The force that results from two surfaces rubbing against one another. Vocabulary: Acceleration Equilibrium Force Friction Gravity Inertia Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy Velocity The force that results from two surfaces rubbing against one another.
Friction
An increase in an object velocity Vocabulary: Acceleration Equilibrium Force Friction Gravity Inertia Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy Velocity An increase in an object velocity
Acceleration
Something that changes an object’s state of rest or motion Vocabulary: Acceleration Equilibrium Force Friction Gravity Inertia Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy Velocity Something that changes an object’s state of rest or motion
Force
Vocabulary: Acceleration Equilibrium Force Friction Gravity Inertia Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy Velocity An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force is introduced (This is Newton’s 1st law).
Inertia
The energy an object has because it’s MOVING. Vocabulary: Acceleration Equilibrium Force Friction Gravity Inertia Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy Velocity The energy an object has because it’s MOVING.
Kinetic energy
How fast and what direction an object is moving. Vocabulary: Acceleration Equilibrium Force Friction Gravity Inertia Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy Velocity How fast and what direction an object is moving.
Velocity
A tendency of an object to keep moving when it’s in motion Vocabulary: Acceleration Equilibrium Force Friction Gravity Inertia Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy Velocity A tendency of an object to keep moving when it’s in motion
Momentum
Vocabulary: Acceleration Equilibrium Force Friction Gravity Inertia Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy Velocity A state of balance where opposing forces on an object simply cancel each other out, and the object remains stable and unchanged.
equilibrium
Vocabulary: Acceleration Equilibrium Force Friction Gravity Inertia Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy Velocity A force that pulls anything on the Earth’s surface toward the center of the Earth.
gravity
What does friction do?
Slows things down or keeps them from starting to move
What is kinetic energy?
Moving energy
What is potential energy?
Stored energy
What is the study of energy and matter and how they interact with each other?
Physics
What is Newton’s 1 st law of motion?
An object at rest, will stay at rest and an object moving in a straight line will stay in a line unless an outside force acts upon it
What is Newton’s 2nd law of motion?
The more force an object receives, the faster it will move; the larger the object, the more force that is needed to move it
What is Newton’s 3rd law of motion?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
