Force+Newtons Law's
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 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 an object that moves as if all of the object's mass were concentrated at that point. |
| Friction | Force that acts on oppose sliding between two surfaces that are touching. |
| Force | A push or pull. |
| Net Force | Combination of all forces acting on an object. |
| Newton's 1st Law | States that if the net force acting on an object is zero, the object will remain at rest or move in a straight line with a constant speed. |
| Newton's 2nd Law | States that an object acted upon by net force will accelerate in a direction of the force, and that the acceleration equals the net force divided by the object's mass. |
| Newton's 3rd Law | States that forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. |
| Unbalanced Forces | Two or more forces act upon an object that do not cancel,an cause the object to accelerate. |
| Weight | Gravitational force between an object and Earth. |
