Term
Newton's 1st Law of Motion
Definition
an object at rest will stay at rest, an object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force
Term
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion
Definition
an object will accelerate in the direction of an unbalanced force
Term
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion
Definition
if one object exerts a force on another object, then the 2nd object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction of the 1st
Term
friction
Definition
the force that one surface exerts on another when the two rub against eachother
Term
inertia
Definition
the tendency of an object to resist any change in motion
Term
momentum
Definition
the product of an object's mass and velocity
Term
gravity
Definition
the force that pulls objects towards the earth
Term
force
Definition
a push or pull exerted on an object
Term
work
Definition
force exerted on an object that causes it to move (Nm or J)
Term
mechanical advantage
Definition
the number of times the force exerted on a machine is multiplied by the machine
Term
Difference between actual and perfect mechanical advantage
Definition
Actual takes in friction and perfect doesn't
Term
six simple machines
Definition
inclined plane, wedge, screw, lever, wheel and axel, pully
Term
kinetic energy
Definition
energy of motion
Term
potential energy
Definition
evergy that is stored and held in readiness
Term
conversion of energy
Definition
the change of one form of energy to another
Term
what does the law of conservation state?
Definition
energy cannot be created or destroyed
Term
power
Definition
rate at which work is done
