Question
Answer
a push or pull on a system   force  
🗑
The SI unit of force   Newton  
🗑
The force that holds protons and neutrons together in nuclei; the strongest of all fundamental forces   Strong Nuclear Force  
🗑
The attractive or repulsive force produced by static and moving charges in atoms   electromagnetic force  
🗑
the force exerted by all matter; the weakest of all fundamental forces   gravitational force  
🗑
a force that acts between systems only when one system touches another   contact force  
🗑
the mathematical description of a field force existing in the space surrounding an object that is the source of or is susceptible to the field force   field  
🗑
a noncontact force exerted on a susceptible object   field force  
🗑
a force that in combination with other forces acting on the same system produces a ZERO net force on the system   balanced force  
🗑
the sum of all forces acting on a system. If the forces are balanced this is zero.   net force  
🗑
a force that produces a change in motion because the sums of the forces is not zero   unbalanced force  
🗑
the tendency of all matter to resist change in motion   inertia  
🗑
Newton's first law of motion that states that objects at rest remain at rest and objects in motion continue in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force   Law of Inertia  
🗑
Newton's second law stating that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to the net force acting on the system and is inversely proportional to the system's mass. F=ma   Law of Accelerated Motion  
🗑
Law stating that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction   Action-Reaction Principle  
🗑
a contact force that opposes motion. It affects both moving and non-moving objects.   friction  
🗑
The force exerted by a supporting surface on an object resting on it. It is perpendicular to the supporting surface.   normal force  
🗑
a constant acceleration, such as that of an object in free fall   uniform acceleration  
🗑
The maximum constant speed of an object falling in the atmosphere. It occurs when drag balances the force of gravity.   terminal velocity  
🗑
A property of a moving object directly proportional to its mass and speed.   momentum  
🗑
p=mV   linear momentum  
🗑
Contact forces are also called   mechanical forces  
🗑
The contact force where two things are pushed together   compression  
🗑
The contact force where two things are pulled apart   tension  
🗑
The contact forces where things are twisted   torsion  
🗑
The contact forces where things slide in opposite directions away from each other   shear  
🗑
Forces that cause things to move without touching them   field forces  
🗑
Field forces get weaker or stronger as you move away from the source?   weaker  
🗑
The field force the everything exerts but it is only noticeable with big objects like planets.   gravity  
🗑
The field force that surrounds magnets and materials with electricity flowing through them.   magnetic  
🗑
The field force that surrounds and affects electrical charges.   electricity  
🗑
Balanced forces are pushes and pulls that do this.   cancel each other out  
🗑
This means you have balanced forces.   zero net force  
🗑
Acts on a system from outside the system's boundary   external force  
🗑
When one force is greater than the other you have this.   unbalanced force  
🗑
The difference between two forces.   net force  
🗑
The gravitational attraction exerted on an object's mass.   weight  
🗑
weight is   mass being pulled down by gravity  
🗑
Formula for Newton's Law of accelerated motion   F = m*a. Force = mass * acceleration  
🗑
What makes the biggest change in the amount of gravity between two objects?   Distance  
🗑
When objects fall due to gravity alone with no other force acting on them.   Free fall  
🗑
This can slow an object down during free fall   air resistance  
🗑
The formula for weight   W = mass * gravity. W = m*g  
🗑
Acceleration at a constant rate   uniform acceleration  
🗑
Air resistance is friction from air molecules and can be called   drag  
🗑
Force is scalar or vector?   vector  
🗑
