Term
newton's first law
Definition
an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion maintains its velocity unless it experiences a net force
Term
inertia
Definition
tendency of an object to resist a change in motion unless an outside force acts on the object
Term
newtons second law
Definition
the unbalanced force acting on an object equals the objects mass times it acceleration
Term
newtons second law
Definition
net force = mass x acceleration
Term
newtons 2nd law SI unit
Definition
(N)
Term
pound
Definition
(ib) unit for force
Term
newtons second law
Definition
the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force on the object and inversely proportional to object's mass
Term
newtons second law equation
Definition
acceleration= netfore/mass
Term
weight
Definition
a measure of the gravitaional force extended on an object
Term
weight equation
Definition
weight= mass x free fall acceleration
Term
law of universal gravitaion
Definition
all objects in the universe attract each other through the force of gravity
Term
uiversal gravitation equation
Definition
f=g m1m2/d2
Term
free fall
Definition
the motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on a body
Term
terminal velocity
Definition
the constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity
Term
projectile motion
Definition
the curved path that an object follows when thrown, launched or otherwise projected bear the surface of earth
Term
newtons third law
Definition
for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force
Term
action force
Definition
the force exerted on an object
Term
reaction force
Definition
the force that is given
Term
momentum
Definition
a quanitity defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object
Term
momentum equation
Definition
momrntum= mass x velocity
Term
momentum SI units
Definition
(kg.m/s)
Term
law of conservation of momentum
Definition
the total amount of momentum in an isolated system is conserved
