motion science
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| accelerate | rate at which the velocity changes |
| acceleration includes | rate of slowing down, speeding up, going backwards and turning |
| Acceleration formula | final velocity-starting velocity time it takes to change velocity |
| Acceleration is expressed as | (m/s/s) |
| increase in speed | positive acceleration |
| decrease in speed | deceleration |
| Motion is calculated by using a | reference point |
| speed is | the distance traveled and how long it took you to get there |
| speed average formula | total distance total time |
| velocity | the rate of an object going in a certain direction |
| velocity always includes | change in direction |
| circular acceleration is called | centripetal acceleration |
| scientists use newton's to measure | force |
| force doesn't always cause something to | move |
| Force means | to push or pull |
| net force | the result of combining all the forces put on an object |
| net force formula | larger net force- smaller net force =the final direction |
| Unbalanced forces cause | |
| objects can move when | unbalanced forces are removed |
| friction | a force that opposes motion of two touching surfaces |
| friction is increased by | rougher surfaces |
| turning an object into a different position does not effect the | amount of friction |
| Sliding friction | friction caused by two surfaces sliding past each other |
| Rolling friction | wheels on another surface |
| fluid friction | opposes movement through fluids |
| static friction | opposes motion |
| lubricants | used to reduce friction |
| gravity | attraction of two or more objects |
| law of gravity | crated by newton |
| gravity force increases | mass increases |
| gravity decreases | distance |
| weight | measurement of gravity |
| mass | measurement of matter |
