Force |
A push or pull exerted on an object. |
|
|
Newton |
A unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second. |
|
|
Net Force |
The overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on it are added together. |
|
|
Balanced Force |
Equal Forces acting on an object in opposite directions. |
|
|
Unbalanced Force |
Forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an object's motion. |
|
|
Fluid Friction |
Friction that occurs as an object moves through a fluid. |
|
|
Sliding Friction |
Friction that occurs when one solid surface slides over another. |
|
|
Rolling Friction |
Friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface. |
|
|
Static Friction |
Friction that acts on objects that are not moving. |
|
|
Gravity |
The force that pulls an object towards each other. |
|
|
Law Of Universal Gravitation |
The force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe. |
|
|
Weight |
The force of gravity on a person or object |

The motion of a falling object when the only force acting on it is gravity |
|
|
Projectile |
An object that is thrown |
|
|
Inertia |
The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion |
|
|
Friction |
The force that one surface exerts on another when the two surfaces rub against each other; a method of charging an object by rubbing it against another object |
