Forces, Motion and Energy Definitions

AB
Force 1A push or a pull on an object
Force 2Force = Mass * Acceleration
Newton 1The unit for force symbolized by N
Newton 2The unit of force named for the scientist, Isaac Newtonm who explained th erelationship between force and motion
Friction 1THe force that occurs when two surfaces move past each other
Friction 2The 3 types of friction are rolling sliding and fluid
Gravity 1The force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth
Gravity 2The pull or attraction that an object like the Earth exerts on other objects. The strength depends on the masses of the object and the distance between them
Weight-common usageA measure of how something is.(the same as mass)
Weight-Scientific usageThe measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, measured in Newtons.
Weight - formulaWeight = mass * gravity
Terminal velocityWhen air resistance matches the force of gravity and the object falls at a constant velocity
Projectile motionThe curved path an object follows when thrown or propelled near the Earth's surface
Spring Scalean instrument that measures force in Newtons
MassThe fundamental concept meaning "How much matter there is in an object"
