A | B |
acceleration | the rate of change in velocity |
velocity | describes the speed and direction of an object |
mass | the amount of an object |
terminal | the greatest velocity a falling object reaches |
horizontal | velocity parallel to Earth's surface |
centripetal force | the force on an object pulling toward the center of a circular path |
speed | the rate change in position (or rate of motion) |
rate | ratio between two different quantities |
inertia | property of a body that resist change in velocity |
rest | zero velocity |
momentum | mass of an object multiplied by its velocity |
air resistance | upward force of air against a moving object |
vertical | velocity in an up or down direction |
newtons | unit of measurement for force |
force | a push or pull exerted on one body by another |
pairs | forces always comes in |
direction | two objects with the same velocity must be moving in the same |
gravity | a force that acts on all objects on Earth |
friction | the force that opposes the motion of two touching surfaces |
pressure | amount of force per unit area |
process skills | skills we use daily to solve or find an outcome to a problem |
scientific method | method use to investigate a question (experiement) |
projectile motion | the motion of an object influenced only by gravity |
safety rules | rules to follow in a lab |
average speed | spped figured over a period of time |
actual speed | shows the speed the object is traveling in |
kinetic energy | energy associated with an object due to the object's motion |
potential energy | energy that is stored within a system |
