Motion/forces Vocab Flashcards
(45 cards)
Distance between an objects starting and final position
Displacement
Move faster
Acceleration
Changing position
Motion
Total length traveled
Distance
Starting point used to describe the motion
Reference point
An objects orbit around another object
Satellite
Distance an object moves divided by the time it takes
Speed
Speed and direction of an object
Velocity
Forces that act on an object with a net force of 0
Balanced forces
Join together
Combine
Push or pull on an object with another object touching it
Contact force
Push or pull on an object to move another
Force
Contact force that makes an object slide between two objects that are touching
Friction
Non contact attractive force with objects that have matter
Gravity
Push or pull on an object without touching it
Non contact force
Forces that act, resulting in a net force that’s not 0 N
Unbalanced forces
Velocity change
Accelerate
Two forces that result from two exerting forces
Force pair
Tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
Inertia
If net force is zero object will not move
Newton’s first law of motion
Acceleration of an object equal to the net force exerted divided by the objects mass
Newton’s second law of motion
When one object exerts a force on another, the object exerts the same amount of force in the opposite direction, into the first object
Newton’s third law of motion
Displacement
Distance between an objects starting and final position
Distance
Total length traveled
