Unit 6 Vocab

Motion

An objects' movement.

Friction

Surface resistance.

Mass

How much matter is in an object.

Unbalanced force

When N does't = 0

Speed

How fast an object is moving.

Force

Newton's Second Law, a push or pull in a direction.

Gravity

A force pulling objects near earth to it's core.

Balanced force

N = 0.

Velocity

Distance/time

Net force

The total force.

Inertia

An object that remains in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force.

Newton's 2nd Law (Law of Force & Acceleration)

The acceleration of an object is equivalent to the magnitude of the net force.

Newton's 3rd Law (Law of Action-Reaction)

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Acceleration

Change in speed.

Newton (kg*m/s2)

A form of measurement created by Isaac Newton.

Newton's 1st Law (Law of Inertia)

An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
