______________ is the force that opposes motion between any surfaces that are in contact.
Friction
An object at rest stays at rest unless acted on an unbalanced force. (inertia)
Newtons 1st law of motion
According to __________, the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on the object divided by the object's mass.
Newton's Second Law
Newton's _____ Law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
3rd
Newton's 1st
Friction acts in a direction ______________ to the direction of the object's motion.
opposite

A book pushes down on a table with a force of 5N, the table... (what is the table doing to the book?)
Pushes back with a force of 5N
Newton's 3rd Law
The four types of friction are:
static sliding rolling fluid
The tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion
Inertia
According to Newton's second law of motion, if a rigid body of unchanging mass is observed accelerating, what must be happening?
A force is being applied to the mass.
According to Newton’s Third Law, if someone jumps off a skateboard, the skateboard will roll backward because...
for the force that sent the person forward, there is an equal force pushing back on the skateboard.
Newton's 2nd
2 factors that affect friction:
1.) surface types 2.) amount of force between objects
What is the net force?
50N to the right
List the three (3) possibilities that an object might demonstrate when subjected to an unbalanced force:
Speed up, slow down, or change direction
The nozzle of a rocket is pointed downward so that as fuel is ignited, the exhaust pushes downward. Why is this arrangement necessary for a rocket to function properly?
As fuel is combusted, the rocket pushes the gases backward and the gases push the rocket forward.
