Chapter 3 and 4 Vocabulary Practice

AB
AccelerationThe rate of change in velocity
Average SpeedA rate of motion determined by diving the total distance traveled by the total traveled time
Balanced ForcesForces that are equal in siza and opposite in direction
Constant SpeedSpeed that does not change
ForceA push of a pull one body exerts on another
FrictionThe force the opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching
GravityForce exerted by every object in the universe on every other object
InertiaThe tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion
Instantenous SpeedThe rate of motion at a given instant in time, such as that given on a car's speedometer
Net ForceThe sum of the forces on an object when unbalanced forces are applied to it
SpeedThe rate of motion, or the rate at which a body changes position
VelocityThe speed and direction of a moving body
WeightThe measure of the force of gravity on an object
Air ResistanceFrcitional force air exerts on a moving object
Artificial SatelliteHuman-made devices that orbit Earth
Centripetal AccelerationAcceleration toward the center of a circle by an object moving along a circular path
Centripetal ForceThe force that causes an object moving along a circular path to move toward the center of the path
Law of conservation of momentumA law stating that the total momentum of a group of objects is conserved unless a net force acts on the objects
MomentumA property of any moving object. Symbol is "p".
Newtons Second Law of MotionDescribes the acceleration of an object in the direction of the net force applied to it. F = m * a
Newtons Third Law of MotionDescribes action-reation pairs. For every action force, there is an equal and opposite reation force
ProjectileAny object shot or thrown through the air. Travel in a curved path
Terminal VelocityThe greatest velocity reached by a falling object
Newtons First Law of MotionObjects at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an net force
