Newton's Laws
This law states that an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a net force.
What is Newton's First Law?
This type of friction occurs when two surfaces are not moving relative to each other.
What is static friction?
This diagram represents all the forces acting on an object.
What is a free body diagram?
This is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as mass times acceleration due to gravity.
What is weight?
This term describes the motion of an object traveling along a circular path.
What is circular motion?
According to this law, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
What is Newton's Second Law?
This force opposes the motion of an object sliding over a surface.
What is kinetic friction?
In a free body diagram, this force acts downward due to gravity.
What is weight?
The standard acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately this value in meters per second squared.
What is 9.8 m/s²?
This force acts towards the center of the circular path, keeping the object in motion.
What is centripetal force?
This law explains that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law?
The coefficient of this type of friction is usually less than that of static friction.
What is kinetic friction?
This force is represented as an arrow pointing opposite to the direction of motion in a free body diagram.
What is friction?
The strength of this force depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.
What is gravitational force?
This term refers to the rate of change of velocity of an object moving in a circular path.
What is centripetal acceleration?
