Term | Definition |
---|---|
Force | Push Or Pull |
Velocity | Speed and direction of a push or pull |
Acceleration | The rate of change in speed and direction |
Refrence Point | Any object that you use to describe where something is located. |
Direction | Inside we use Up down Right and left.Most scientist use(NESW) |
Balanced Force | When two forces acting on an object are equal in size but act in opposite directions, we say that they are balanced forces. If the forces on an object are balanced(or if there are no forces acting on it)an object that is not moving stays still. |
Unbalanced Force | If two individual forces are of equal magnitude and opposite direction, then the forces are said to be balanced. An object is said to be acted upon by an unbalanced force only when there is an individual force that is not being balanced by a force. |
Net Force | In physics, net force is the overall force acting on an object. |
Fluid Friction | Fluid friction occurs between layers within a fluid that are moving relative to each other. This internal resistance to flow is described as viscosity. In everyday terms viscosity of a fluid is said to have "thickness" |
Air Resistance | BSL Physics Glossary - air resistance - definition. Translation: Air resistance is a force that is caused by air. The force acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air. |
Frame Of Refrence | Also called reference frame a framework that is used for the observation,description of physical phenomena and the formulation of physical laws, a coordinate system, and a clock or clocks assigning times at positions with respect to the coordinate system. |
