Physical Science For
Vocab over Force and Motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| force | a vector quantity that is capable of producing motion or a change in motion. |
| Balanced Force | Equal in magnitude but in opposite directions. No motion |
| Newton's First Law of Motion | An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by an external, unbalanced force. |
| Inertia | It is the natural tendency of an object to remain in a state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line |
| Newton's Second Law of Motion | a= F/M. acceleration is directly proportional to the force. Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. |
| Mass and Weight | amount of material particle. related to force of gravity. W=MG |
| Friction | the ever-present resistance to relative motion that occurs whenever two materials are in contact with each other. Static needs to be overcome to move and Kinetic opposes while moving. |
