| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Gravity | The acceleration of a falling object, is due to the force of gravity. (Between the object and the Earth) |
| Law of Universal Gravitation | States that all object in the universe attract each other by the force of gravity/ The size of the force depends on two factors. : the masses of the object increase. |
| Weight | Weight is a measure of the force of gravity on an object. |
| Weight Equation | Weight=Mass*Acceleration due to gravity. W=M*G |
| Work | Work, is a force acted over a distance, to change an objects position. |
| Power | How fast you can do work. |
| 6 Simple Machines. | 1. Pulley 2. Wedges. 3. Levers. 4. Screws. 5.Wheel & Axle 6. Incline Plane |
| Newton's Gravitation Law & Weight | Weight is a downward force that that is dependent on gravitational pull & mass. It causes an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 (squared) |
| Inertia | (Newton called this tendency of objects to remain in motion or stay at rest(Inertia) Inertia is the property of matter that tends to resist any change in motion. |
| Friction | Friction is a force that acts in a direction opposite to the motion of the moving object. |
| Types of Friction | 1.Rolling Friction 2.Sliding Friction 3.Fluid Friction |
| Force | Is a push or pull to make it move. (cause things to move) |
