Motion & Forces
Question | Answer |
---|---|
The straight line distance from starting to ending point with direction. | displacement |
The background object used to determine if an object is in motion. | frame of reference |
The change in position of an object over time. | motion |
The length of the path taken from one place to another. | distance |
The distance and object travels divided by the time it takes. | speed |
Speed plus direction. | velocity |
When two or more unequal forces push or pull on an object and cause a change in motion. | unbalanced forces |
A push or a pull on an object. | force |
When two or more forces push or pull with the same force and cause no change in motion. | balanced forces |
The resulting force when two or more forces are acting on an object. | net force |
The force acting the opposite direction of motion. | friction |
The type of friction where it seems as if the object is stuck to the floor. | static friction |
The type of friction shown when pushing a box across the floor. | sliding friction |
The type of friction shown by a bicycle tire. | rolling friction |
The type of friction shown by a parachute falling through the air. | air resistance or fluid friction |
