Kramer, Motion Chap. 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Newton's First Law | An object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest, unless acted on by an outside force. |
| Newton's Second Law | Force equals mass times acceleration |
| Newton's Third Law | For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. |
| Force | A push or a pull |
| Friction | The attractive force between particles that slows down two objects that slide against each other. |
| Balanced Forces | When the net force on an object equals zero and the object does not move. |
| Unbalanced Forces | When the net forces on an object are not equal and the object moves. |
| Net Force | The sum of all the forces acting on an object |
| Weight | The force that gravity exerts on an object. |
| Mass | How much space an object takes up. |
| Center of Mass | Point in a object that moves as if all of the object's mass were concentrated at that point. |
