Chapter 3: Lesson 1-Describing Motion and Force

What is a contact force?

• Forces that are applied when objects touch one another

• Force that are applied when no forces touch one another

• Forces that are applied when it touches the object or not

• Forces that are applied when three objects touch one another

The combination of all the forces acting on an object is called...

• Newton(s)

• Net Weight

• Net Force

• Mass

What is friction?

• A push or a pull on an object

• A contact force with two forces exerting on each other

• A non-contact force applied to the object whether it touches it or not

• A non-contact force with two forces exerting on each other

What are some examples of force?

(more than one answer is correct)

What is the equation for work?

• (force x mass)

  = work

• (gravity x distance)

  = work

• (force x distance)

  = work

• (speed x mass)

  = work

Motion is relative when determined by a...
