Definition
| A speed that does not vary, it always stays the same (it's like having cruise control on in a car) |
|
|
Term
| What is Horizontal Motion |
|
Definition
| Motion parallel to the earth. It's like a hockey puck moving along the ice. |
|
|
Term
| What is the law of conservation of momentum? |
|
Definition
| The total amount of momentum of a group of objects does not change unless outside forces act on the object. |
|
|
Term
| What is the equation we use for Force? |
|
Definition
| Force = Mass x Acceleration |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The force air exerts on moving objects |
|
|
Term
| What is the acceleration equation? |
|
Definition
| Acceleration = (Final velocity- initial velocity)/Time |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A tendency of an object to resist any change in motion |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Motion perpendicular the the earth's surface (Up and down motion) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A measure that describes speed and direction |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A property a moving object has due to its mass and velocity |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Distance traveled divided by the time traveled |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| (The law of Inertia) An object moving at a constant velocity keeps moving at that velocity unless a net force acts on it |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An unbalanced force. When there is more force pushing in one direction than another. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The measure of the force of gravity on an object |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When two forces of equal size push in opposite directions. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second one exerts on the first that is equal in size and opposite in direction |
|
|
Term
| What is terminal velocity? |
|
Definition
| The highest velocity that can be reached by a falling object. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Weight = mass x acceleration (due to gravity) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| How fast we are going at a specific time. Like a photo finish in horse races. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A net force on an object causes the object to move in the direction of the force |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The rate of change of position. How fast we move from one place to another. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The force that every object in the universe exerts on each other |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path. |
|
