Understanding Force and Motion

Front

What is Force?

Back

A push or pull expressed in Newtons (N)

Front

How do you calculate force?

Back

Find the net force

Front

What is Net force?

Back

The combination of all of the forces acting on an object

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes motion between 2 surfaces

Front

What are the 2 types of friction?

Back

Static and Kinetic

Front

What is static friction?

Back

Acts on non moving objects

Front

What is kinetic friction?

Back

Acts on moving objects

Front

How many Newtons laws are there?

Back

3

Front

What does the first law state?

Back

Objects that are in motion stay in motion, objects that are at rest stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force like gravity or friction

Front

What is the second law?

Back

Finding that the acceleration force and mass are all impacted by each other
