Definition
This term describes anything that changes the motion of an object, such as a push or a pull. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
When an object changes the motion of another object by touching it, it is described as this type of force. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The force that exists between any two objects, determined by their proximity and masses, is described using this term. |
|
|
Term
|
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
|
Definition
This term describes the resistance of an object to a change in the speed or direction of its motion. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Inertia is affected by this characteristic of an object. |

Term
|
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) |

Term
|
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
|
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
|
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
|
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. |
