motion | movement; the act of going from one place to another |
force | strength or energy that moves an object or holds it in place |
Sir Isaac Newton | discovered gravity |
Laws of motion | rules that describe how all objects move in the universe |
inertia | the tendency of an object to resist change in the direction or speed of its motion |
momentum | the amount of force in a moving object |
gravity | the pull every object has on another object |
friction | a force that slows down moving things |
fluid friction | friction when an object moves through a fluid or gas |
Three types of friction | sliding, rolling, fluid |
Strongest type of friction | sliding friction |
magnetism | push or pull of certain metals by a magnetic field |
electromagnetism | force of electricity and magnetism together |
work | the act of moving something a certain distance |
Formula for Work | Force X Distance |
Potential Energy | stored energy |
Kinetic Energy | the energy of motion |
Energy transfer | when energy moves from one object to another |
