| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Newtons 2nd law | Pushing or pulling an object produces acceleration, a change in the speed of motion. |
| Mass | A measure of how much matter is in an object. |
| Force | In physics, force is a push or pull on an object. A force can cause an object to accelerate, slow down, remain in place, or change shape. |
| Acceleration | Acceleration is a way to measure how fast something is speeding up. |
| Proportional | When two quantities always have the same size in relation to each other. In other words they have the same ratio. |
| Inversely Proportional | related so that as one becomes larger the other becomes smaller |
| Newtons 3rd law | there is an equal and opposite reaction |
| Force Vector | Force vector is a numerical value in a specific direction, and is used in both math and physics |
| Friction | Friction is a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object. |
| Gravity | gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what causes objects to fall. |
| Kinetic Energy | energy associated with motion |
