| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Force | a push or pull |
| Agent | object that produces/has the force |
| Receiver | object that gets the force |
| Effect | what happens |
| Contact Force | force has to touch the object |
| Non Contact Force | force doesn't touch the object |
| Motion | an object changes position over time |
| Opposing Forces | forces that work against each other |
| Balanced Forces | forces that work against each other but are equal in size and have no motion |
| Unbalanced Forces | forces that work against each other and are unequal in size and create motion |
| Spring Scale | measuring force in Newtons |
| Newton | measuring unit for force |
| Magnitude | size of something |
| Vectors | a simple diagram showing force with arrows |
| Net Force | force result after two forces work on an object (total) (- from opposing) (+ for same) |
| Gravity | a force of attraction between objects hat is due to their masses |
| Isaac Newton | discovered gravity in the summer due to an apple falling on his head |
| Attractive Force | forces that pull objects to themselves |
| Weight | a measure of the gravitational for exerted on an object |
| Mass | the amount of matter something is made of |
| Friction | two forces make contact, Tool: spring scale Unit: Newtons |
| Rolling Friction | one round surface makes contact |
| Sliding Friction | two surfaces rub/slide across |
| Static Friction | STAY STILL : stops movement |
| Fluid Friction | one surface must be either liquid or air |
| Speed | how fast an object is moving, S= D divided by T |
| Velocity | speed plus direction, V= S plus Direction |
| Acceleration | a change in Velocity final V - staring V divided by time it took to change |
| Momentum | power an object has M= M * V |
| Newtons First Law Of Motion | an object at rest will stay at rest, an object in motion will stay in motion, until acted upon by a force |
| Newtons Second Law Of Motion | acceleration of an object depends on mass and force |
| Newtons Third Law Of Motion | one object exerts a force on another object, exerts a force right back |
