A | B |
force | a push or pull |
net force | overall force after all forces are counted |
unbalanced force | can cause an object to change motion |
balanced force | will not change the objects motion |
inertia | the tendency of an object to resist change in its motion |
sliding friction | created by solid surfaces rubbing against one another |
rolling friction | when an object rolls over a surface |
fluid friction | when a object moves through a fluid |
gravity | the force that pulls objects toward each other |
free fall | when the only force acting on a falling object is gravity |
projectile | an object that is thrown |
air resistance | a type of fluid friction |
terminal velocity | the fastest speed at which an object can fall |
weight | the measure of the force of gravity on an object |
momentum | the product of mass time velocity |
pressure | equals force divided by area |
pascal | the unit of pressure |
fluid | a substance that can flow easily |
equilibrium | forces equally balanced |
Bernoulli's Principle | moving fluid has less pressure than still fluid |
