What gives energy to an object? | forces |
What determines weight? | gravity |
What is the SI unit for force? | newton |
What is the force that opposes motion? | friction |
What is Newton's first law of motion? | an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force |
The inertia of a resting or moving object can be overcome by what? | an outside force |
What are types of friction? | sliding, rolling, and fluid friction |
What is Newton's second law of motion? | states that force equals mass X acceleration |
The acceleration of an object is directly affected by what? | any change in its mass or in the force applied to it |
What is Newton's third law of motion? | states that for every action exerted on an object an equal and opposite reaction results |
When the forces of an object are unbalanced what occurs? | motion |
What are the four universal forces? | gravity, electric, magnetic, & nuclear |
What is gravitational force? | the attraction between objects in the universe |
What forces depend upon the charges of objects? | electric & magnetic |
What force holds together the particles in the nucleus of an atom? | nuclear |
