Q

Tension Force (FT)

A

-occurs with ropes, chains, strings, etc.
-only a pull

17
Q

Kinetic Friction Force (Ffk)

A

-friction that acts to slow down an object in motion
-sliding friction
-resistance force

18
Q

Static Friction (Ffs)

A
  • fiction that acts when an object is “on the verge” of motion
    -Prevents object from moving
    -not moving but you can see that it could/ would move
19
Q

Centripetal Net Force

A

FNetc

20
Q

Centripetal net force (FNetc)

A

the net (total) force directed toward the center of an object’s circular path

21
Q

Tangential Velocity

A

VT

22
Q

Tangential Velocity (VT)

A

velocity at the line tangent to the circular path
(think straight line out of circle

23
Q

Centripetal Acceleration

A

(ac)

24
Q

Centripetal Acceleration (ac)

A

acceleration directed towards the center of a circular path

25
Q

Inertia

A

The tendency of an object to resist being moved or if already in motion to resist a change in speed or direction

26
Q

Issac Newton’s First Law

A

a body at rest remains at rest. A body and motion remains in motion in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

27
Q

Law of Inertia

A

-Objects continue to move by themselves
-a force is needed to overcome friction and to set an object in motion initially

28
Q

How do we measure inertia?

A

Mass: the about of matter in an object, different from weight

29
Q

Normal Force

A

FN

30
Q

Normal Force (FN)

A

A force that acts on a surface in a direction perpendicular to the surface
-molecules in a solid move
-equal force from both objects

31
Q

Applied Force

A

(Fa)

32
Q

Applied Force (Fa)

A

used when talking about people or unknown forces being applied
