What is the definition of friction?
friction is the resistance against the movement of an object.
what is an unbalanced force
changing an objects motion
what is a balanced force
not changing an objects motion
what is air resistance
opposite force of gravity
what is gravity
non-contact force that pulls, gives an object weight
what is magnetism
non contact force
what is mass
how much matter is inside you
what is weight
measure of gravity on mass
what is newtons first law
an object in motion will remain in motion, or an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force
what is friction
residence against the movement of an object
what is the fulcrum
the turning point of a leaver
what is the effort
force needed to cause movement
what is the load
the resistance to motion that a leaver works against
what is a lever
A lever is a simple machine that uses the turning effect of a force to make a task easier.
what is a first class lever
Fulcrum lies between the effort and the load
