6-Laws of Motion
Laws of Motion
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Force of Gravity | a force that PULLS every object toward the center of the Earth |
| Weight | the measure of how hard gravity pulls an object |
| Magnetic Forces | the force between two magnets or between a magnet and certain metals such as iron that can push back |
| Electrostatic Forces | This force has to do with the charge an object carries. |
| Mechanical Forces | This is a push or pull that one thing exerts on a system's state of rest or uniform motion |
| Friction | This is a force that slows things down |
| Spring Force | When an object changes shape when a force is applied to them. |
| Newton's First Law of Motion | Things do not change their motion unless a force acts on them. |
| Balanced Force | separate forces that combine to cancel each other out to make a net force of zero |
| Unbalance Force | a force that is not cancelled out by another force |
| Newton's Second Law of Motion | When a force continues to act on an object, it will continue to move - unless acted upon by another force. |
| Potential Energy | stored energy |
| Kinetic Energy | the energy of motion |
| Acceleration | increasing speed |
| Negative Acceleration | a force causing a moving object to slow down |
| Newton's Third Law of Motion | for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction |
| Force | a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction |
| Motion | describes change in an object's position with respect to time and in comparison to other objects |
