16
Q

electrostatic force

A

attraction or repulsion of particles or objects because of their electric charge.

17
Q

Force diagram

A

A force diagram is a picture of the object that you are studying and arrows pointing in the direction of the forces that effect your object, possibly with values in Newtons.

18
Q

Balanced forces

A

Balance forces are two forces acting in opposite directions on an object, and equal in size. Anytime there is a balanced force on an abject, the object stays still or continues moving continues to move at the same speed and in the same direction.

19
Q

Force Field

A

A force field is a map of the force felt over a particular area of space

20
Q

Gradient

A

an increase or decrease in the magnitude of a property (e.g. temperature, pressure, or concentration) observed in passing from one point or moment to another.

21
Q

Newton

A

the SI unit of force. It is equal to the force that would give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one metre per second per second, and is equivalent to 100,000 dynes.

22
Q

reaction time

A

The interval of time between application of a stimulus and detection of a response.

23
Q

repel

A

(of a magnetic pole or electric field) force (something similarly magnetized or charged) away from itself.

24
Q

s.i units

A

The seven SI base units and the interdependency of their definitions. Clockwise from top: kelvin (temperature), second (time), metre (length), kilogram (mass), candela (luminous intensity), mole (amount of substance) and ampere (electric current).

25
Q

Speed

A

the rate at which someone or something moves or operates or is able to move or operate.

26
Q

Ticker timer

A

The ticker timer makes dots on a paper tape every fiftieth of a second. So if a piece of tape is pulled through the timer for a second there will be 50 dots on it. Since the spaces between the dots take such a short time (1/50 s) the ticker timer is a very useful instrument for measuring short intervals of time.

27
Q

Time

A

a point of time as measured in hours and minutes past midnight or noon
