Question | Answer |
---|---|
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion | The acceleration of an object is in the same direction as the net force on the object, and that the acceleration equals net force divded by mass. |
Friction | forces that opposes the sliding motion between two touching surfaces. |
Sliding Friction | frictional force that opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other. |
Static Friction | frictional force that prevents two surfaces from sliding past each other. |
Air Resistance | force that opposes the motion of objects that move through the air. |
Gravity | attractive force between two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them. |
Weight | gravitational force exerted on an object. |
Centripetal Acceleration | acceleration of an object toward the center of a curved or circular path. |
Centripetal Force | a net force that is directed toward the center of a curved or circular path. |
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion | When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force on the first object that is equal in strength and in the opposite directoin. |
Momentum | property of a moving object that equals its mass times its velocity. |
