Front

What is a push or pull on an object?

Back

Force

Front

What is a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time?

Back

Acceleration

Front

Which law states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force exerted on the object divided by the object's mass?

Back

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

Front

What is the contact force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching?

Back

Friction

Front

What type of collision occurs when colliding objects bounce off each other?

Back

Elastic Collision

Front

What is the law that states an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a net external force?

Back

Newton's 1st Law of Motion

Front

What is the force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid?

Back

Drag Force

Front

What is the force that acts between two surfaces in contact and opposes their relative motion?

Back

Frictional Force

Front

What is the term for the total force acting on an object when all individual forces are combined?

Back

Net Force

Front

What is the law that states for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction?

Back
