Force & Motion - Unit 3 - 8th Grade
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Acceleration | change in an object’s motion (speed and / or direction); caused by unbalanced forces; measured in m/s2 |
| Force | a push or pull acting on an object |
| Mass | a measure of the amount of matter in a sample |
| Net Force | measurement of the total forces exerted on an object, measured in Newtons (N) |
| Newton's 1st Law | the tendency of an object to resist change in motion unless acted upon by an outside net force |
| Newton's 2nd Law | when an object that has a constant mass is acted upon by a force, the object will accelerate in the same direction as the force applied |
| Newton's 3rd Law | for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction |
