Newtons Laws of Motion
The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
What is inertia?
GPE
What is gravitational potential energy?
A starting point you choose to describe the location or position of an object.
What is a reference point?
The measure of distance an object travels over time
What is speed?
Acceleration depends on the net force acting on an object and the mass of an object.
What is Newtons 2nd law of motion?
Energy due to motion
What is kinetic energy?
The process of changing position
What is motion?
The speed and direction of an objects motion
What is velocity?
For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.
What is Newtons 3rd law of motion?
Energy due to interactions between objects
What is Potential energy?
The total amount an object has traveled
What is distance?
A quantity that has both magnitude and direction
What is a vector?
The force that two objects exert on each other that resist motion.
What is friction?
energy stored in objects that are compressed or stretched
What is Elastic energy?
The difference between the initial position and the final position of an object.
What is displacement?
A Change in velocity over time
What is acceleration?
Whenever an action or reaction occur, momentum is transferred from one object to another.
What is the law of conservation of momentum?
This law states that energy is not created or destroyed
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Represented by a straight line on a Distance Vs. Time graph
What is constant speed?
The maximum velocity and object can reach as it falls through a liquid or gas
What is terminal velocity?
