Annis Force
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. |
