Forces and Motion

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
balanced forces   forces on a object that combine to give a zero net force and do not change the motion or direction of the object.  
🗑
gravity   attractive force between two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them.  
🗑
direction   with reference to the point or region toward which it is directed  
🗑
displacement   distance and direction of an object’s change in position from the starting point.  
🗑
electrical force   the net movement of electric charges in a single direction,  
🗑
force   a push or pull exerted on an object.  
🗑
friction   force that opposes the sliding motion between two touching surfaces.  
🗑
magnetic force   attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles because of their motion.  
🗑
mass   amount of matter in an object.  
🗑
motion   the action or process of moving or being moved.  
🗑
acceleration   rate of change of velocity; can be calculated by dividing the change in the velocity by the time it takes the change to occur.  
🗑
net force   sum of the forces that are acting on an object.  
🗑
speed   distance an object travels per unit of time.  
🗑
unbalanced force   forces on a object that combine to give a net force NOT equal to zero and changing the motion and/or direction of the object.  
🗑
weight   gravitational force exerted on an object.  
🗑
mass   amount of matter in an object.
