Forces
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 | Point in a object that moves as if all of the objects mass were concentrated at the point |
Force | a push or pull |
Friction | force that acts to oppose sliding between two surfaces that are touching |
Net Force | combination of all force acting on an object |
Newton's First Law of Motion | if the net force acting on an object is zero the object will remain at rest. |
Newton's Second Law of Motion | states that an object acted upon by a net force will accelerate in the direction of the force |
Newtons Third Law | Forces will always act in equal but opposite parts |
Unbalanced | two or more forces acting on an object that do not cancel and cause the object to accelerate |
Weight | Gravitational force between an object and Earth |
