Q

Magnetism

A

a physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, which results in attractive and repulsive forces between objects

17
Q

Mass

A

a large body of matter with no definite shape.

18
Q

Distance

A

the length of the space between two points.

19
Q

Ticker time

A

The ticker timer makes dots on a paper tape every fiftieth of a second. So if a piece of tape is pulled through the timer for a second there will be 50 dots on it. Since the spaces between the dots take such a short time (1/50 s) the ticker timer is a very useful instrument for measuring short intervals of time.

20
Q

Balanced forces

A

If two individual forces are of equal magnitude and opposite direction, then the forces are said to be balanced. An object is said to be acted upon by an unbalanced force only when there is an individual force that is not being balanced by a force of equal magnitude and in the opposite direction

21
Q

Deceleration

A

deceleration. Deceleration is a slowing down: the unexpected deceleration of your car might mean that you’ve run out of gas. Use the noun deceleration when you talk about a gradual decrease in speed
