My Bike Flashcards
Acceleration
To gain speed
Attract
The cause of something to come to a place
Balanced force
When two forces act upon each other in opposite directions, and they are the same size, we say they are balanced
Deceleration
To slow down speed of something
Distance
The space in between two points

Electrostatic force
Attraction or repulsion of particles or objects
Force

Reaction time
The time elapsing between the beginning of the application of a stimulus and the beginning of an organism’s reaction to it.
Repel
To force away someone or something
S.I units
Meter for length, kilogram for mass, second for time, etc
South pole
The South Magnetic Pole is the wandering point on the Earth’s Southern Hemisphere where the geomagnetic field lines are directed vertically upwards
Speed
