Motion
How an object can be measured by its change in position from one area to another
What is motion?
This causes acceleration
What are forces?
The rate at which velocity changes.
What is acceleration?
It pivots at a fixed point called a fulcrum
What is a lever?
Stored up energy
What is potential energy?
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
What is Newton's Third Law?
When the forces are equal and an object doesn't move.
What is a balanced force?
The act of slowing down.
What is deceleration?
Consists of a wheel over which a rope, chain or wire passes.
What is a pulley?
Cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the law of Conservation of Energy?
How an object resists any change in its motion
What is inertia?
Newton
What is a unit of measurement of force?
the speed of an object in a given direction
What is velocity?
A portable, include plane with a thick side that tapers to a thin side.
What is a wedge?
Energy that an object has because of its position or change.
What is kinetic energy?
Force = mass X acceleration
What is Newton's Second Law?
When an objects changes position
What is an unbalanced force?
The force that one surface has on another when they rub together.
What is friction?
What is an inclined plane?
The type of change in energy that allows a roller coaster car to speed up as it crests and then travels down hill.
What is the change of potential energy into kinetic energy?
"Things at rest stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force."
What is Newton's First Law?
The sum of forces acting on an object.
What is net force?
The product of an object's mass and its velocity.
What is momentum?
An inclined plane wrapped around a pole.
What is a screw?
Total energy of motion and position of an object.
What is mechanical energy?
