Newton's Laws Of Motion Flashcards
Force
A push or a pull exerted on a object in order to change the motion of that object
Motion
A change in position over time
Net Force
The combination of all forces acting on an object
Speed
Distance traveled per rate of time. Speed = distance/time
Velocity
The speed and direction of an object
Acceleration
The rate at which velocity changes of time/
Newton’s First Law
An object at rest will remain at rest and a object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force
Newton’s Second Law
Force = mass x acceleration
Newton’s Third Law
For every action there is an 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 the objects that have mass.
