Lesson 1 Forces 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
Characterized by push and pull applied to an object.
Force
Influence that changes the motion of an object.
Present even of an object is not moving.
Cause of motions and movements we see everyday.
Force
Refers to how strong the force is, hence the greater the magnitude the faster the velocity.
Magnitude
Measure of magnitude in MKS or the meter kilogram second system
Newton (N)
Measure of magnitude in CGS or centimeter gram second system
Dyne (DYN)
Measure of magnitude in FPS or foot town second system
Pound (LBS)
What system is the international system unit that is mostly used in measuring magnitude
Newton (N)
Newton is the international system unit named after a physicist in mathematician _____
Isaac Newton
Point to where the object goes are going to.
Direction
Where your applying the force
Point of application
Straight line passing through the point of application and is parallel to the direction of the force
Line of action
A type of force wherein an object needs physical contact to another object
Contact Forces
