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
Speed
the rate at which someone or something moves or operates or is able to move or operate.
26
Ticker timer
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
Time
a point of time as measured in hours and minutes past midnight or noon
