N 1st law of motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Distance | How far you have traveled between two positions. It is always positive. It is a scalar quantity. |
| Displacement | change in position. It is the straight line distance between your starting position and ending position. It is equal to Final position minus initial position. It can be positive or negative. It is a vector quantity. |
| Scalar | Quantity that only requires magnitude (how big) |
| Vector | Quantity that requires both magnitude (how big) and direction. |
| Speed | How fast something is moving. It is equal to distance divided by time. It is a scalar quantity. |
| Velocity | The rate at which position changes. It equal to displacement divided by time. It is a vector quantity. |
| Newtons 1st Law, AKA law of inertia | an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a unbalanced force. |
| Mass | |
| Applied Force | A force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. |
| Gravity force | the force with which the earth,moon, or another massively large object attracts another object towards itself. |
| Normal force | The Support force exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object. |
| Frictional force | The |
