| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Reference point | is the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position of an object. |
| Position | Position is an object's distance and direction from a reference point. |
| Motion | the process of changing position |
| Displacement | is the difference between the initial, or starting. position and the final position |
| Speed | is 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 |
| Acceleration | is a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time |
| Force | is a push or a pull on an object. |
| Contact force | force is a push or pull on one object by another object that is touching it |
| Newton's third law | states that when an objects applies a force on another object, the second object applies a force of the same strength on the first object. |
| Newton's second law | states that the acceleration of an object equals the net force on the object divided by the object's mass. |
| newton's first law | states that an object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by a force |
| Firtction | 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 |
| new force | is the sum of all the forces acting on an object |
| Force pairs | is the forces two objects apply to each other |
| normal force | is the force that pushes perpendicular to the object's surface . |
| noncontact force | is a force that one object can apply to another object without touching it |
| Inertia | resists change of state of motion |
| Inelastic | when colliding objects bounce off each other |
| Elastic | when colliding objects don't bounce off each other |
| Gravity | is a attractive force that exists all objects that have mass |
| Weight | is a gravitational force exerted on an object |
| field | a region of space in gravity that has physical quantity |
