undefined, object

sliding friction is less than
static
----><----=0
zero force/ equal force
Newton's 2nd Law
acceleration of an object is equal to the net force action on it divided by the objects mass
projectile motion
the motion of a falling object after its given an initial forward velocity
----->----> = ---->
adding forces
known fluids are
water and mixture of air
a force can cause
a resting object to move or it can accelerate a moving object by changing the objects speed or direction
terminal velocity
constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity
earths gravity acts downward
toward the earths core
projectile motion
a ball is thrown and is already on its way down
force
push or pull that acts on an object
wight formula
mass X acceleration due to gravity
Newtons 1st Law
any object in motion in motion will stay in motion; any object not in motion will remain at rest
static friction always acts in the direction
OPPoSITE to that of the applied force
example of a zero net force
TUG OF WAR
Rolling friction
change in shape at the point of rolling contact
air resistance
fluid friction acting on an object moving through the air
unbalanced forces
forces that result when the net force acting on an object is not equal to zero
what is mass?
mass is a measure of the inertia of an object;
Sliding friction
a force that opposes the direction of motion of an object as it slides over a surface
law of inertia
the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion
newton formula
1m/s^2
a force is measured in
newtrons
gravity causes object to accelerate downward WHEREAS AIR resistence
acts in the direction opposite
an objects weight
the product of the objects mass and acceleration
balanced forces
forces that combine to produce net force of zero
weight
the force of gravity acting on an object
4 types of friction
static, sliding, rolling, fluid
as objects fall the upward force of air resistance becomes equal to
the downward force of gravity
gravity
a force that acts between any two masses
fluid friction
opposes the motion of an object through a fluid
the acceleration of an object....
is ALWAYS in the same direction as the net force.
--><------ =<----
subtracting forces
Acceleration
acceleration=net force/mass
what is weight?
weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object
static friction
the friction force that acts on objects that are not moving
Newtons 2nd Law
the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on it divided by the objects mass
newton
the force that causes a 1- kilogam mass to accelerate at a rate of 1 meter per second each second
when a round object rolls over a flat floor both the object and the floor are
bent slightly out of shape
friction
a force that opposes the motion of objects that touch as they move past each other
net force
the overal force acting on an object after all the forces are cobined
mass
a measure of the inertia of an object and depends on the amount of matter the object contains
