Term
Acceleration
Definition
velocity/time
mesured in m/s^2
Term
Positive Accleration
Definition
Graphed with a positive slope
Term
Negiative Accleration
Definition
Graphed with a negative slope
Term
Flat Line
Definition
Going at a constant speed
Term
Velocity-Time
Speed-Time
Definition
The types of graph you use to show Acceleration
Term
Force
Definition
Energy exherted on a object to make things stop, or go.
Term
Push and Pull
Definition
The two types of forces there are
Term
Unbalacnced Force
Definition
Forces are unbalanced, and now an object is either moving or stopping
Term
Balanced Force
Definition
Forces are all equal in size and direction and the object is not moving
Term
Net Force
Definition
Chaos, every thing will have a different speed, direction now.
Term
Friction
Definition
A force that oppses motion between two forces. 3 types of Friction
Term
Sliding Friction
Definition
Depends upon the wieght of the object and the surface that the object is on. Rough=more friction
Smooth- less friction
Term
Rolling Friction
Definition
Oppses motion less than sliding Friction. Basically sliding motion, but with a wheel.
Term
Liquid Friction
Definition
Has a lubricant, like oil, hand lotion or something of the like.
Term
Sir Isaac Newton
Definition
Mathematician

Focus on gravity, Motion,speed and acceleration
Term
Inertia
Definition
the property that makes things move or makes things stop. dependent on mass
Term
First Law of Motion
(Law of Inertia)
Definition
All objects in motion will stay in motion, and all objects at rest will stay at rest, untill the are met with an unbalanced force
Term
Newtons
Definition
wieght is measured in Newtons. 1 newton is about 9.8 kg
1 kg is about 2.2 lbs
Term
Second Law of Motion
Definition
Force (measured in N)= Mass(kg) x acceleration (m/s^2)
