| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| force | a push or a pull |
| system | organized group of related objects that interact to complete a task |
| Interacting Objects | objects that affect one another |
| collide | to strike or hit something with any amount of force |
| motion | the change in an object's position with respect to time |
| Newton | SI unit of measurement for force |
| Newton's Third Law | for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force |
| spring scale | a tool that measures a pulling force |
| scale | a tool that measures a pushing force |
| mass | the amount of matter in an object |
| weight | how much gravity is pulling on an object |
| volume | how much space an object takes up |
| qualitative | evidence that relies on the observations using the five senses |
| quantitative | evidence that is reported in number form |
| action force | a push or a pull directly on an object in one direction |
| reaction force | a push or pull in the opposite direction of the initiating force |
| contact force | a force which acts on an object while physically touching the object |
| non-contact force | a force which acts on an object without coming physically in contact with it |
| Normal | the support force that exists when an object touches the surface of a stable object |
| F(N) | normal force |
| F(T) | tension force |
| F(A) | applied force |
