| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is motion ? | change in position over time, related to a reference point |
| what is speed? | distance/time expressed as km/h. mph or ft/s |
| what is constant speed? | speed that does not change. |
| What is average speed ? | total distance/total time |
| What is velocity? | speed in a given direction. Distance/time |
| What is the rate of change in velocity? | Acceleration |
| Circular motion is.... | object traveling in a circular motion is always changing direction, therefore, velocity changes and acceleration changes. |
| What is force? | push or pull. Expressed in newtons |
| Wghat is the combination of all the forces acting on an object? | net force |
| forces applied in the same directions are called? | balanced forces |
| what is a combined net force that is not equal to 0 ? | unbalanced force |
| What is fricion? | A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact. More mass=more weight=more friction |
| What are the 2 types of friction? | kinetic and static friction |
| friction between 2 moving surfaces is? | kinetic friction |
| force applied to an object that is not moving to cause an object to move? | static friction |
| what is a lubricant for? | to reduce friction by using a fluid between 2 surfaces, such as oil,wax,grease, water |
