| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a force that acts in a direction opposite to the motion of the moving object | friction |
| kind of friction results from objects sliding over each other | sliding friction |
| kind of friction is produced by objects such wheels or ball bearings | rolling friction |
| friction between two solid surfaces can be either ________ friction or ___________ friction | sliding; rolling |
| kind of friction occurs when an object moves across or through a fluid | fluid friction |
| three examples of fluids | air, water, oil |
| substances in the liquid and gas phase | fluids |
| one example of fluid friction | air resistance |
| kinds of substances change sliding friction into fluid friction | lubricants |
| three examples of lubricants | oil, grease, wax |
| three ways in which friction is beneficial | walking, car brakes, chalk on hands, etc |
| the tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion | inertia |
| an object at rest will stay at rest and an object will stay in motion unless a force acts upon it | Newton's First Law of Motion |
| the formula that expresses Newton's Second Law of Motion | F=ma |
| Force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at one meter per second squared | One Newton |
| One kilogram X meters/second squared | Units for a Newton |
| for every action there is an equal & opposite reaction | Newton's Third Law of Motion |
| a moving bus stops you fall forward | Newton's First Law of Motion |
| a bird's wings enable it to fly through the air | Newton's Third Law of Motion |
| a small car gets better gas mileage than a large car | Newton's Second Law of Motion |
