Force + Motion
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Acceleration | A vehicle's capacity to gain speed within a short time. |
Displacement | The moving of something from its place or position. |
Speed | The rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate. |
Momentum | The quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity. |
Mass | A coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape. |
Inertia | A tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged. |
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. |
velocity | The speed of something in a given direction. |
newtons law number 1 | An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. |
newtons law number 2 | The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables |
newtons law number 3 | A force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. |
