It may move away from or toward a reference point after a length of time
An object in motion
Natural process which brings about changes on Earth’s surface
Weathering
Depends on the kind of surfaces that come in contact with each other
The amount of frictional force
The rate at which the object moves over a certain distance in a given time
The object’s speed
The object will move and change its position if this type of force is applied
Unbalanced forces
The negatively charged particles of atoms
Electrons
Formalized and published in 1960
The standard SI units based on the meter-kilogram-second system (MKS)
Enables the soil to absorb water, thus decreasing the speed and direction of runoff
Vegetation cover
Cause the object to start moving, stop moving, or change the direction of its movement
When an unbalanced force is experienced by an object
It refers to an agricultural practice of growing different types of crops in the same area over a sequence of years or seasons
Crop rotation
Value of deka
10
A metal commonly used in electrical wires because of its high electrical conductivity.
Copper
The tendency of an object at rest to remain at rest, or an object to stay in motion in a straight line unless an unbalanced force acts on it
Inertia
They do not allow light to pass through them
Opaque materials
Would produce a very clear image on the surface
Specular or regular reflection
Affects the motion of an object
Force
Cause a change in motion
Unbalanced forces which are unequal in size
Depends on the distance traveled and the length of time traveled
Speed
Commonly used as heat conductors
Aluminum, silver, iron, and steel
Used to measure distance
Meter or kilometer
Constantly changing
Earth’s surface
The change in position of an object over time as compared with a reference point
Motion
Tiny particles in which heat and electricity moves through
Atoms
The ability to allow heat and electricity to flow through objects
Conductivity
