Newton's Laws of Motion Vocabulary

5. two or more forces acting on an object that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero
6. a contact force that opposes the relative motion or tend
9. a pulling or stretching force, transmitted through a flexible medium like a rope or cable, that acts parallel to the medium's length
12. the force exerted on an object by a person or another object through direct contact, often described as a push or a pull, that causes the object to move, change its motion (including speed or direction), or deform
13. the property of matter to resist changes in its state of motion
14. a contact force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of motion between two surfaces in contact
15. the amount of matter in an object and is also a measure of an object's inertia

1. the vector sum of all individual forces acting on an object
2. a push or pull on an object with mass that causes it to change its velocity
3. a net force that is not equal to zero, occurring when the forces acting on an object are not equal in magnitude and/or are not acting in opposite directions
4. scientific study of the deformation of the rocks that make up the Earth's crust and the forces that produce such deformation.
7. the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time
8. the rate at which an object's position changes and is defined as displacement divided by the change in time
10. a fundamental quantity that describes the "amount of motion" an object has, defined as the product of its mass and velocity
11. the international unit of measure for force
