Science Engineering Test Flashcards
1
Q
Gravity
A
the force of attraction that pulls all matter.
2
Q
Energy
A
the ability to work. Energy makes things move.
3
Q
Fluid Friction
A
fluid layers moving relative to each other (also known as drag). The viscosity of water slows the object (person) down.
4
Q
Viscosity
A
thickness of fluid. Viscosity slows the object down. The higher the viscosity, the more friction will be created.
5
Q
Potential Energy
A
the stored energy an object has because of its position.
6
Q
Kinetic Energy
A
The energy of motion
7
Q
Lubricant
A
a substance to lessen friction
8
Q
Friction
A
a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object
9
Q
Accelerate
A
speeding up
10
Q
Inertia
A
the resistance of an object to change in its motion, including its direction
