  1. Friction
    • Force that resists the motion of objects or surfaces
    • Image Upload 2
  2. Static Friction
    Friction force that resists motion between 2 surfaces that are not movingImage Upload 4
  3. Image Upload 6newton's third law
    every action force creates a reaction force that is equal in strength and opposite in direction
  4. Image Upload 8acceleration
    the rate of change of velocity
  5. Image Upload 10newton's second law
    force causes acceleration and mass resists acceleration
  6. newton's first law
    Image Upload 12an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force
  7. Image Upload 14unbalanced forces
    a net force on an object that can cause changes in motion
  8. Image Upload 16mass
    the amount of matter an object contains
  9. weightImage Upload 18
    the downward force of gravity acting on mass
  10. sliding frictionImage Upload 20
    friction force that resists motion of an object moving across a surface
  11. average speedImage Upload 22
    the distance divided by the total time for a trip
  12. velocityImage Upload 24
    speed with direction
  13. constant speed
    the speed of an object that travels the same distance each second
  14. mass
    the amount of matter an object contains
  15. balanced forces
    result in a zero net force
  16. net force
    sum of 2 or more forces on an objest
  17. universal gravitation
    the force of gravity between objects depends on their masses and the distance between them
  18. inertia
    the property of an object that resists changes in its motion
  19. force
    a push or pull,or any action that is able to change motion
  20. speed
    the distance an object travels divided by the time it takes
