Newtons Law Flashcards
(13 cards)
Force
A push or a full exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object.
Motion
A change in position over time.
Net Force
The combination of all the forces action on an object.
Speed
Distance traveled per rate of time. Speed = Distance/Time
Velocity
The speed and direction on an object.
Acceleration
The rate at which velocity changes over time.
Newton’s First Law
An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain n motion unless acted upon by an outside force
Newton’s Second Law
Force = Mass x Acceleration
Newton’s Third Law
For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction
Inertia
The tendency of an object to resist being moved or, if the object is moving, to resist a change n speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object.
Friction
A force that resists motion.
Mass
The amount of matter in an object.
