Mass
The amount of matter in an object
Inertia
Ability of an object to resist change of motion
Gravity
Force pulling all object toward each other
Net Force
Total of all of the forces on an object
Force
An action that can cause motion
Weight
The force of gravity on an object
Equilibrium
When all forces on an object are balanced
Mass
The measure of matter in an object
Heat
The product of friction
G
Acceleration of gravity
Rolling friction
Resistance of wheel or ball
Air friction
Resistance of air pushing against an object
Viscous friction
Resistance of a fluid on an object
Sliding friction
Resistance of two objects pushing against each other
Friction
Any force that resist motion
Momentum
Measure of the product of an object mass and velocity
KGM/second
Units for momentum
Law conservation of momentum
Momentum does not change in a closed system or MlVl=MrVr
Weight
Changes when gravity changes
Inertia
Doesn’t change with gravity
