Physics

Physics is the study of motion. The words in this game are used to describe motions.

AB
accelerationa word or measurement used to describe how quickly something changes speed or direction.
kinetic energyenergy of motion
potential energyenergy stored to be released at a later time
forceany push or pull
centripetal forcea force which pulls an object into a curved path
motiona change in position over time
velocityspeed in a certain direction
inertiathe tendency for an object to move in a straight line at a constant speed
Newton's First Law of MotionThe law of inertia
Newton's Second Law of MotionForce = mass x acceleration
Newton's Third Law of Motionthe action - reaction law
frictiona force that opposes motion when two or more objects rub together
momentumMomentum = mass x velocity
Law of Conservation of EnergyEnergy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change from one form to another
speeddescribes how quickly an object moves
physicsthe study of motion
workwork is force over a certain distance
