Question | Answer |

Newton's 1st Law: | An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced, external force. |
Newton's 2nd Law: | If a body is acted upon by an external force, it will accelerate in the direction of the unbalanced force with an accelerated proportional to the force. |
Equilibrium: | When net force equals zero, an object remains in the same motion (no acceleration) |
Net Force: | Sum of all the forces acting upon an object. |
Apparent Weight: | How heavy an object feels, force pushing up on an object by the floor. |
Centripetal Force: | A force directed towards the center that causes an object to follow a circular path. |
Centripetal Acceleration: | Occurs due to velocity direction change. |
Radius: | Distance from center of a circle to the outer edge. |
Normal Force: | Force from the surface of an object; contact force that makes 90 degree angle with surface edge. |
Work: | The product of the displacement and force in the direction of the displacement; scalar quantity. |
Power: | The time rate at which work is done and energy is transformed. |
Dot Product: | Can only multiply two vectors that are in the same direction. |
