Question | Answer |
---|---|
normal formal | when all forces are balanced and acceleration is zero |
net force | for every action force, there is an equal |
g | acceleration due to gravity |
newton | kg*m/s, unit of force |
applied force | push or pull to get something in motion |
kinetic friction | opposes motion and is what must be overcome to keep an object moving |
inertia | the tendency of an object to maintain its state of motion (at rest or moving with a constant velocity) |
force of gravity | the force of the earth or planet acting on a mass |
static friction force | opposes motion and is what must be overcome to start an object moving |
mass | measure in kg and is not affected by gravity |
terminal velocity | when weight and air resistance balance out for a falling object, it no longer accelerates and thus falls at a constant velocity for the rest of its fall |
newtons 1st law | objects remain at rest or moving at a constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force |
newtons 2nd law | f=ma |
newtons 3rd law | for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force |
coefficient of fruition (μ) | depends on the surface texture |
equilibrium | when all forces are balanced and acceleration is zero |
