Force Diagrams
This is the velocity of an object when the net force is zero.
What is a constant velocity?
This is an alternative to speed that also measures direction, meaning it can be both positive and negative.
What is velocity?
This affects the drag force placed on an object.
What are the density of fluids, the weight of objects, and the surface area of items?
A measurement of both magnitude and direction that includes force and velocity, among others.
What is a vector quantity?
These are the objects that gravity acts on.
What are all objects?
Visual models that represent how forces affect the movement of an object.
What are force diagrams?
The rate that is used for motion and is similar to points per question or cost per ounce.
What is miles per hour?
The speed at which the drag force on a falling object is equal to the gravity force on the object.
What is terminal velocity?
The measurement of the force of weight in the equation W=mg (which is related to F=ma) and also the scientific unit for weight.
What is a newton (amount of force required to accelerate 1 kg of mass at 1 m/s2)?
This is radial, meaning its field of force is round and radiates from a center point.
What is gravitational force?
Some of the most prominent and commonly seen types of friction.
What is sliding friction, rolling friction, fluid friction, and static friction?
This is the equation for acceleration (approximately; not all variables could be shown accurately).
What is average acceleration=change in v/change in t?
This is the acceleration of an object caused by Earth's gravitational force.
What is 9.8 m/s2?
This is inversely proportional to the distance of two objects and directly proportional to the mass of two objects.
What is gravity?
This remains almost constant on a planet, even though Fgrav changes with mass and distance.
What is the acceleration due to gravity?
The numbered labeling in force diagrams that is placed as a marker on direction arrows representing approximate force amounts.
What are newtons for exact force amounts?
The rough example of the equation triangle of speed calculations.
D
S T
The longer an object falls, the higher amount of this form of measurement can be found.
What is velocity?
This form of measurement remains the same, even when faced with a change in gravity that an object experiences.
What is mass?
The comparison of the distance of effect when two objects are attracting each other by gravity, despite differences in mass.
What is an equal pull?
The abbreviations for gravitational force, normal force, applied force, and friction force.
What are Fgrav, FN, Fa, and Ff?
The names of the determination of speed and the type of measurement that only uses the speed.
What are the magnitude and the scalar measurements?
The variables for finding various velocity equations.
What is t (time), d (distance), a (acceleration), Vt (velocity at time t), Vi (initial velocity), and dt (distance at time t)?
This is the fluid friction that an object experiences when passing through the air, and as the velocity increases, this force also grows.
What is drag?
The reason objects on Earth often don't move despite being attracted to each other.
What is the lack of a strong enough gravitational force due to low mass?
