Kevin's Cards about Force and Motion Flashcards
Balanced Forces Definition
Are equal forces acting on one object in opposite directions. Will not change an objects motion.
Unbalanced Forces Definition
It causes the object to increase speed (speed up ), decrease speed (slow down ), or change its direction.
Speed definition
How far an object can travel in a certain amount of time
Speed Formula
Speed = Distance divided by time or s = d/t
Average speed Formula
Average speed = total distance divided by total time or Avgs = td/tt
Net Force Definition
The overall ( or combined ) forces acting on an object
When Forces act in different directions what do you do to solve for the net force
You subtract the measurements
When Forces act in the same direction what do you do to solve for the net force
You add the measurements
What do Inclined planes do
Inclined Planes decreases the amount of force needed to move an object by increasing the distance the object moves.
