Motion
commencer à apprendre
The state in which one object’s distance from another is changing.
Reference Point
commencer à apprendre
A place or object used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion.
Distance
commencer à apprendre
the measurement from one place to another.
Speed
commencer à apprendre
The distance an object travels per unit of time.
Average Speed
commencer à apprendre
The overall rate of speed at which an object moves; calculated by dividing the total distance an object travels by the total time.
Velocity
commencer à apprendre
Speed in a given direction.
Slope
commencer à apprendre
The steepness of a line on a graph, equal to its vertical change divided by its horizontal change.
Acceleration
commencer à apprendre
The rate at which velocity changes.
Force
commencer à apprendre
A push or pull exerted on an object.
Newton
commencer à apprendre
A unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second.
Net Force
commencer à apprendre
The overall force on an object when all the individual forces acting on it are added together.
Unbalanced Forces
commencer à apprendre
Forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an object’s motion.
Balanced Forces
commencer à apprendre
Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions.
Friction
commencer à apprendre
The force that one surface exerts on another when the two surfaces rub against each other.
Static Friction
commencer à apprendre
Friction that acts on objects that are not moving.
Sliding Friction
commencer à apprendre
Friction that occurs when one solid surface slides over another.
Rolling Friction
commencer à apprendre
Friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface.
Fluid Friction
commencer à apprendre
Friction that occurs as an object moves through a fluid.
Gravity
commencer à apprendre
The force that pulls objects towards each other and to earth.
Mass
commencer à apprendre
The amount of matter in an object.
Air Resistance
commencer à apprendre
The fluid friction experienced by objects falling through the air.
Inertia
commencer à apprendre
The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.
Momentum
commencer à apprendre
The product of an object’s mass and velocity.
Work
commencer à apprendre
Force exerted on an object that causes it to move.
Input Force
commencer à apprendre
The force exerted on a machine.
Output Force
commencer à apprendre
The force exerted on an object by a machine.
Ideal Mechanical Advantage
commencer à apprendre
a machine with an efficiency of 100%
Actual (real) Mechanical Advantage
commencer à apprendre
the measurement of mechanical advantage of a machine. It’s always less than 100% because of work wasted due to friction.
Efficiency
commencer à apprendre
The percentage of the input work that is converted to output work.
Newton’s First Law of Motion
commencer à apprendre
An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object moving at a constant velocity will continue moving at a constant velocity, unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
commencer à apprendre
Acceleration depends on the object’s mass and on the net force acting on the object.
Energy
commencer à apprendre
the ability to cause changes in matter. It changes form and is never used up.
Electromagnetic Waves
commencer à apprendre
waves that carry electric or magnetic energy through outer space.
Constant Speed
commencer à apprendre
an object’s speed does not increase or decrease, it stays the same.
Variable Motion
commencer à apprendre
different distances traveled in equal times.
Kinetic Energy
commencer à apprendre
The energy of an object in motion.
Potential Energy
commencer à apprendre
The energy that’s stored in a stationary object.
Electrical Circuit
commencer à apprendre
A path that electrons from a voltage or current flow.
Incline Plane
commencer à apprendre
a simple machine that has a sloped, flat surface.
Pulley
commencer à apprendre
a simple machine that consists of a grooved wheel with a rope or cable wrapped around it.
Lever
commencer à apprendre
A simple machine that consists of a rigid bar that pivots about a fixed point.
Wheel and Axle
commencer à apprendre
A simple machine that consists of two attached circular objects that rotate around a common axis.
Compound Machine
commencer à apprendre
A device that combines 2 or more simple machines.
