Science Flashcards
It refers to the size or strength of the force
Magnitude
It is the force of attraction between all masses in the universe; especially the attraction of the earth’s mass and the bodies near its surface.
Gravitational Force
It is a straight line passing through the point of application and is parallel to the direction of the force
Line of Action
Unbalanced or Balanced: Causes change in direction
Unbalanced
Unbalanced Forces:
causes to ________/decelerate
causes change in ___________
starts _________ & stops in ____________
net force is __ to 0
forces act in _________/_________
Unbalanced Forces:
causes to accelerate/decelerate
causes change in direction
starts moving & stops in motion
net force is ≠ to 0
forces act in opposite/same direction
It is the force generated by 2 surfaces that contact and slide against each other
Frictional Force
Balanced Forces:
forces w/ _____________
keeps objects at ________
forces act on __________ direction
net force __ 0
Balanced Forces:
forces w/ equal magnitude
keeps objects at rest
forces act on opposite direction
net force = 0
Unbalanced or Balanced: Starts moving/stops moving
Unbalanced
It is the sum of all forces acting on an object
Net Force
Unbalanced or Balanced: Fnet is equal to 0
Balanced
Unbalanced or Balanced: causes to accelerate decelerate
Unbalanced
The change of position of an object with respect to time
Motion
It is a push or a pull of an Object
Force
It is the force exerted by the surface to prevent solid objects from passing through each other
Normal Force
Unbalanced or Balanced: Object is at rest
Balanced
