Physical Science 12.1 forces cards

A push or pull that acts on an object?

force

The force that causes a 1-kilogram mass to accelerate at a rate of meter per second or 1m/s2?

newton

When forces on an object are balanced the net force is what?

zero

When an unbalanced force acts on an object is what?

accelerates

A force that opposes the motion of objects that touch as they move pass eachother?

friction

The four types of friction?

Static, Sliding, Rolling and Fluid

Friction force that acts on objects that are not moving?

Static friction

A force that opposes the direction of motion as it slides over a surface?

Sliding friction

Friction force that acts on a rolling object?

Rolling friction

Opposes the motion of an object through a fluid?

Fluid friction

A force that acts between any two mass?

Gravity

Overall force acting on an object?

net force

Acts in direction opposite to the motion and reduces acceleration?

air resistence

Constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistence and gravity balance eachother?

Terminal velocity

Earth's gravity travels where?

Downward toward the center of the earth

What causes objects to accelerate downward?

gravity

the motion of a falling object after it is given initial forward velocity?

projectile motion
