Forces and Motion
| Acceleration: a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time | Newton's 1 Law: an object at rest will sat at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts on the object |
| Force: a push or pull on an object | Inertia: an object's ability to resist any change in motion |
| Contact force: a push or pull on one object by another object that is touching it | |
| Newton's 2 Law,: law that states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the next force exerted on the object divided by the object's mass | |
| friction: a contact force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching | |
| Free-body diagram: a simple model to understand what will happen to an due to a force | |
| Net force: the combination of al the forces acting on an object |
