---|---|
Force | A push or pull that always acts on an object |
Gravity | The force of attraction between objects |
Acceleration | A change in a moving objects speed or direction |
Friction | A force that always acts to oppose motion |
Mass | A measure that does not change when you go from a high mountain to sea level or to the moon. |
Velocity | Speed of an object in a particular direction |
Reference Point | Object that appears to stay in place |
Helpful Friction | Brakes |
Harmful Friction | Where's down moving parts |
What do you need to know to calculate acceleration? | Speed and velocity. |
What is part 2 of the Universal Law of Gravity State? | Gravitational force decreases as distance increases. |
What does acceleration mean? | The rate at which velocity changes. |
The law of universal gravitation says that gravitational force is related to what and what? | Mass and distance |
When would someone who is moving, like on a skateboard, not be accelerating? | When they have constant speed or direction. |
What would a graph for positive acceleration look like? | Upward Curve |
What is Weight? | How much gravity it takes to hold an object. |
To produce a change in motion, a force must be? | Unbalanced |
