Term
Force
Definition
This term describes anything that changes the motion of an object, such as a push or a pull.
Term
Contact Force
Definition
When an object changes the motion of another object by touching it, it is described as this type of force.
Term
Gravity
Definition
The force that exists between any two objects, determined by their proximity and masses, is described using this term.
Term
Friction
Definition
A force that resists motion between two surfaces is described using this term.
Term
Balanced Forces (No Motion)
Unbalanced Forces (Motion)
Definition
One of the types of systems of forces results in motion, the other results in no motion.
Term
An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Definition
This is Newton's First Law in Motion
Term
Inertia
Definition
This term describes the resistance of an object to a change in the speed or direction of its motion.
Term
Velocity and Mass
Definition
Inertia is affected by this characteristic of an object.
Term
The Cannon Ball
Definition
A student rolls a cannon ball and a ping pong ball down the same ramp. Which ball has more inertia?
Term
It will continue traveling at the same velocity unless it hits an object or enters into the gravitational field of another object.
Definition
The astronaut shoots a bullet into deep space. According to Newton's First Law, this is what will happen to the bullet.
Term
F = m(kg) x Acc. (m/sec. squared)
Definition
This is Newton's Second Law of Motion.
Term
Newton (N)
Definition
This is a unit of force.
Term
764.4 N
Definition
An object with a mass of 78 kg is accelerating at the rate of 9.8 m/s/s. This is the force that the object has.
Term
30 m/s/s.
Definition
An object has a force of 120 N and a mass of 4 g. This is the rate that the object is accelerating at.
Term
13.653 kg
Definition
An object has a force of 512 N and is accelerating at the rate of 37.5 m/sec/sec. This is the object's mass.
Term
Acceleration
Definition
This term describes a change in velocity over time.
Term
Acceleration = Final Velocity - Initial Velocity รท Time.
Definition
This is the acceleration formula.
Term
It would cause an object to speed up.
Definition
Acceleration in the same direction to motion would cause this to happen.
Term
The object would slow down, stop, or change direction.
Definition
Acceleration in an opposite direction to motion would cause this to happen.
Term
It would change direction.
Definition
Acceleration at an angle to motion would cause this to happen.
