Fluid Friction

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What does Newton's 1st Law state?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Front

What is static friction?

Back

Static friction is the force that keeps an object at rest and prevents it from moving.

Front

What is fluid friction?

Back

Fluid friction is the resistance encountered by an object moving through a fluid (liquid or gas).
