Newton's Laws Study Guide

Equation of force

Equation of force

F=m*a

Equation of velocity

V=d/t

Velocity

Speed in a given direction

Newton’ first law of motion

An object in motion will stay in motion at the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

Equation of acceleration

A=v/t

Acceleration

When an object changes speed or changes direction

Rolling friction

The force resisting the motion of a rolling body on a surface

Sliding friction

The resistance created by any two objects when sliding against each other

Fluid friction

When fluids are moving relative to each other

What are the 3 types of friction?

Fluid friction, rolling friction, and sliding friction

Spring force

The force required to extend or compress a spring, the spring will push or pull against whatever you are doing it to

Potential energy

The energy possessed by an object of its relation to another object

Static

Original form of an object with no energy

Buoyant force

The upward force that’s on an object completely or partly in a fluid

Archimedes principle

A result when an object is totally or partially immersed in a fluid is subject to an upward force equal in magnitude to the weight of the fluid

Friction

The resistance that one surface or object encounter when moving over another

Lift force

The force that opposes the weight of an object and causes it to rise into the air

Gravity

The force that attracts a body towards the center of the earth or any other form of mass

Acceleration of gravity

9.8m/s/s

Applied force

Force which is applied to an object by another object

Newton

The main label of force

Viscosity

Thickness of a fluid

Newton’s third law of motion

For every action (force), there is an equal and opposite reaction (force)

Air resistance

The force exerted by the air on things moving through it
