Force And Momentum Flashcards
1
Q
Force
A
Push or pull on an object as the result of one object/surface interacting with another
vector
2
Q
Contact forces
A
Interactions between objects that touch
3
Q
Non contact forces
A
Attract or repel, even from a distance
4
Q
Inertia
A
An objects resistance to change in a state of motion, state of motion is another way of saying velocity
5
Q
Friction
A
The resistance an object encounters when moving along another surface, affected by the smoothness of the surface, smoother surface= less friction
6
Q
Acceleration
A
Rate at which an object changes its velocity
7
Q
Momnetum
A
The quality of motion an object has (mass in motion)
How difficult it is to stop a moving object
8
Q
Impulse
A
Force applied to the object over a period of time
