Force
a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object
2
New cards
Net Force
the overall force acting on an object when all of the forces acting on it are combined
3
New cards
Newton's First Law of Motion
a scientific law stating that objects at rest remain at rest, and objects in motion remain in motion with the same velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
4
New cards
Inertia
the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity or resist changes to acceleration
5
New cards
Newton's Second Law of Motion
a scientific law stating that the acceleration of an object increases with increased force and decreases with increased mass
6
New cards
Centripetal Force
any force that keeps an object moving in a circle
7
New cards
Contact Forces
a force generated by a push or pull. these include frictional, tension, normal, air resistance, applied, and spring forces
8
New cards
Sliding Friction
the result of an object sliding across a surface
9
New cards
Air Resistance Force
a special type of frictional force that acts upon objects as they travel through the air
