- elastic force
- the force caused by tension or compression
- Newton's 2nd Law of Motion
- Force is the product of mass and acceleration
- velocity
- speed in a given direction
- balanced forces
- equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions
- projectile
- an object that is thrown
- fluid friction
- force exerted on an object due to a liquid or a gas
- air resistance
- frictional force air exerts on a moving object; acts opposite in direction to the object's motion
- inertia
- name for resistance to a change in motion. An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and a moving object tends to keep movin in a straight line until it is affected by a force.
- force
- a push or a pull
- friction
- the force exerted when two surfaces rub together
- centripetal force
- the inward force on a body moving in a curved path around another body
- acceleration
- the change in velocity in a given amount of time
- speed
- the amount of distance in a given amount of time
- Newton's 1st Law of Motion
- An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
- sliding friction
- force exerted when two objects slide past one another
- weight
- is the measure of gravitional force on a mass
- net force
- the overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on an object are added together.
- rolling friction
- force exerted by rolling objects
- mass
- the amount of matter in an object
- Newton's 3rd Law of Motion
- For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
- unbalanced forces
- the forces acting on a object that cause a change in velocity; making the object speed up, slow down, or change direction
- What is the first law of Motion called
- the law of inertia
- gravity
- A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses
- formula for Newton's 2nd Law
- f = m x a
