Motion and Newton's Laws - Vobab (Group 1)

Mr.Moy's 8th Grade Science Class

AB
SpeedDistance per unit time (m/s)
VelocityDistance per unit time and a direction (m/s South)
AccelerationChange in velocity per unit time (m/s^2 South)
ForceA push or pull on an object (mass * acceleration)
Net forceThe combination of all the forces acting on an object
Balanced forcesForces acting on an object that combine and firm a net force of zero; no change in motion
Unbalanced forcesForces acting on an object that combine and form a net force that is NOT zero; change in motion
MomentumA measure of how difficult it is to stop a moving object
InertiaTendency for an object to maintain its motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
Terminal velocityWhen the force of air resistance upward is equal to the force of gravity downward
Force pairsThe forces two objects apply to each other.
