Basics
A push or pull
Force
The SI unit of force
Newton
The force exerted between magnetic poles, producing magnetization
Magnetic Force
A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching
Friction
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Newtons 3rd Law of Motion
The force that is released when something is being pulled or compressed
Elastic Force
The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.
Gravity
Every object in a state of uniform tends to remain in a state of motion unless an eternal force is applied
Newtons 1st Law of motion
When two equal but opposite forces act on an object, the object stays stationary
Balanced Forces
________ depends on the distance traveled and the time taken to travel that distance
Speed
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object
Newtons 2nd Law of Motion
When two unequal and opposite forces act on an object, the object moves in the direction of the greater force
Unbalanced Forces
