1st qtr exam 2024 Flashcards
The gap between the initial position and the final
position of an object.
Displacement
The speed at which something moves in one
direction.
Velocity
The time rate of change of the velocity of an object
Acceleration
Refers to how strong the force is.
Magnitude
The greater the magnitude the faster the
velocity.
Force
Instruments used to measure:
spring
balance
force Units:
Newton (N) or
kg·m/s
Refers to the points where the object goes.
Direction
The location where the force is applied.
Point of application
Forces that result from
physical or direct contact
between two bodies
Contact Forces
It is perpendicular to the surface an object is in contact with
Normal force
s
Field force; long-range force
Do not involve direct
contact to have any effect on
the other object
Non-Contact Force
Force acting against or opposite in contact with
Frictional force
force due to gravity
gravitational force
Force applied to string, rope, chain or cable
Tension force
equal in magnitude but opposite in directions
do not cause a change in motion
Balanced force
NOT equal in magnitude and opposite in
directions
do cause a change in motion
unBalanced force
it is the sum of all forces acting on an object
Net Force
newtons 3 laws of motion
inertia
acceleration
interaction
It states that a body at rest will
continue to be at rest
Law of Inertia
- is the tendency of a body to resist any change in its motion. The
greater the mass of an object, the greater inertia it has. Also, the lesser the
mass, the lesser the inertia.
Inertia
States that acceleration is directly proportional to the force and is
inversely proportional to the mass.
THE LAW OF ACCELERATION
THE LAW OF ACCELERATION formula
a = f/m
is a type of motion that allows an object to follow a
circular path while maintaining a constant speed.
Uniform Circular
