yuh Flashcards
Force
any push or pull on other object
Inertia
The propernty of an object that reisist change in motion
Newton
SI unit of force
Net force
The combination of all forces acting on an object
Newtons First last
an object at
rest will stay at rest and an object in
motion will continue in motion with the
same velocity unless acted on by an
outside force
NEWTON’s Second Law
relates
the net force acting on an object to
its mass and acceleration
WEIGHT
the force of gravity
acting on an object
AIR RESISTANCE
a force that acts
against the force of gravity on an object in
free fall
NEWTON’s Third Law
whenever
one object exerts a force on another
second object exerts an equal and
opposite force on the first
MASS
the amount of matter an
object is made of
ACCELERATION
the rate at which velocity
changes; an object accelerates if its speed
changes, if its direction changes, if its
direction changes and if both speed and
direction changes
FRICTION
a force that opposes
motion between two object that are
touching
Which statement illustrates Newton’s first law?
a stone will not move unless something pushes or pulls it.
a ball rolling across the floor eventually slows down
as a car comes to a stop, the passengers continue to move forward
all of the above
All of the above
Which object has the greatest inertia?
a tennis ball
a beach ball
abowling ball
a volleyball
A bowling ball
What force causes a skater sliding on the ice to gradually slow down? balanced force
