4 gr Motion & Design
Motion and Design Vocabulary Words-4th grade
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| aerodynamic | able to move through the air with as little air resistance as possible |
| air resistance | the force of friction on a vehicle as it moves through the air |
| axle | a bar or shaft on which a wheel turns |
| constant | a condition that is not changed in a scientific experiment |
| drag | force that opposes the forward movement of a vehicle |
| dynamics | the part of physics tht deals with how things move and the forces tht change their motion |
| energy | the ability to do work or to make something happen |
| force | a push or pull |
| friction | force that resists movement between two objects that are touching |
| gravity | a force of attraction between any two masses. |
| gravity | the strength of this force is dependent on the mas of each object and their distance from each other |
| kinetic energy | energy associated with motion |
| mass | the amount of matter an object has |
| mode | the value occuring most frequently in a series of measurements |
| potential energy | stored energy that can be released to become other forms of energy |
| speed | a measure of how fast something is moving |
| tension | the force exerted by a stretched object, such as a spring |
| variable | an element in an experiment that can be changed |
| weight | a measurement of the force of gravity on an object |
| Laws of Motion | were formulated by Sir Isaac Newton and they describes how objects move in relation to the forces acting on them |
