Flashcards

Force

An interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object; a push or pull.

Contact Forces

Forces resulting from direct physical contact between objects (e.g., friction, tension).

Non-Contact Forces

Forces that act between objects without physical touching (e.g., gravity, electric force).

Gravitational Force

The force of attraction between objects with mass; near Earth, it's often called weight.

Newton's First Law (Law of Inertia)

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a force.

Newton's Second Law

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass.
