Question | Answer |
---|---|
the rate of change in velocity of an object | Acceleration |
the energy of an object moving along a curve around a fixed point, e.g., such as the moon traveling around the earth | Angular momentum |
the force needed to create and maintain circular motion | centrifugal force |
velocity increasing or decreasing steadily | constant acceleration |
a scientist test in which there is only one variable | controlled experiment |
a non-scientific word for acceleration that is decreasing; also called negative acceleration | deceleration |
a force caused by air rubbing on an object | drag |
the ability to do work | energy |
a push or a pull | force |
a force created by the rubbing of two objects against each other | friction |
the force of the earth's pull on an object | gravity |
the tendency of an object at rest to stay at rest and in object in motion to stay in motion | inertia |
the energy of motion | kinetic energy |
energy cannot be created or destroyed, only the change in its form, for example, kinetic energy can be changed to heat due to friction | law of conservation of energy |
