v Flashcards
A push or a pull on an object is called a .
force
A is a push or pull on one object or another that is touching it.
contact force
A force that one object can apply to another object without touching it is a
noncontact force.
is an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.
Gravity
is the amount of matter in an object, often measured in kilograms(kg).
Mass
is the gravitational force exerted on an object.
Weight
is a force that resists the motion of two surfaces that are touching.
Friction
Forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force is zero are
balanced forces
Forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force that is not zero are .
unbalanced
The tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion is called .
inertia
According to, if the net force on an object is zero, the motion of the object does not change
