|
Terminal Velocity |
The constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance is equal in magnitude and in direction of force and gravity |
|
|
Electrical Force |
The attraction or repulsion between two particles is directly proportional to the charge of the two particles and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. |
|
|
Free Fall |
The motion of a body when only the force of gravity is acting on the body
|
|
|
Magnetic Force |
The magnetic effect of electric currents
|
|
|
Air Resistance |
The forces that are in opposition to the relative motion through the air
|
|
|
Momentum |
A quantity defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object
|
|
|
Newton's First Law Of Motion |
An object will remain at rest or in motion (in a straight line) unless acted upon by an outside force.
|
|
|
Balanced Force |
Two forces acting in opposite directions on the object.
|
|
|
Projectile Motion |
The curved path that an object follows when thrown, launched, or otherwise projected near the surface of Earth
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
Kinetic Friction |
Occurs when two objects are moving relative to each other and rub together
|
|
|
Newton's Second Law of Motion |
States that the acceleration of an object relies on the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.
|
|
|
Static Friction |
Friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other. |
|
|
Unbalanced Force |
When two forces acting on a object ae not equal in size |
|
|
Law Of Universal Gravitation |
States that any two bodies in the universe Attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
|
|
|
Tensional Force |
The force that is transmitted through a string, rope, cable, or wire and pulls equally on opposite ends of the object.
|
|
|
Newton's Third Law Of Motion |
States that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
|
|
|
Normal Force |
The component perpendicular to the surface of contact.
|
|
|
Contact Force |
Is a force that acts at the point of contact between two objects, in contrast to body forces. |
|
|
Frictional Force |
A force that is created whenever two surfaces move or try to move across each other |
|
|
Gravitational Force |
The force between any two objects in the universe |
