Chapter 10 - Motion and Forces Flashcards
A vector representing the object’s change in position
Displacement
The study of motion and forces
Dynamics
Branch of physics the address the effects of forces on matter
Mechanics
Any change in velocity
Acceleration
A) States that any two objects attract each other through gravitational force
B) gravitational force exerted on an object near the surface of the earth or any celestial body
A) universal law of gravitation
B) gravity
Velocity at which the force of drag stops an object from speeding up
Terminal velocity
Center seeking force that causes objects to travel in a curved path rather than a street line
Centripetal force
Center fleeing force results from an object’s weight attempting to move in a straight line
Centrifugal force
A) friction on a moving object
B) friction that keeps an object from moving
C) Unitless values in express effect of serf aces on friction
A) Kinetic friction
B) static friction
C) coefficient of friction
Rate of doing work
Power
The product of an objects mass and velocity
Momentum
Early force-multiplier machines
Simple machine
The ratio of work output to work input
Efficiency
Pivot point upon which the beam of a lever rests
Fulcrum
Beam of the lever from the fulcrum to the input
Input arm
Beam of a lever from the fulcrum to the output force
Output arm
