Force
A push or pull on an object.
2
New cards
Net Force
The sum of all forces acting on an object.
3
New cards
Inertia
The property of an object to resist a change in its state of motion. A measure of “laziness”.
4
New cards
Mass
The amount of matter an object has (measured in kg)
5
New cards
Mechanical Equilibrium
When the net force is zero, the object is in mechanical equilibrium.
An object in mechanical equilibrium is stable without changes in motion. If an object is NOT accelerating it is in equilibrium whether it is moving or not.
6
New cards
Normal Force (Support Force)
The upward force that balances the weight of an object.
