| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| displacement | The difference between the initial, or starting position and final position. |
| speed | a measure of a distance an object travels in the given amount of time. |
| velocity | speed and direction of a moving object. |
| vector | a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. |
| reference point | the starting point. |
| position | an object distance and direction from the reference point. |
| motion | the progress of changed position |
| Acceleration | a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time. |
| force | A push or a pull on an object. |
| Contact force | is a push or a pull on one object by another object that is touching it. |
| Newton's 2nd law | States that the acceleration of an object equals the net force on the object divided by the object's mass |
| Friction | a contact force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching. |
| Free-body diagram | a simple model to understand what will happen to an object due to a force. |
| Net force | the combination of all the forces acting on an object. |
| Newton's first law | an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts on the object. |
| Newton's 3rd law | when an object |
| Non contact force | a force that one object applies to another object without touching it. |
| Gravity | an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass. |
| Field | A region of space that has physical quantity (such as a force) at every point. |
| Weight | The gravitational force exerted on a object. |
| Motion | the process of changing positions. |
| Force pair | The forces two objects apply to each other. |
| Elastic Collision | when colliding objects bounce off each other |
| Inelastic Collision | A Collision in which where there is a loss of kinetic energy. |
| inertia | the inherent resistance of any physical object to change its state of motion or rest, directly proportional to its mass. |
