Ch. 2 Laws of Motion Test/Quiz Review

A push or a pull that acts on an object

• friction

• force

• acceleration

The rate at which the speed or direction of motion of an object changes over time

• force

• gravity

• acceleration

The forces that results when two materials rub against each other or their contact prevents sliding

• friction

• gravity

• force

A force that acts at a distance

• contact force

• gravity

• non-contact force

The force of attraction between two objects

• non-contact force

• gravity

• Newton's Law

Which law states, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. "

• Newton's 1st Law

• Newton's 2nd Law

• Newton's 3rd Law

This law states, " An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force"

• Newton's 1st Law

• Newton's 2nd Law

• Newton's 3rd Law

This law states that, "acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass." This law is also called the "Force = Mass x Acceleration" law.

• Newton's 1st Law

• Newton's 2nd Law

• Newton's 3rd Law

Force that requires two pieces of matter to touch

• gravity

• inertia

• acceleration

• contact force

The tendency of an object to resit any change in motion.

• Gravity
