3
forces
interaction between two bodies, a push or a pull
New cards
4
Newton’s first law
an object with continue in its state of motion unless compelled to change by a force impressed upon it
New cards
5
Law of Inertia
property of objects, their natural resistance to changes in their state of motion (measured in mass)
New cards
6
Newton’s Second Law
predicts what will happen when an unbalanced force does act on an object
New cards
7
Newton’s third law
to every action, there is an equal, but opposite reaction
New cards
8
Normal force
the component of the contact force that’s perpendicular to the surface
New cards
9
Friction force
The component of the contact force that’s parallel to the surface
New cards
10
Static friction
results from the weak electrostatic bonds formed between the surfaces when the object is at rest
New cards
11
Kinetic (sliding) friction
less than the static friction force
New cards
12

also known as a ramp, is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle, with one end higher than the other.
