Question Answer
accelerationThe rate at which velocity increases in a given amount of time.
action-at-a-distance forcesForces that act on an object without touching it.
action-reaction principleFor every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
average speedRealistically vehicles speed is not constant, so this is what
displacementA change in position of an object.
dynamicsThe branch of mechanics that describes why things move.
frame of referenceA system of reference points from which the position and motion of an object can be determined.
geostationary orbitAn object in the sky is orbiting at the same period as the surface of the earth below it so it seems to be stationary.
gravity (g)The attraction that any object in the universe has toward other objects in the universe.
inertiaThe property of matter that causes objects to resist change in the state of motion.
kinematicsThe branch of mechanics that describes how things move.
magnitudehow big
mechanicsThe study of motion.
newton (N)The metric unit of weight.
satellitesCelestial bodies in orbit around another celestial body.
scalarsQuantities that express magnitude only.
speedThe rate at which an object changes position.
terminal velocityThe limit of the velocity at which an object can fall through a gas or a liquid.
Universal Law of GravitationThis law created by Newton states that the force of gravity is directly related to the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely related to the relative distance between the objects squared. F=G((m1*m2)/D squared)
vectorsQuantities that express magnitude and direction.
velocityThe rate at which an object changes position in a specified direction.
weightThe measure of the force of gravity on an object.
