forces resulting from an interaction of charged particles

Back

centripetal force

Front

the force that makes a body follow a curved path

Back

unbalanced

Front

Forces that DO cause a change in motion

Back

thrust

Front

an accelerating force used to describe airplane motion forward

Back

sliding friction

Front

a type of friction occurring between two solid surfaces that move

Back

Newton's 2nd Law

Back

tension

Front

a force transmitted through a rope that's pulled on the ends

Back

speed

Front

distance traveled per unit of time

acceleration

Front

a change in velocity by speeding up, slowing or turning

Back

fluid friction

Front

friction between two surfaces with a liquid between them

Back

force

Front

a push or pull on an object

Back

velocity

Front

distance traveled per unit time in a direction

Back

Newton's 3rd Law
