Science And Newtons Laws Flashcards
What is average speed??
Total distance over total time
What is speed??
Distance over time
What are the steps for solving an equation
1: what am i being asked to find or solve for
2: Write the formula (use your triangle)
3: plug in information given into the formula
4: Do the math! Circle your answer
5: LABEL
What is velocity
Speed in a given direction
The rate at which velocity changes
Acceleration
What are the thee ways acceleration changes
Increasing speed
Decreasing speed
Changing direction
What is the SI unit for acceleration
Meters per second per second
A push or pull
Force
What is the SI unit for force
Newton
The force that two surfaces exert on each other when they rub against each other
Friction
A force that pulls objects toward each other
Gravity
What are the two factors that affect the gravitational attraction between objects
1: Mass of the object
2: Distance between the objects
What happens when something has a larger mass than something else
The more mass an object has, the greater the gravitational force
What happens when two objects are far apart
Distance
The father apart two objects are the les the gravitational force between them
All objects fall at the same rate due to Gravity
All objects fall at the same rate due to Gravity
