Newton's 3 Laws Flashcards
(16 cards)
any push or pull by 1 object on another
Force
force that opposes the motion of 1 object moving past another
Friction
when an object moves through air the air hits the object and slows it down
Air Resistance
force of attraction between any 2 objects due to their mass
Gravity
“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”
Newton’s 3rd Law
pull; slows down object
Drag
engine push/pull object forward
Thrust
Who invented the 3 Laws of gravity and theorized the universal gravitation?
Sir Isaac Newton
“The unbalanced force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration”
Newton’s 2nd Law
force that acts together on an object without changing motion
Balanced Force
force moves object into the air
Lift
“An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force”
Newton’s 1st Law
change in velocity with respect to time
Acceleration
initial push or pull of 1 object on another object
Action Force
push or pull of a 2nd object back on the object that started the push or pull
Reaction Force
force that doesn’t cancel another object out and that causes an object to change in motion
Unbalanced Force
