Newton Laws Of Motion Flashcards
Force
A push or a pull exterted on an object in order to change the motion of the object.
Motion
A change in position over time.
Net Force
The combination of all the forces acting in an object.
Speed
Distance travled per rate of time. Speed = distance/time
Velocity
The speed and direction of an object.
Acceleration
The rate at which velocity changes over time.
Newton’s First Law
An object at rest will remain at rest and an objectin motion will stay in motion unless acted upon on an outside force.
Newton’s Second Law
Force = mass x accelleration.
Newton’s Third Law
For every action there is and equal but opposite reaction.
Inertia
The tendency of an object to resist being moved or if the object is moving,to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object.
Friction
A force that resists motion.
Mass
The amount of matter in an object.
Gravity
An attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.
