Newtons laws Flashcards
Force
A push or pull 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 forces acting on an object
Speed
Distance traveled per rate of time
Speed= distance/time
Velocity
The speed and direction of 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 in 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 in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object.
Friction
A force that resist motion
Mass
the amount of matter in an object
Gravity
An attractive force that exist between all objects that have mass.
