Science Explorer 7th

AB
forcea push or pull
net forceoverall force after all forces are counted
unbalanced forcecan cause an object to change motion
balanced forcewill not change the objects motion
inertiathe tendency of an object to resist change in its motion
sliding frictioncreated by solid surfaces rubbing against one another
rolling frictionwhen an object rolls over a surface
fluid frictionwhen a object moves through a fluid
gravitythe force that pulls objects toward each other
free fallwhen the only force acting on a falling object is gravity
projectilean object that is thrown
air resistancea type of fluid friction
terminal velocitythe fastest speed at which an object can fall
weightthe measure of the force of gravity on an object
momentumthe product of mass time velocity
pressureequals force divided by area
pascalthe unit of pressure
fluida substance that can flow easily
equilibriumforces equally balanced
Bernoulli's Principlemoving fluid has less pressure than still fluid
