7 terms
Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 gravity | noncontact attractive force that exists between all objects that have matter |
| accelerate | change in velocity |
| force pair | two forces that result from two objects exerting forces on each other |
| inertia | tendency of an object to resist a change in motion |
| Newton's First Law of Motion | ates that if the net force on an object is zero, the motion of the object does not change. This is known as the Law of Inertia. An object at rest or an object in motion will remain at rest of in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force |
| Newton's Second Law of Motion | Force = Mass X Acceleration |
| Newton's Third Law of Motion | states that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of the same size, but in the opposite direction, on the first object |
