Force and motion
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Acceleration | Is the act of increasing speed. |
Displacement | Occurs when one party unfairly or inappropriately replaces another. |
Speed | Most often describes acceleration or a high rate of motion. |
Mass | Anything that has weight and shape has mass. |
Inertia | Inertia is resistance to change. |
Average speed | The average speed of an object is the total distance traveled by the object divided by the elapsed time to cover that distance. |
Momentum | Momentum is generally used to mean increasing forward motion. |
Velocity | If your rocket is traveling at maximum velocity, it means it can't go any faster. |
Newtons 3 laws | Three physical laws that, together, laid the foundation for classical mechanics. |
Newtons 1st law | The focus of Lesson 1 is Newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. |
Newtons 2nd law | Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. |
Newtons 3rd law | A force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. |
