5. friction force that opposes the motion of an object when it moves over a
surface
10. joule (J) standard SI unit for measuring energy kinetic energy (KE)
energy contained in a moving object.
12. net force resulting force when two (or more) forces are combined.
In a vector parallelogram, the net force is represented by the diagonal. A
force can be represented by an arrow of a particular length pointing in
the direction of the force.
15. Newton’s 3rd Law = Law of Action and Reaction - Forces always
occur in pairs. If object A exerts a force F on object B, then object B
exerts an equal and opposite force –F on object A. "Every action has an
equal and opposite reaction"
20. vector triangle triangle where two adjacent sides are vectors
placed end to end (representing forces). The third side is the net force.
29. FTH = THRUST = the force due to a rocket or jet engine ejecting hot
gases.
