| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When is a force balanced between two objects? | When there speed and time are equal; or their masses are equal. |
| Reference Point | An fixed object that is used to determine if another obect is in motion. |
| Motion of an object | change in postion over time |
| When you drop something it is pulled to the ground by ____________ | Gravity |
| Force | A push or a pull in a particular direction |
| Force is measured in... | Newtons (N) |
| What happens to an object once it comes into contact with a force depends on two things... | 1) how strong the forces are 2) the direction of the forces |
| Net force | the combination of all forces acting on an object |
| Motion | a change in postion in relation to a reference point |
| Speed | distance traveled divided by time |
| Average Speed | total distance divided by total time |
| Velocity | speed in a given direction |
| velocity changes when... | speed or direction changes |
| Acceleration | rate at which velocity changes |
| Vector | a line used to show force. A vector is a line with a dot and an arrow pointing in the direction of the force. |
| What does an object do when a balanced force acts on it? | The objects motion does not change |
| A force is defined as... | a push or pull in a particular direction |
| Speed equals distance divided by... | Time |
| What is the force that slows down moving objects? | friction |
| You slide down a slide! Describe two or more forces that effect your motion as you slide down the slide. | gravity, friction, and force |
