Definition
| rate of change in velocity, which is the change in velocity divided by the change in time |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| attractive or repulsive force acting between charged particles |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a push or pull; any quantity that produces, or is capable of producing, motion. In the second law of motion it is equal to Mass x Acceleration. The ability to apply a change in velocity on a given object. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| force of resistance acting between objects in contact and tending to dampen their motion; A force that resists all motion. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| force of attraction between all masses in the universe; an attractive force between any 2 objects due to mass. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an object´s resistance to a change in motion |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the amount of matter an object is made up of and the measure of the amount of inertia (resistance to change in momentum) the object has, measured in grams |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an object´s resistance to its motion changing: the object´s mass times the object´s velocity |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the unit of FORCE in the metric system (SI); it is a unit derived from mass and acceleration (speed over time in a direction) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the rate at which an object changes position; distance divided by time |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the rate at which an object changes position when traveling in a certain direction, expressed as a rate: distance divided by time + direction |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A law of motion that states that an object at rest stays at rest and one in motion stays in motion. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This says the acceleration of an object increases by force applied to it, and decreases based on its mass. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Fore every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This is what causes acceleration. Two forces acting opposite each other. |
