An object's distance and direction from a reference point.
What is position?
100
This law states, "The strength of the force between two objects depends on the mass of each object and the distance between them.
What is the Law of Universal Gravitation?
100
A push or pull on one object by another that is touching it.
What is a contact force?
100
The amount of force per unit area applied to an object's surface?
What is pressure?
100
Stored energy due to the interactions between objects or particles.
What is potential energy?
200
The difference between the initial and the final position of an object.
What is displacement?
200
This law states, "when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first object."
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
200
An attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.
What is gravity?
200
The mass per unit volume of a substance.
What is density?
200
The energy that electromagnetic waves carry.
What is radiant energy?
300
A measure of the change in velocity during a period of time.
What is acceleration?
300
This law states, "The total momentum of a group of objects stays the same unless outside forces act on the objects."
What is the law of conservation of momentum?
300
A force that resists the motion of two surfaces that are touching.
What is friction?
300
This law states, "the weight of the fluid that an object displaces is equal to the buoyant force acting on the object."
What is Archimedes' Principle?
300
Energy that is due to the motion of particle that make up an object.
What is thermal energy?
400
A measure of the distance an object travels per unit of time.
What is speed?
400
This law states, "if the net force on an object is zero, the motion of the object does not change." (An object at rest stays at rest; an object in motion stays in motion)
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
400
The combination of all the forces acting on an object.
What is net force?
400
An upward force applied by a fluid on an objects in the fluid.
What is a buoyant force?
400
This law says, "energy can be transformed from one form into another, but energy cannot be created or destroyed."
What is the law of conservation of energy?
500
The speed and the direction of a moving object.
What is velocity?
500
This law states, "the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on the object divided by the object's mass."
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
500
Forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero.
What are balanced forces?
500
This is what happens to pressure the farther down you go underwater.
What is increases?
500
An energy source that is available in limited amounts or that is used faster than it is replaced.
