Definition
| The combination of all the forces acting on an object. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Two or more forces whose effects cancel each other out AND do not change the motion of the object. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Two or more forces acting on an object that DO NOT CANCLE EACH OTHER OUT – and cause the object to accelerate (+)/(-)/Change directions. |

Term
| NEWTON’S 1St LAW (Part 1) |
|
Definition
| If the net force acting on an object is zero, the object will remain at rest. |
|
|
Term
| NEWTON'S 2ND LAW OF MOTION |
|
Definition
| The acceleration of an objects equals the net force divided by the mass - and is in the direction of the net force. |
|
|
Term
| NEWTON’S 1ST LAW (Part 2) |
|
Definition
| If the object is already moving, it will continue to move in a straight line with a constant speed. |

Term
|
Definition
| The attraction between the atoms of two surfaces that are touching and are not moving. |
|

Term
|
Definition
| Forces always act in EQUAL but OPPOSITE pairs. (or equal but opposite reactions). |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The friction between two surfaces that are sliding past each other and act in the direction OPPOSITE to the motion. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The force that acts to resist movement between two surfaces that are rolling (one or both surfaces may be round/roll) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The force that brings nearly everything to a stop and opposes sliding between two surfaces that are touching. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A force of attraction between any tow objects that have mass. The closer the objects the more attraction. The greater the mass the greater the attraction. |

|
Definition
| A form of friction that acts to slow down any object moving in the air. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The point in an object that moves as if the entire object’s mass were concentrated at that point. |

Definition
| The tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion. |
