Component of force
one of two forces that you can use to make up a resultant
1 of 15
Contact force
A force that only acts when objects are in contact
2 of 15
Drag
A force that acts opposite to the direction of motion of a body
3 of 15
Elastic collision
A collision in which kinetic engery is conserved
4 of 15
Equlibrium
An object is in equilibrium if all the forces cancel - the resultant force is zero
5 of 15
Force arrow
A way to model forces
6 of 15
Free body diagram
A diagram that shows the forces acting on a single object
7 of 15
Friction
A contact force. It
8 of 15
Ineastic collinson
A collinson in which kinetic energy is not conserved
9 of 15
Inertia
The measure of how difficult it is to change an object's velocity
10 of 15
Momentum
Mass x velocity
11 of 15
Net force
The force when tow or more forces are added together as vectors
12 of 15
Newton's First Law
The motion (speed an direction) of an object does not change when the resultant force is zero
13 of 15
Newton's Second Law
If the resultant force is not zero the motion of an object (speed or direction) changes
14 of 15
Newton's Third Law
Forces come in pairs: the force of Y on Y and the force of Y on X
