What is the force that keeps things from moving?
A force that maintains motion is called inertia. This is the same as to what is normally referred to as momentum.
A nonzero net force which changes and objects motion what is the word for this?
The name for such a force is either "non-zero net force" or "unbalanced force". The name for the change of motion is "acceleration".
What is the name of the force that resists motion?
Friction
What is the usual name of force which can't produce motion but only change in motion?
Frictional Force. It is a 'reactive' force, and can only respond when another Force is applied. It can SLOW a motion, or cause a change in Direction.
What is the name often given to the force exerted by the first object on a second object?
Reaction Force
What is the name of the force that doesn't change the motion of an object and they do not cause an object to start or stop moving?
the normal force or any balanced force
What is the force that keeps things from moving?
A force that maintains motion is called inertia. This is the same as to what is normally referred to as momentum.
What name is given to a force that moves a pendulum?
Inertia. An object in motion remains in motion until acted upon by an outside force.
What is the proper name for a force that pulls and object?
The poper name for a force that pulls something is a net force, discovered by Newton and stated in Newton's Laws of motion .
What Do Newton's Three Laws Means?
Sir Isaac Newton had devised three laws of motion they are:-An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object at motion tends to stay at motion unless an external unbalanced force it applied to it. This is also called the law oof inertia.The momentum of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to an object and the force is in the direction of motion perpendicular to the momentum. This is also called the law of momentum.For every action theres an equal and opposite reaction. This has no speacial name and is called Newton's third law.
What is another name for newtons law?
the name for newton's third law is the law of inertia. it states that an object that is moving will keep in motion unless an outside force acts upon it and an object at rest will continue to be at rest until an outside force acts upon it.
A nonzero net force which changes and objects motion what is the word for this?
The name for such a force is either "non-zero net force" or "unbalanced force". The name for the change of motion is "acceleration".
What is another name for newton's first law?
the name for newton's third law is the law of inertia. it states that an object that is moving will keep in motion unless an outside force acts upon it and an object at rest will continue to be at rest until an outside force acts upon it.
The name of the force that slows any moving object?
During motion, the force of friction acts to resist further movement of objects. Such objects are always in contact with others or through air.
What is the name to the force exerted by the first object on a second object?
applied force
What is any change in an object's motion called?
The change in an object's motion, is simply force.The object cannot change motion unless acted upon by an outside force. For example: If I throw a baseball, it will never stop unless acted upon by gravity (or the outside force). Or the outside force could be it smacking into a wall or your friends head.
What is the name of thr force that keeps us from drifting off into space?
gravity is the force that keeps us on earth.
