Q

Mass

A

A property of a physical body which determines the strength of its mutual gravitational attraction to other bodies, its resistance to being accelerated by a force

17
Q

Newton

A

Is the International System of Units (SI), a unit of force

18
Q

North Pole

A

The North Pole is defined as the point in the Northern Hemisphere where the Earth’s axis of rotation meets its surface

19
Q

Reaction time

A

The time taken to react to something. It indicates how fast the thinker can execute the mental operations needed by the current task

20
Q

Repel

A

To move something away from something else

21
Q

S.I. units

A

The International System of Units is the modern form of the metric system and is the world’s most widely used system of measurement

22
Q

South Pole

A

The South Pole is one of the two points where the Earth’s axis of rotation intersects its surface

23
Q

Speed

A

The distance covered per unit of time

24
Q

Ticker Timer

A

Uses a vibrating object to create marks on paper used to calculate velocity and speed

25
Q

Time

A

Time is a measure in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future, and also the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them

26
Q

Unbalanced forces

A

Unbalanced forces are forces that changes an object’s motion. The result of an unbalanced force is acceleration of an object

27
Q

Velocity

A

Velocity is the rate of change of the displacement, the difference between the final and initial position of an object
