|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a force applied to an object whether it touches the object or not |
|
|
Term
| What are three examples of noncontact forces? |
|
Definition
| Gravity, magnetism & electrical forces |
|
|
Term
| What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces? |
|
Definition
| two forces acting on an object are equal in strength and in opposite directions are balanced forces. Two forces that are not equal in strength, the pull is stronger than the friction there are unbalanced |
|
|
Term
| What are some examples of a balanced and unbalanced force? |
|
Definition
unbalanced: riding a skateboard, walking
balances: lying down, floating in water |
|
|
Term
| What is the net force of an object? |
|
Definition
| The overall force of an object when all the individual forces acting on it are added together |
|
|
Term
| What is Newton's First Law of Motion? |
|
Definition
| states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a nonzero net force |
|

Term
| Explain Newton's Second Law of Motion. |
|
Definition
| the size and direction of a net force equals the mass X acceleration |
|

|
Term
| Newton's 3rd law of motion |
|
Definition
| If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions. |
|
|
Term
| law of universal gravitation |
|
Definition
| STATES that the force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe that have mass |
