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. |
