Newton's Laws of Motion Vocabulary

Spring force

• Strength exerted on an object

• Occurs when a force causes the speed of an object to decrease

• is the force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring upon any object that is attached to it

• The force of gravity between Earth and an object

Mechanical force

• Energy associated with the motion or position of an object

• When one object applies a force to a second object

• Object at rest will remain at rest until something acts upon it

• a change in velocity

Unbalanced Force

• is the force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring upon any object that is attached to it

• a certain force is either partially cancelled out or not canceled out at all by other forces

Gravity

• A force of attraction, or pull, between any objects and any other objects around it.

• a change in velocity

• the charge an object carries. Opposite charges attract (pull) and the same charges repel (push)

• When all of the force on an object cancel one another out
