Force & Motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Friction | A force that opposes the motion of another object; making the object slow down, or giving it traction to get moving. |
| Gravity | The force that pulls every object towards one another. |
| Mass | The measure of the amount of matter (stuff) in an object. |
| Acceleration / Force | The more force you apply, the greater the acceleration. The less force you apply, the lesser the acceleration |
| Acceleration / Mass | The greater the mass, the more force necessary to get an object to accelerate. |
| Weight | A gravitational force exerted on an object's mass, that changes with position. |
| Speed | Distance over time. |
| Velocity | Speed in a given direction. |
| Acceleration | Change in speed or direction. |
| Balanced Forces | When the two forces acting on a singular object are equal. There is no movement. |
| Unbalanced Forces | When the two forces acting on a singular object are not equal. There is movement in the direction that the stronger force is pushing/pulling |
| Inertia | The resistance to change in motion. |
| Force | A push or a pull in any direct |
| Newton | The unit that force is measured in. |
| Net Force | The combination of all the forces acting on an object |
| Newton's 1st Law | An object in motion stays in motion & an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. |
| Newton's 2nd Law | Force = mass x acceleration |
| Newton's 3rd Law | For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction |
