Causes changes in an object's motion.
Newtons (N)
Can change speed, direction, or shape.
Amount of matter in an object.
Mass is constant; weight varies with gravity.
Gravitational force acting on an object.
Multiply mass by gravitational acceleration.
Thrust, friction, normal force, and weight.
Visual representation of forces acting on an object.
Analyze net forces to determine acceleration.
Forces that cancel each other out.
Causes acceleration in the direction of the net force.
Constant speed reached when forces are balanced.
Resistance to motion between surfaces.
Opposes movement, slowing down objects.
Surface type and normal force.
By using lubricants or smoother surfaces.
Relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
Rearrange to a = F/m.
Average velocity over a time interval.
To find distance, use d = v * Δt.
Relationship between distance traveled and time.
Average acceleration over a time interval.
To find change in velocity, use Δv = a * Δt.
Relationship between speed and time.
An object at rest stays at rest unless acted on.
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Look for changes in motion or force applications.
Mass per unit volume of an object.
Divide mass by volume.
Using geometric formulas for volume.
Factors that change, are measured, or kept constant.
