Vocabulary Review - MS-PS2-1/2

Select the Law: Also known as the Law of Inertia, this law states an object at rest will remain at, unless acted upon by an outside force.

• Newton's First Law of Motion

• Newton's Second Law of Motion

• Newton's Third Law of Motion

This force results if the pulling force acts on its ends, such as in a rope used to pull an elevator.

• Normal Force

• Gravitational Force

• Tension Force

NGSS.MS-PS2-1

This force prevents objects from falling; into whatever they are sitting upon. This force is always perpendicular to the surface.

• Normal Force

• Gravitational Force

• Tension Force

• Friction Force

• Applied Force

Select the Law: This law is more mathematical. It states, Force is equal to Mass multiplied by the Acceleration.
