Term
Newtons First Law.
Definition
An object at rest stays in rest. An object in motion stays in motion. Unless acted on by another force.

ex- pencil, bike racing down hill
Term
Newtons Second Law.
Definition
The heaver the object is the more force it takes to move it or to make it stop moving. Inertia is a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged.

ex- it takes a stronger person to move a heavy rock than a light rock
Term
Newtons Third Law.
Definition
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Term
Balanced Forces.
Definition
Two Forces acting on an object that are equal in size but opposite in direction. (0 net force).
Term
Unbalanced Forces.
Definition
Two Forces acting on an object that are not equal in size. They may act in the same or opposite direction.
Term
Net Force.
Definition
The sum of all the forces acting on an object.
Term
Force.
Definition
A push or pull.
Term
Magnetic Force.
Definition
The force exerted between magnetic poles, producing magnetization.
Term
Friction.
Definition
A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching.
Term
Gravity.
Definition
A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses.
Term
Speed.
Definition
A rate at which an object moves.
Term
Velocity.
Definition
The speed of an object in a particular direction.
Term
Newton.
Definition
The unit of Force.
Term
Contact Force.
Definition
A force in which the agent does not directly have come in contact with the receiver.
Term
Non-Contact Force.
Definition
A force in which the agent doesn't have to come in contact with the receiver.
Term
What is force measured in?
Definition
Newtons!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Term
Mass.
Definition
The amount of matter in an object.

Ex: (measured in a double pan balance).
Term
Acceleration.
Definition
An increase in speed.
Term
MASS X ACCELERATION = FORCE!.
Definition
The formula of Force.
Term
Density.
Definition
The amount of matter in a given space, mass per unit volume.
Term
Rolling Friction.
Definition
Requires little force, MUST HAVE WHEELS!

Ex: bikes, cars, stakes, planes, etc.
Term

Definition
1. Strength 2. Direction.
Term
