A push or pull exerted on a object

• Net force

• Force

• Inertia

NGSS.MS-PS2-2

two forces acting in opposite directions on an object, and equal in size

• Friction

• F=ma

• Balanced Force

• Friction

the action of one surface or object rubbing against another

• Force

• F=ma

• Friction

an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force

• Newtons 1st law

• Newtons 3rd law

• Newtons 2nd law

Forces are measured in:

• Inertia

• Grams

• Tons

• Newtons

Two equal forces acting in opposite directions on an object

• Inertia

• Balanced Force

• Push

• Unbalanced Force

An unequal push/pull on an object that causes a change in motion:

• Unbalanced Force

• Push

• Balanced Force

• Inertia

The greater the mass of an object, the more force it will take to accelerate the object.

• Newton's 1st Law of Motion

• Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

An object in motion will stay in motion until acted on by an unbalanced force. An object at rest will stay at rest until acted on by an unbalanced force.

• Newton's 1st Law of Motion

• Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

• Newton's 1st Law of Motion

• Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion
