8th Force & Motion
TEKS 8.7A and 8.7B
Term | Definition |
---|---|
net force | the sum of all the forces acting on an object |
unbalanced forces | change the motion of an object; net force ≠0 |
balanced forces | do not change the motion of an object; net force =0 |
acceleration | ANY change in motion; can be in direction or speed; inversely related to mass; directly related to net force |
inertia | RESISTANCE to change in motion; directly related to mass |
mass | amount of matter that makes up an object; directly related to inertia |
force pairs | two forces that act on different objects as a result of their contact, where the forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction |
