May the FORCE be with you
A push or pull that changes the speed or direction of an object
What is Force
Occurs when two objects rub against each other, slowing their motion
What is Friction
Forces that act in the same direction; they are added together
What is Combined Forces
The horizontal axis on a graph (shows time on a distance-time graph)
What is x-axis
The process of being moved from one place to another
What is motion?
Composes any physical substance
What is Matter
Forces that act in opposite directions; they are subtracted
What is Opposing Forces
The vertical axis on a graph (shows distance on a distance-time graph)
What is y-axis
Force that acts between any two masses
What is gravity
Measure of the inertia of an object; depends on the amount of matter an object contains
What is Mass
The total force acting on an object
What is Net Force
Line graph used to show the speed of a moving object
What is Distance-Time Graph
Works against or slows motion
What is Resistance
If a block has 3N pushing on one side and 3N pushing on the other, what is the block's Net Force?
What is 0 N
Occurs when the net force is zero and there is no change in the object's motion
What is Balanced Forces
If a block has 6N pushing on one side and another 2N comines with that force what is the block's Net Force?
What is 8N
