Newton's Laws Vocab

a property of matter that describes the tendency of an object to resist changes in it's state of matter

• Inertia

• Motion

• Gravity

• Mass

an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest remains at rest, unless acted on by an unbalanced outside force

• Newton's Second Law

• Newton's Third Law

• Newton's First Law

an unbalanced force will cause an object to accelerate according to the equation, FORCE= MASS x ACCELERATION

• Newton's Third Law

• Newton's Second Law

• Newton's First Law

a force that resists the motion of two surfaces that are touching

• Force

• Mass

• Friction

• Acceleration

a change in an object's speed or direction of motion over time

• Contact Force

• Acceleration

• Mass

• Non-Contact Force

push or pull on an object

• Force

• Balanced Force

• Contact Force

• Non-Contact Force

amount of matter in an object

• Motion

• Gravity

• Mass

• Velocity

push or pull on one object by another that is touching it

• Contact Force

• Non-Contact Force

• Balanced Forces

• Unbalanced Forces

forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero

• Unbalanced Forces

• Balanced Forces

• Force

• Contact Force

a force that one object can apply to another object without touching it

• Non-Contact Force

• Contact Force
