CPO Science Chapter 3


AB
Newton's first law of motionUnless you apply force, things tend to keep on doing what they were doing in the first place.
Newton's second law of motionForce causes an object to accelerate while the object's mass resists acceleration.
Newton's third law of motionFor every action, there is a reaction force equal in strength and opposite in direction.
ForceA push or pull, or any action that has the ability to change motion.
PoundsEqual to 4.48 newtons.
NewtonsSmaller unit than the pound.
InertiaThe property of an object to resist changing its state of motion.
MassMeasue of the inertia of an object.
KilogramsMeasures mass. One of the primary units of the metric system.
AccelerationChanges in speed or direction.
Net ForceThe total of all forces.
EquilibriumWhen forces on an object are balanced, and net force is zero. No change in motion.
GravityForce that pulls every mass toward every other mass.
WeightThe force created by gravity of objects.
