position Flashcards
(38 cards)
position
is the location of an object
Motion
Change in a position of an object
Speed
Is the distance shoveling a given time and is the measure of how far something moves in a given amount of time?
formula
Speed = distance/time
units
Meters second M/S or KM/HR
average speed
Is a way to calculate the speed of an object that may not be moving at a constant speed
Slope equals the average speed of an object
steeper slope = faster time
straight line means…
vector
Is a quantity that has both size and direction
Velocity
velocity = distance/time north
acceleration
Measures a rate of change in velocity
Acceleration formula
Ut- Ui
————
t
What’s the actual acceleration formula?
final velocity- starting velocity
——————————————
Time
Centripetal acceleration
Is acceleration and circular motion
force
is a push or pull
newton
Unit used to measure force
Spring scale
what is force Measured on?
vector
Force has both size and direction so it is a…
net force
Combination of all the forces acting on an object
balance force
Will not cause a change in motion for moving object or cause a non-moving object to start moving
unbalanced force
Produce a change in the object motion
first law of motion
object rest stays, and rest object in motion stays in motion, at the same speed and direction unless it experiences an unbound force the law is also called the law of inertia
inertia
This is the tenancy of all objects to resist a change in motion
Say an example of the tablecloth trick and the egg cart helmet
object at risk, the friction made the plates in book stand table while the cloth was being pulled from under, the object in motion is the egg cart when the cart stops or without a seatbelt when the car stops
Second law of motion
States the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of an object and the amount of force applied
