| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| change in position | motion |
| the rate that describes how far an object moves over time | speed |
| an objects speed and direction of motion | velocity |
| the rate of change of an objects velocity; speeding up and slowing down or changing directions | acceleration |
| the distance and direction that an object is from a reference point | position |
| an amount of something measured per unit of something else | rate |
| an object of place you use to describe the locations of other objects | reference point |
| a point of view on the speed and direction that objects are moving and what reference point they are moving relative to | reference frame |
| the requirements that must be met for an engineering solution to be successful | criteria |
| limitations on an engineering solution | constraints |
| a set of verbal or mathematical rules to describe a natural phenomenon | Scientific law |
| states that an object's acceleration is equal to the net force on the object divided by its mass | newton's second law |
| states that when an object exerts a force on a second object. the second object exerts a force on the first object with equal strength but in the opposite direction | newton's third law |
| a push or a pull on an object | force |
| the sum of all forces acting on an object | Net force |
| forces that have a net force equal to 0 N | balanced force |
| forces that have a net force not equal to 0 N | unbalanced force |
| a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching | friction |
| a unit used to measure the strength of a force | newton |
| states that an object at rest, stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion | newton's first law |
| Total length traveled | distance |
| a straight line from where you begin to where you end, and it always includes a direction | displacement |
