motion forces
forces in motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| motion that is describes based on a frame of reference | relative motion |
| any change of position | motion |
| change in the speed or direction of an object's motion | acceleration |
| a certain place | position |
| force that pulls all objects towards each other | gravity |
| a pull or push | force |
| metric unit of force | newton |
| things around you that you use to descibe motion | frame of reference |
| measure of an object's change of position during a unit of time | speed |
| measure of the force of gravity on an object | weight |
| force that keeps two objects that are touching from sliding past each other | friction |
| to find speed you need to know two things | distance and time it took |
| motion is stopped and started by | forces |
| to increase acceleration you need one of these two things | more force or same force over longer time |
| name an instrument used to measure force | spring scale |
