force and changes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Acceleration | Acceleration is a measure of the changes in velocity during a period of time. |
| Force | A force is a push or a pull on an object. |
| Contact force | A contact force is a push or a pull on one object by another object that is touching it. |
| Newton's second law of motion | Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object equals the net force on the object divided by the object's mass. |
| Free-body diagram | A free-body diagram is a simple model to understand systems of objects with any amount of applied forces. |
| Net force | The net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object. |
| Non contact | A non contact force is a force that one object can apply to another object without touching. |
| Gravity | Gravity is an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass. |
| Field | A field is a region of force that has a physical force at has every point. |
| Weight | Weight is the gravitational force exerted on an object. |
| Force pair | A force pair is the forces two objects apply each other. |
| Normal force | The normal force is the force that pushes perpendicular to the object's surface. |
| Elastic collision | When colliding objects bounces off each other it is an elastic collision. |
| Inelastic collision | A collision in which there is a loss of kinetic energy. |
| Position | A place where someone or something is located or has been put. |
| Starting point | A thing, an idea or a set of facts that can be used to begin a discussion or process. |
