demonstrate the relationship between velocity and acceleration
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| force | a push or pull exerted on an object in order to change the motion of the object force has size and direction |
| motion | an objects change in position relative to a reference point |
| reference point | a stationary object that is used to describe an objects motion |
| speed | the distance traveled divided by the time intervals during which the motion occurred |
| velocity | the speed of an object in a particular direction |
| acceleration | the rate at which velocity changes over time an object accelerates if its speed,direction or both changes |
| friction | a force that oppose motion between two surfaces that are in contact |
| net force | a force that oppose motion between two surfaces that are in contact |
| balanced force | stated when the net forces acting on an object equal zero |
| unbalanced force | stated when the net forces acting on an object is not zero |
| inertia | the tendency of an object to resist being moved or if the object is moving th resist a change in speed or direction until and outside force acts on the object |
| gravity | a force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses |
| work | the transfer of energy to an object by using a force that causes the object to move in the direct of the force |
| machine | a device that helps do work either by overcoming a force or changing the direction of the applied force |
| inclined plane | a simple machine that straight ,slanted surface which facilitates the raising of loads a ramo |
| wedge | a simple machine that is made uo of two inclined planes and that moves often used for cutting |
| screw | a simple machine that consist of an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder |
| pulley | a simple machine that consist of a wheel over which a rope chair or wire passes |
| lever | a simple machine that consist of a bar that pivots at a fixed point called a fulcrum |
| wheel and axle |
