| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Force | A push or a pull |
| Friction | Resists relative movement;contact |
| Electrical | Attraction or repulsion due to elec. field;long range |
| Gravitational | The pull of an ovject against another; long range |
| Magnetic | The pulls of 2 objects; long range |
| Air resistence | Particles in the air against objects; contact |
| Applied | Pushing; contact |
| Tensional | Pulling apart; contact |
| Normal Force | Pushe object up; contact |
| Newton's 1st Law | An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion stays at a constant velocity and in a straight line unless an unbalanced force acts upon it |
| Newton's 2nd Law | The acc. of an object depends upon the mass and the force |
| Newton's 3rd Law | If an object exerts another force on another object, the 2nd object exerts an equal force onto it |
| Equilibruim | Net Force=0 |
| Static Equilibrium | not moving, net force=0 |
| Static Friction | Applied, doesn't move |
| Kinetic Equilibrium | Moving at a constant velocity |
| Kinetic Friction | Slow movement, opp direction |
| Inertia | Resistance to change in the position of motion |
| Weight | Measure of attraction of gravity |
| Position | Distance and direction from an arbitrary point; vector |
| Distance | Total length of motion; scalar |
| Displacement | Distance from start to stop; vector |
| Speed | Distance traveled divided by time interval; scalar |
| Velocity | Displacement divided by time interval; vector |
| Acceleration | Change in velocity divided by time interval; vector |
| Time Interval | Time; scalar |
