Friction | force that opposes motion between two touching surfaces |
Force | a push or a pull |
Balenced forces | two forces equal in size but opposite in direction |
Unbalenced forces | forces that are unequal in size |
Inertia | tendency of an object to resist a change in motion |
Net Force | total resulting force |
Gravity | force of attraction between the Earth and other objects |
Air resistance | the force air pressure exerts on an object |
Newton's 1st Law (example) | A soccer ball sits on the grass - it doesn not move because no force acts on it. |
Newton's 2nd Law (example) | it takes a force of 10.0N to accelerate a 5.0kg mass to 2.0m/s/s |
Newton's 3rd Law (example) | A rocket takes off. |
Newton's 1st Law (define) | resistance to change in motion |
Newton's 2nd Law (formula) | mass times acceleration |
Newton | standard unit of force |
pressure | weight or foece per unit area |
bouyancy | the upward force of water |
weight | force due to gravity |
Reaction force | a force that occures with every action force |
Mass | is a measure of inertia |
Third Law (example) | a firehose throwing a firefighter backwards after being turned on |
