Basic Vocab
Mass
The rate at which an objects velocity changes over time
Acceleration
Forces on an object that are equal in size but opposite in direction
Balanced Force
A graph that shows how distance changes over time; used to analyze motion
Distance-Time Graph
What is the first classroom norm?
A push or a pull on an object that can cause a change in motion, direction or shape
Force
A body in motion will stay in motion, or a body at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a force
Newton's First Law of Motion
Forces that are not equal and cause a change in motion
Unbalanced Force
A distance time graph with a line continuing in a straight and upward, diagonal line tells us the speed is
Increasing
What does "Around here, we respect our peers, staff, and property" mean?
Follow the norms, do what were supposed to do, be respectful
Motion
Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma)
Newton's Second Law
The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
Inertia
A distance time graph with a line continuing in a downwardndiagonal tells us the speed is
Decreasing
What does the first behavior norm, "Around here, no one has the right to hurt another person" mean?
Be kind, use appropriate language. No fighting, no arguing. This is verbal and physical
How fast an object moves
Speed
For every action, there is an equal or opposite reaction
Newton's Third Law
A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching
Friction
A distance time graph with a straight horizontal line tells us the speed is
Stationary; not moving
What is the fourth Academic Norm "Around here, we respect the culture of the classroom" mean?
Following the norms, respecting opinions, open to new ideas
The speed of an object in a specific direction
Velocity
Who is Newton?
Isaac Newton, Father of Physics. Created the laws of motion, calculus, and refined the scientific method.
The force that pulls objects toward each other, especially toward the center of the earth
Gravity
Why do we use graphs?
To communicate and evaluate data
Why do we have norms?
To create a safe, organized, and productive learning environment for everyone
