+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Force** | **A push or a Pull** | +===================================+===================================+ | **Contact Force** | **A "Touching" force. Physical | | | contact between 2 or more | | | objects.** | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Non-Contact Force** | **Forces that are applied by | | | "fields" such as gravity, | | | electric, magnetic** | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Net Force** | **Fnet** | | | | | | **Unbalanced forces otherwise | | | known as resultant force.** | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Inertia** | **Tendency of an object to stay | | | at rest or stay in straight line, | | | constant speed. Inertia depends | | | on mass** | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Mass** | **Resistance to acceleration.** | | | | | | **The higher the mass the higher | | | the inertia the more resistant to | | | being accelerated.** | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Weight** | **Fg = mg** | | | | | | **The measure of the force of | | | gravity on an object.** | | | | | | **Fg = mass x acceleration due to | | | gravity** | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Normal Force** | **Fn** | | | | | | **Force that is applied by a | | | surface. Normal forces are always | | | applied perpendicular to the | | | surface.** | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Friction** | **Ff** | | | | | | **Force that opposes motion** | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Tension** | **Ft or T** | | | | | | **Force exerted by a string, | | | cord, rope, or cable** | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Newton's First Law** | **An object at rest will stay at | | | rest unless acted upon by a NET | | | FORCE.** | | | | | | **An object moving with constant | | | velocity will continue to do so | | | unless acted upon by a NET | | | FORCE.** | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Newton's Second Law** | **Fnet = ma** | | | | | | **The behavior of an object when | | | it is acted upon by a NET | | | FORCE.** | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Newton's Third Law** | **For every action there is an | | | equal or opposite reaction | | | force.** | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
