Term
Displacement
Definition
The distance and direction between starting and ending positions
Term
Speed
Definition
the distance traveld divied by the time needed to travel the distance
Term
accleration
Definition
change invelocity divided by the amaount of time required for the change to occur
Term
velocity
Definition
displacement divided by (speed with a direction)
Term
Newtons 1st law
Definition
an object will remain at rest or move in straight line wit constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force
Term
Balanced forces
Definition
equal froces that acted in oposite dirctions
Term
Force
Definition
a push or pull
Term
Unblanced Forces
Definition
Forces that act in opsete dirctions that are equal strength
Term
friction
Definition
a force that resits motion
Term
Newtons 2nd law
Definition
an object acted upon by an unblanced force will accelrate in the direction of the force
Term
newtons 3rd law
Definition
forces always acr in equal but opposete
pairs
Term

Definition
type of friction that occurs when two surfaces slide past each other
Term
static friction
Definition
the firction that hinders a staionary object from moving ona surface when a force is applied to that object
Term
weight
Definition
a force that can change when accleration due to gravity changes
Term
mass
Definition
a force that can change when accelration due to gravity changes
Term
Inertia
Definition
measures an object tendency to remain at rest or keep movin with constant velovity
Term
Newton
Definition
unit used to measure force
Term
newtons laws of motion
Definition
a set of rules used to predict and explain motion
