Question | Answer |
---|---|
friction | is a force that resists the movement of one surface past another. |
gravity | is the force of attraction that exists between any two objects. |
force | is a push or pull that acts on an object |
speed | the distance and object that moves in an given time. |
inertia | the tenacity for an object to remain at rest or in motion |
weight | is the force caused by the gravitational attraction of the Earth |
velocity | a change in the speed or direction or an moving object |
energy | the ability to cause motion to change |
acceleration | is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater amount of force needed (to accelerate the object). |
motion | the action or process of moving or of changing place or position. |
drag | to draw with force, effort, or difficulty; pull heavily or slowly along; haul |
work | exertion or effort directed to produce or accomplish something |
mass | a body of coherent, usually of indefinite shape and often of considerable. |
