Question | Answer |
---|---|
Definition of Friction | a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching |
Definition of Rolling Friction | The friction that occurs between wheels and the ground; usually less than sliding friction |
Definition of Force | a push of a pul; all forces have both size and direction |
Definition of Fluid Friction | the friction between a fluid (liquid or gas) and something else |
Definition of Net Force | The force that results from combining all the forces exerted on an object |
Definition of Balanced Force | Forces on an object that cause the net force to be zero; balanced forces do not cause a change in motion or acceleration |
Definition of Sliding Friction | The friction that occurs when something slides across a surface |
Definition of Lubricant | A substance applied to surfaces to reduce the friction between them |
Definition of Unbalanced Force | Forces on an object that cause the net force to be other than zero; unbalanced forces produce a change in motion or acceleration |
Definition of Static Friction | When a force is applied to an object but does not cause the object to move |
Definition of Newton | The SI Unit of Force |
