Newton's Third Law of Motion
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 |
