1 Newton’s First Law of Motion
Inertia- the tendency of an object to resist change. The greater the mass the greater the inertia!

2 Force Force- Push or a pull on an object
Object speeds up, slows down, or turns from force More than one force can act on an object at the same time Net Force- Combination of all the forces acting on an object. Force= Mass X Acceleration

3 Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
Balanced Forces- Two or more forces exerted on an object that cancel each other and do not change object’s velocity Net force is zero Unbalanced Forces- Effects of the forces don’t cancel and the object’s velocity changes Net force is not zero

4 Newton’s First Law of Motion
Isaac Newton ( )- Explained motion of objects in 3 laws of motion Newton’s First Law of Motion- An object at rest will stay at rest, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

5 Friction Friction- Force that acts to resist sliding between two touching surfaces. Ex: Acts on objects moving through air or water

6 Friction Static Friction- Type of friction that prevents an object from moving when force is applied. (object at rest) Caused by attraction of atoms on the two surfaces that are in contact

7 Friction Sliding Friction- Type of friction that is due to the roughness of the two objects. Slows down object that slides

8 Friction Rolling Friction- Occurs when an object rolls across a surface Rolling friction is less than sliding friction
