Motion
Speed (distance) in a given direction.
What is velocity?
This is a push or a pull on an object.
What is force?
The unit used to measure the property of mass.
What are grams?
Time x Speed (velocity).
What is the formula for distance?
Things at rest stay at rest, things in motion stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force
What is Inertia?
A change in speed, direction, or both.
Speeding up or slowing down
What is acceleration?
Forces are measured in this unit.
What are Newtons?
⅙ of the earth’s gravity
What is the moon's gravity?
Distance ➗ time
What is the formula for Speed?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
What is Newton’s third law?
When an object changes position in relation to a reference point.
What is motion?
This is required to produce motion in an object.
What is unbalanced force?
The amount of matter in an object.
What is Mass?
Distance ➗ speed (velocity)
What is the formula for time?
Another name for Newton's 1st law.
What is Inertia?
Movement of an object that depends on mass and velocity
What is Momentum?
________ produce no change in motion.
What are balanced forces?
The measure of the gravitational force on an object.
What is weight?
Mass x Velocity (speed).
What is the formula for momentum?
The acceleration of an object depends on its mass and on the force exerted on it
Force = Mass x Acceleration
What is Newton’s second law?
The background used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion.
What is a frame of reference?
A force that opposes motion between two objects.
What is a friction?
A force that pulls objects toward the ground
What is gravity?
Vf - Vi ➗ time
(final speed - initial speed) ➗ time
What is the formula for Acceleration?
Science dealing with the properties of matter and energy.
What is Physics?
