Motion and Newton's First Law of Motion

Concepts and Terms for Chapter 2

AB
Frame of ReferenceThe object or point from which movement is determined
EarthMost common frame of reference for movement
SpeedDistance traveled by a moving object per unit of time
Constant SpeedSpeed that does not change
SlopeThe rise over run on a distance time graph
Straight lineShape of a distance-time line graph for constant speed
VelocitySpeed in a given direction
AccelerationRate of change of velocity
InertiaTendency of things to remain in motion or at rest until an outside force act on them
Vector QuantityA quantity such as velocity that specifies direction and magnitude
Circular MotionType of motion where Velocity is continuously changing because the direction is contiuously changing
Newton's first law of motionThe law of inertia is which of newton's laws of motion?
Curved lineThe shape of a line on a distance time graph for acceleration
Net Forcecombination of all the forces acting on an object
Equilibrium RuleSum of F = 0
Support ForceThe upward force
NewtonThe unit of Force
TensionThe force that occurs in a rope when both ends are pulled in opposite directions
9.8 meters per second squaredAcceleration due to gravity
MassThe amount of matter in an object
WeightThe effect of gravity on the mass of an object
w=mgThe formula for weight
g or 9.8 m/s/sThe acceleration due to gravity
