| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| displacement | is the difference between the initial starting, position and the final position |
| speed | is a measure of the distance an object travels in a given amount of time |
| velocity | is the speed and direction of a moving object |
| vector | is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction |
| reference point | the starting point you choose to describe the location |
| position | an object's distance and direction from a reference point |
| motion | motion is the process of changing positions |
| friction | is a force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching. |
| free-body diagram | is a simple model to understand systems of objects with any amount of applied forces |
| net force | is the sum of all the forces acting or an object |
| newtons first law of motion | states that a object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by a force |
| newtons second law of motion | the acceleration of an object equals the net force on the object divided by the objects mass |
| newtons third law of motion | when an object applies a force on another object, the second object applies a force of the same strength on the first object |
| force pair | is the forces two objects apply to each other |
| normal force | is the forces that pushes perpendicular to the objects surface |
| elastic collision | if objects collide and stick together |
| noncontact force | is a force that one object can apply to another object without touching it |
| gravity | is an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass |
| field | is a region of space that has a physical quantity at every point |
| weight | is the gravitational force exerted on an object |
