Mewtons law of Motion Vocab
Friction
Force that opposes motion between two surfaces
Mass
Amount of matter in an object or a measure or the inertia of an object
inertia
resistance to change
velocity
speed of an object, but in a specific direction
force
push or pull
weight
Measureof gravitational attraction or force or gravity pulling one object toward the center of another object
1st law of motion
Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it.
motion
The result of unbalaced forces
gravity
The force that pulls on objects and causes acceleration if the objects are not balanced by an opposing force
speed
Distance traveled per unit time
second law of motion
Force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration. F=m*a
3rd law of motion
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Acceleration
The rate velocity changes with time
