Newton's 1st Law (Law of Inertia)
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Newton's Second Law
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Newton's Third Law
For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force
Force
A push or pull exerted on an object; measured in Newtons
Net Force
The combination of all forces acting on an object
Gravitational Force (AKA Weight Force)
an attractive force that acts between any two objects
Normal Force
the force perpendicular to and away from the surface acting on an object
Thrust Force
A general term for the forces that move objects such as rockets, planes, cars, and people
Friction Force
force that opposes motion of an object when two surfaces are in contact
Applied Force
a force which is applied to an object by a person or another object
Tension Force
The force that is transmitted through a string, rope, cable or wire when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends
Spring Force
The force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring upon any object that is attached to it
Lift Force
force acting on a body in a fluid in a direction perpendicular to the fluid flow
Air Resistant Force
Force that air exerts on an object moving through it.
Mass
the amount of matter in an object; measure in kilograms
Newton
unit for force; 1 N= 1 kg*m/s^2
Gravitation Force Equation (AKA Weight Equation)
W= mg
inertia
The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
