FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

System Noun

[sis-tuhm]

Back

System


A collection of objects that can be treated as a single entity for the purpose of analyzing forces and motion.

Example: This diagram shows two connected masses as a single 'system,' where internal and external forces (gravity, tension) determine the overall motion.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Force Noun

[fors]

Back

Force


A push or a pull that acts on an object, possessing both a magnitude and a specific direction.

Example: When a person pushes on a wall (action force), the wall pushes back on the person with an equal and opposite force (reaction force).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Net Force Noun

[net fors]

Back

Net Force


The vector sum of all individual forces acting on a single object, which determines the object's acceleration.

Example: Two teams pull a rope with equal force (300 N) in opposite directions. The forces are balanced, so the net force is zero.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Inertia Noun

[in-ur-shuh]

Back

Inertia


The natural tendency of an object to resist any change in its state of motion, whether at rest or moving.

Example: An object at rest, like a shopping cart, has inertia and will remain at rest until an external force is applied to make it move.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Equilibrium Noun

[ee-kwuh-lib-ree-uhm]

Back

Equilibrium


The state of an object in which the net force acting upon it is zero, resulting in no acceleration.

Example: Two people pull a rope with equal and opposite forces, so the rope does not move. This state of balanced forces is called equilibrium.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Interaction Pair Noun

[in-ter-ak-shuhn pair]

Back

Interaction Pair


A set of two forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, acting on two different interacting objects.

Example: The force of the left magnet pushing the right magnet away is an interaction pair with the equal and opposite force of the right magnet pushing the left one.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Free-Body Diagram Noun

[free-bod-ee dahy-uh-gram]

Back

Free-Body Diagram


A simplified diagram that represents a single object and all the external forces that are acting upon it.

Example: A free-body diagram simplifies an object to a single point and uses arrows (vectors) to show all the forces, like weight and normal force, acting on it.
