The overall force acting on an object, this picture depicts net force by showing the force of the slide and the force of gravity combining to create net force
The coefficient of friction is the force required to move two sliding surfaces over each other, divided by the force holding them together, this depicts the coefficient by showing all three components acting on the block
The same as kinetic friction with the difference being the two objects are not moving, this picture shows the box not moving against the ground creating static fiction
kinetic friction is the friction created between a moving object and the object it is moving on, this box is creating kinetic friction with the ground as the pushing force slides it
Normal force is the force that pushes against the force of gravity and essentially is the opposite of weight. this picture depicts normal force by showing its influence on the object in the opposite direction of weight
weight is the amount of force gravity is using to pull an object down, this is depicting force by showing how much force a person is being pulled with on the scale
Mass is a property of physics that determines an objects resistance to being accelerated by a force, this picture shows mass by describing the two balls having equal mass because they are balanced on the pendulum
The third law states that when force is exerted and equal force will be exerted in the opposite direction. this pictures shows by showing the bullets force leaving the gun while its opposite force is knocking the person backwards
Newtons second law states that force equals mass times acceleration. This picture depicts this well by showing an elephant will require a lot of force to get it moving but it will have a lot of force when it is moving because of its large mass
Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion, including changes to its speed and direction. this picture depicts this perfectly by showing the sand filled bucket has more inertia because it is heavier and harder to push
An object at rest will stay at rest until acted on by an outside force, this shows a ball at rest depicting the second half of the first law
In the first law an object in motion will stay in motion until stopped by an outside force. This pictures shows a ball depicting an object in motion
a force is any interaction which tends to change the motion of an object, a push or a pull, this image depicts force by showing the men pushing and pulling the rope
