Force and Newton's Laws of Motion - Y11 SACE
Cards in this deck (11)
- 1ForceA push or a pull
- 2MassThe amount of matter in an object
- 3Weightthe force applied to an object due to the gravitational attraction of a large mass like the Earth
- 4The Normal Reaction ForceA force that acts perpendicular to a surface as a result of an object applying a force to the surface
- 5FrictionA force that resists the relative motion or tendency of such motion between 2 bodies or substances in contact
- 6Air resistance/DragA force that opposes the relative motion of an object through a fluid
- 7Net ForceThe vector sum of the forces acting on an object
- 8Newtons 1st LawAn object will remain at rest and a moving object will continue with the same velocity unless an unbalanced external force acts on it
- 9InertiaThe tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion. The mass of an object is a measure of its Inertia
- 10Newtons 2nd LawThe acceleration of an object will be directly proportional to the net force acting and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. The acceleration will also be in the direction of the force
- 11Newtons 3rd LawIf object A applies a force to object B, then object B will apply an equal magnitude force in the opposite direction on object A for the same duration
