Physics Level Force Review - Vocabulary and Formulas
Matching: Match the term to the correct definition.
1. Normal Force (FN)
a. When all forces are balanced and acceleration is zero
2. Net Force (Fnet)
b. For every action force, there is an equal and opposite
reaction force
3. g
c.
Objects remain at rest or moving at a constant velocity
unless acted on by an unbalanced force
4. Newton (N)
d. kg m/s2, unit of force
5. Applied Force (FA)
e. Sum of all the force vectors acting on an object
6. Kinetic Friction Force (Ff,k)
f.
The tendancy of an object to maintain its state of
motion (at rest or moving with a constant velocity)
7. Inertia
g. How hard the surface pushes back on an object;
perpendicular to the surface
8. Force of gravity (Fg) or Weight
h. The push or pull to get or keep an object in motion

15.
16.
Coefficient of friction ()
Equilibrium
o.
p.
Opposes motion and is what must be overcome to
keep an object moving
Measured in kg and is not affected by gravity
acceleration due to gravity
When weight and air resistance balance out for a
falling object, it no longer accelerates and thus falls at
a constant velocity for the rest of its fall.
Depends on the surface textures
Opposes motion and is what must be overcome to
start an object moving
F=ma
The force of the earth (or planet) acting on a mass
17. What is the formula to find Force? What are the units of each quantity?
18. What is the formula to find Weight? What are the units of each quantity?
19. What is the formula to find the force of friction? What are the units of each quantity?
20. Which is greater: static or kinetic friction?
21. What is the value of 'g' on the surface of the earth?
