Vocabulary Motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Speed | The rate of change in position also called "rate of motion" |
| Instantaneous Speed | The rate of motion at any given instant |
| Constant Speed | The speed that does not change |
| Average Speed | The total distance traveled divided by the total time of travel (V=d/t) |
| Speed(2) | indicated how fast something is moving |
| Velocity | describes both speed and direction of an object. |
| Acceleration | The rate of change of Velocity. (change in Velocity) |
| Time Interval | The amount of time that passed while the change in velocity was taking place |
| Force | is a push or pull one body exerts on another. |
| Balanced forces | Forces on an object that are equal in size and opposite in direction. |
| Net Force | on an object always changed the velocity of an object. |
| Inertia | the tendency of an object to resist any change in motion. |
| Newton's 1st Law | An object moving at constant velocity keeps moving at the velocity unless a net force acts on it (Object at rest remains in rest until a force acts on it) |
| Friction | the force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching each other. |
| Gravity | a force. Every object in the universe exerts a force on every other object. |
| Weight | the measure of the force of gravity |
| Newton | the unit to describe the force exerted weight. |
