Fundamental Forces
A push or pull that can change an object's motion.
What is a force.
The location of an object relative to a reference point.
What is Position.
The amount of matter in an object that is measured using weight.
What is Mass.
Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction; they result in no change in motion.
What is Balanced Forces.
The more mass an object has ...
What is the more force is required to change the objects motion.
A non-contact force that pulls objects toward each other (specifically toward the center of the Earth in this context)
What is Gravity.
The path that a moving object follows (e.g., North, South, Left, Right, Up, Down )
What is Direction.
The measure of the force of gravity on an object.
What is Weight.
Forces that are not equal; they result in a change in motion (starting, stopping, or changing direction)
What is Unbalanced Forces.
When looking at a line graph, a flat line means
What is the object is at rest.
A force that opposes motion between two touching surfaces.
What is Friction.
The rate at which an object changes position.
What is speed.
The amount of space between two points.
What is Distance.
The sum (x+y+z=) of all forces acting on an object.
What is Net Force.
When looking at a diagonal line on a line graph that indicates
What is constant speed.
A force that can attract(pull) or repel (push) objects containing magnetic materials like iron.
What is Magnetism.
Speed in a specific direction, sometimes identified as speed + direction =
What is Velocity.
How long it takes for a change in motion to occur.
What is Time.
A state where an object is not moving because forces are balanced.
What is AT Rest.
When looking at a steep sloped line on a line graph that indicates.
What is the object is moving fast.
A type of friction (drag) that acts on objects moving through the air.
What is air resistance.
Any change in speed or direction, such as speeding up, slowing down, or turning.
What is Acceleration.
The standard unit used to measure the strength of a force.
What is a Newton (N)
The tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion.
What is Inertia.
When looking at a curved line on a line graph that indicates.
What is the object is accelerating faster or slower.
