Term
a push or pull
Definition
force
Term
the combination of all the forces acting on an objet
Definition
net force
Term
when two or more forces exert on an object and if their effects cancel eachother and they do not cause a change in the object's motion
Definition
balanced forces
Term
causes moving objects to stop
Definition
friction
Term
type of friction that prevents an object from moving when a force is applied
Definition
static friction
Term
friction slows down an objects that slides
Definition
sliding friction
Term
occurs anytime an object speeds up, slows down, or changes its direction of motion
Definition
acceleration
Term
tells how fast an object is moving and in what direction
Definition
velocity
Term
form of frictionthat acts to slow down any object moving in the air
Definition
air resistance
Term
the point in an object that moves as if all the object's mass were concentrated at that point
Definition
center of mass
Term
due to the microscopic Roughness of two surfaces
Definition
Sliding friction
Term
In the acceleration equation, the letter(a) represents what?
Definition
accleration
Term
The letter (m) represents what?
Definition
mass
Term
The letter (F) represents what?
Definition
net force
Term
the condition that occurs in free fall when the weight of an object seeps to be zero
Definition
weightlessness
Term
the force exerted by two objects on eachother
Definition
action reaction force pair
Term
What kind of force is always perpendicular to the motion and always points toward the center of the circle
Definition
centripetal
Term
What Law describes something else that happens when one object exerts a force on another object? The forces always act in equal but opposite pairs
Definition
3rd Law of Motion
Term
What Law connects force, accleration, and mass? It tells how to calculate the acceleration of an object if its mass and the forces acting on it are known.
Definition
2nd Law of Motion
Term
What does Newton's first law say?
Definition
if the net force is zero, the object remains at rest or contitues in a straight line
Term

Definition
m/s squared
Term
1 Newton is equal to...
Definition
1 kg*m/s squared
