.
Normal force
Force present in springs
Elastic force
Force that is present in cables, strings, cords, and other similar materials
Tension force
Force that impedes motion
frictional force
The law of Inertia states that…
A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in constant motion with continue to be in constant motion unless acted upon by a net external force.
Measure of inertia
Mass
When was Isaac Newton born?
December 25, 1642
Law of acceleration states that…
acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass.
Law of interaction states that…
for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
He coined the word friction
Galileo Galilei
Types of inertia
Inertia of rest, motion, and direction
