My Bike Flashcards
Acceleration
Change in velocity / time
Force
Anything that changes
Lubricant
A substance introduced to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact / also reduces heat that’s generated when the surfaces move
S.I Units
meter for length.
kilogram for mass.
second for time.
The two different measurement from the results you collected
Attract
To pull to or draw toward oneself or itself < a magnet attracts iron >
Force Diagram
A force diagram is simply a diagram showing all the forces acting on an object, the force’s direction and its magnitude. It is a simplification of the picture that shows just the forces.
Magnetism
He property of attracting certain metals : the attracting property of a magnet
South Pole
The South Pole, also known as the Geographic South Pole or Terrestrial South Pole, is one of the two points where the Earth’s axis of rotation intersects its surface.\ the southern end of the earth’s axis, the southernmost point on earth.
Balanced Forces
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.
Force Field
An invisible barrier of force, an intensity that restricts or refuses the movement toward an area or object
Mass
A large body of matter with no definite shape.
Speed
The rate at which someone or something moves or operates or is able to move or operate.
deceleration
To reduce the speed of : slow down : to move at a decreasing speed.
Newton
The unit of force in the meter-kilogram-second system equal to the force required to impart an acceleration of one meter per second per second to a mass of one kilogram
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 \ a device used to measure the passage of time. Historically, ticker tape was also used to relay stock prices and other financial information
