forces and motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| speed | how fast an object moves |
| velocity | speed and direction |
| acceleration | rate at which velocity changes |
| deceleration | decrease in velocity |
| why do you weigh less on the moon? | weight depends on gravity and there is less gravity on the moon |
| what 3 forces can slow you down when your riding a bike? | friction, air resistance, and gravity |
| universal law of gravitation | gravity depends on mass and distance |
| newtons 1st law(law of inertia) | a body in motion will stay in motion until a net force acts on it and a body at rest will stay at rest until a net force acts on it. |
| friction | force between surfaces that poopses motion |
| force | push or pull- measured in Newtons(N) |
| static friction | force is applied but the objest doesnt move. |
| rolling friction | has wheels |
| liquid friction | has to do with water |
| lubricants | reduces friction |
