motion unit 6 Flashcards
the change in velocity per unit of time
acceleration m/s/s or m/s squared
motion
change in postion relative to frame of referance
momentum
property of matter that depends on both mass and velocity
push or pull on an object
force
forces that cancel or add up to zero… no net force
balanced forces
newtons 1st law of motion
when forces are balanced: object in rest stay at rest: objects in motion stay in motion in straight line unless acted on by an outside force
newtons 2nd law
when forces on an object are unbalanced the object will accelerate
the sum of the forces are greater than zero
unbalance forces
F/M=
acceleration M/S/S
mass X velocity
momentum <p>
point assumed to be at rest. motion is relative to this assumed fixed point.
frame of referance
velocity
rate of change in position of an object. in a straight line. speed can be in any direction.
d/t=
Velocity
newtons 3rd law
every force is accompanied by an equal or opposite force
friction
force that opposes motion and acts in opposite direction
