Term
Motion
Definition
An object's change in position relative to a reference point
Term
Speed
Definition
The distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occurred.
Term
Velocity
Definition
The speed of an object in a particular direction
Term
Acceleration
Definition
The rate at which velocity Changes over time; an object accelerates if its speed, direction, or both change
Term
Force
Definition
A push or a pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object; force has size and direction
Term
Newtons
Definition
The SI unit for force.
Term
Net force
Definition
Combination of all forces acting on an object
Term
Friction
Definition
A force that occurs between two surfaces.
Term
Gravity
Definition
A force of attraction that occurs between two objects due to their masses.
Term
Weight
Definition
Measure of the gravitational force on an object
Term
Mass
Definition
How much space an object takes up
Term
Sliding Friction
Definition
This kind of friction includes brakes in a car, moving a book across a desk
Term
Rolling Friction
Definition
Type of friction including wheels, skateboard on pavement.
Term
Fluid Friction
Definition
Friction in the air, like a plane driving and water vapor and air going on it.
Term
Static Friction
Definition
this friction is stationery when force is applied but nothing moves.
Term

Term
Rougher surfaces = MORE OR LESS FRICTION
Definition
Rougher surfaces equal more friction.
Term
Two ways friction is good
Definition
Brakes in cars and it can be used to create heat.
Term
THe closer two objects are= greater or lesser force
Definition
Greater force is made when objects are closer together.
Term
Acceleration is expressed in
Definition
m/s/s or m/s²
Term
Texture changes ...
Definition
Friction is changed by rougher or smoother textures.
Term
Why do we not notice all objects moving toward each other
Definition
because the earth's mass is super huge in comparison to us.
Term
Reference Point
Definition
Whatever we compare to the earth's surface that is moving
Term
To correctly observe motion we need to...
Definition
observe motion in reference to another object
Term
Velocity always includes a
Definition
Reference direction
Term
When speed and direction are constant the velocity is...
Definition
in a straight line
Term
Direction matters in ...
