CH 2 motion Study Guide

AB
ForceA push or pull exerted on an object
Net ForceThe overall force in an object when all the individual forces acting on an object are added together
Unbalanced ForceA nonzero Net Force which changes an objects motion
Balanced ForcesEqual forces acting on an object in opposite directions
InertiaThe tendancy of an object to resist any change in its motion
MassThe amount of matter in an object
FrictionThe force that one surface exerts on another when the two rub against each other
GravityThe force that pulls objects to the earth
ProjectileAn object that is thrown
Air ResistanceThe fluid friction experienced bye objects moving through the air
Terminal VelocityThe maximum velocity a falling object can achieve
WeightThe force of gravity on an object at the surface of the object
MomentumThe product of an objects mass and velocity
SatelliteAn object that travels around another object in space
Centripetal ForceA force that causes an object to move in a circle
Newtons First LawInertia: an object will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
Newton Second LawTThe force of an object is equal to the product of its accelleration and its mass: Force=massXaccelleration
