Motion and Speed | Acceleration and Forces | Newton's Law's of Motion | Gravity | Simple Machines |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is position?
The location of an object.
|
What is acceleration?
The rate of change of velocity.
|
What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?
An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest tends to stay at rest.
|
What is gravity?
The force of attraction between objects due to their mass.
|
What is a teeter totter/
A lever with a fulcrum in the center that is found on a children's playground.
|
What is a reference point?
A fixed object used to determine if something is in motion.
|
What is a force?
A push or a pull.
|
What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?
The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.
|
What is decreases?
As distance between two objects increases, gravity does this.
|
What is a pulley?
The simple machine used to raise and lower a flag.
|
What is the formula used to calculate speed?
Speed=Distance/Time
|
What is a contact force?
A force such as friction. air resistance, or tension.
|
What is the formula for force?
Force=mass x acceleration
|
What is increases.
As the mass of objects increase, gravity does this.
|
What is a wheel and axle?
An electric fan and a bicycle are examples of this type of simple machine.
|
What is a vector?
A quantity with both magnitude and direction.
|
What is at-a-distance force?
Gravity, magnetism, or electricity.
|
What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?
Every force has an equal and opposite force.
|
What is free fall?
When gravity pulls down an object and no other forces act on it.
|
What is a screw?
A spiral staircase is an example of this simple machine.
|
What is velocity?
Speed in a certain direction.
|
What is unbalanced force?
A force that causes a change in the object's motion.
|
What is inertia?
The tendency for an object to resist a change in motion.
|
What is orbit?
When an object travels around another object in space.
|
What is a wedge?
A knife and an axe are examples of this simple machine.
