Forces in Action
A force that slows things down.
Friction
3 Types of friction
Rolling, sliding, fluid
Direction the gravity pulls us in.
Towards the center of the earth.
Objects in motion will follow this path, if no other forces interfere
A straight path
Gravity
3 Non-contact Forces
Gravity, Magnetic, Electrostatic
Factor that impacts the force of rolling friction
surface texture
The relationship between mass and gravity
The greater the mass the greater the gravitational pull
Force that impacts the direction of the path
Centripetal force
Force that pushes you against the car door while turning.
Centripetal force
3 Contact forces
Friction, Applied Force, Tension
Two factors that impact sliding friction
surface texture and weight of the object
The relationship between distance and gravity.
The farther away the objects are, the less the gravitational pull between them is
Law about objects in motion and objects at rest
they will stay in motion or at rest, unless another force acts on them
Weight difference when on the moon
1/6th of what you weigh on Earth
Factor that determines if a force is contact or non-contact.
whether or not they are physically touching
3 Factors impacting fluid friction
The relationship between mass and gravity
Gravity has no impact on mass
Relationship between mass and inertia
The greater the mass, the greater the inertia
Forces responsible for us being able to drive cars on the road.
Determined by the amount of force exerted and how long it is exerted for on the object.
How far and how fast a baseball will fly when hit.
The force of friction applied to an object for a long time will begin to damage the parts
The relationship between weight and gravity
2 Properties of all matter
Mass and Inertia
