Forces Cause Motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Force | The pushing or pulling action of one object upon another, can change the shape or motion of an object |
| Friction | The resistance caused by moving one object against another |
| Gravity | the attraction objects have for one-another, strength of the attraction depends on their masses and the distance separating them |
| Pound | The English system uses this to measure weight |
| Inertia | The tendency of matter to stay at rest, true of objects in motion and at rest |
| Newton's first law of motion | The velocity of an object is not changed unless it is acted upon by an outside force |
| Newton's second law of motion | The acceleration of an object is directly related to the strength of the force and inversely related to the object's mass |
| Newton's third law of motion | For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction |
| law of universal gravitation | a particle of matter in the universe will attract another particle with a force known as gravity |
| newton | metric unit of force and weight, 1 = .22 pounds |
| acceleration | force/mass |
| force | mass x acceleration |
| Centripetal force | Any force that causes an object to travel in a curved path rather than a straight path |
| Centrifugal force | The force an object in rotary motion exerts due to its inertia as it resists change in direction; cannot exist without centripetal force |
