Physics Vocab

AB
MomentumMass X Speed
SpeedDistance / Time
AccelerationVf-Vo/Time
VelocitySpeed + Direction
FrictionThe force that opposses motion
GravityForce that pulls objects together
Centripetal ForceKeeps objects moving in a circular path
Balanced ForcesNo net movement, equal in all directions
Unbalanced forcesAcceleration, objects move in direction of greater force
Constant SpeedNo acceleration
Frame of ReferenceWhat you compare motion to
Circular motionAccelerates even at constant speed because of change in direction
Potential EnergyEnergy of position (no movement, but movement potential)
Kinetic EnergyEnergy of motion
InertiaThe tendancy of things to keep doing what they are already doing
FrictionThe force that opposes motion
Newton's First LawInertia
Friction in the airAir resistance
Newton's Second LawForce = Mass X Acceleration
COnservation of MomentumTransferring the mometum of one object to another
