| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a free body diagram? | All forces acting on an object. |
| 4 types of friction? | Sliding, Rolling, Fluid, Static. |
| unbalanced forces | an object that is moving |
| balanced forces | an object that is still |
| force | power applied to an object (something that makes motion) |
| newton | metric unit for weight (N) |
| tension | pulling force |
| compression | pushing force |
| vector | an arrow with the force moving |
| net force | total amount of force used |
| newton's second force | acceleration applied to an object force= mass *acceleration |
| newton's first force | an object will stay still until acted upon |
| newton's third law | with an action comes an opposite reaction |
| increasing friction | rough surfaces are increasing friction |
| friction | resistance of an object that encounters when 2 objects are moving over another |
| decreasing friction | smoother surfaces |
| rolling forces | the friction between rolling object and the surface it rolls on. ~only a small point of contact(wheel will roll on contact) |
| static forces | friction between 2 surfaces that are not moving past each other. |
| sliding | the force that opposes the motion of 2 surfaces sliding past each other. |
| fluid forces | when an object is moving through liquid or gases |
