Mr. VanTuinen
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Balanced Forces | Two or more forces whose effects cancel each other out and do not change the motion of an object. |
Center of Mass | The point in an object that moves as if all the object's mass were concentrated at that point. |
Force | A push or pull. |
Friction | Force that acts to oppose sliding between two surfaces that are touching. |
Net Force | The combination of all forces acting on an object. |
Newtons First Law of Motion | If the net force acting on an object is zero, the object remains at rest, or if the object is already moving, continues to move in a straight line with constant speed. |
Newtons Second Law of Motion | An object acted upon by a force will accelerate in the direction of the force. |
Newtons Third Law of Motion | Forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. |
Unbalanced Forces | Two or more forces acting on an object that do not cancel, and cause the object to accelerate. |
Weight | The gravitational force between you and earth. |
