Equation for Weight - ANSWER (m)(g)
Equation for Acceleration - ANSWER F net/m
Equation for Force - ANSWER (m)(a)
Force - ANSWER Any influence that can cause an object to be accelerated, measured in newtons (or in
pounds, in the British system). Push or pull.
Friction - ANSWER The resistive force that opposes the motion or attempted motion of an object either
past another object with which it is in contact or through a fluid.
Mass - ANSWER The quantity of matter in an object. More specifically, it is the measure of the inertia or
sluggishness that an object exhibits in response to any effort made to start it, stop it, deflect it, or change
in any way its state of motion.
Newton's Second Law - ANSWER The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force
acting on the object, is in the direction of the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the
object.
Free Fall - ANSWER Motion under the influence of gravitational pull only.
Newton's Third Law - ANSWER Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second
object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first
Vector Quantity - ANSWER A quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Example are force,
velocity, and acceleration.
Scalar Quantity - ANSWER A quantity that has magnitude but not direction. Examples are mass, volume,
and speed.
