Newton's Laws of Motion
For every action force there is a reaction force equal in strengths and opposite in direction.
What is Newton's third law?
The state in which the net force on an object is zero
What is equilibrium?
A variable that gives your location relative to an origin.
What is position?
The rate at which velocity changes.
What is acceleration?
A unit of energy.
What is a joule?
The property of an object that resists changes in its motion.
What is inertia?
The sum of all forces acting on an object?
What is net force?
The place where the position has a value of zero.
What is the origin?
Accelerated motion that happens when an object falls with only the force of gravity acting on it.
What is free fall?
A group of objects, effects, and variables that are related.
What is a system?
Acceleration is force divided by mass.
What is Newton's second law?
Combined forces that result in a zero net force on an object.
What is balanced forces?
A variable which gives direction information included in its value.
What is a vector?
An object moving through space and affected only by gravity.
What is a projectile?
Energy can never be created or destroyed, only transformed into another form.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Result in a net force on an object that can cause changes in motion.
What are unbalanced forces?
The force that a surface exerts on an object that is pressing on it.
What is normal force?
A variable that tells you both speed and direction.
What is velocity?
A pulling force that acts that acts in a rope, string, or other object.
What is tension?
Energy of position.
What is potential energy?
An object at rest will stay at rest and object in motion will stay in motion.
What is Newton's first law?
A diagram showing all the forces acting on an object.
What is a free-body diagram?
Values that give the position relative to an origin.
What are coordinates?
A squeezing force that can act on a spring.
What is compression?
Energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
