My Bike Flashcards
Acceleration
The rate of change of velocity of an object
Attract
A physical force causing or tending to cause objects to approach, or unite
Balanced forces
When two forces have an equal size, but act in opposite directions
Deceleration
If a ball were to roll along the ground and slow down to a stop it would be decelerating
Distance
A numerical description of how far apart two objects are
Energy
A property of objects
Electrostatic force
Electrostatic force is the phenomenon that results from slow-moving or stationary electrical charges
Force
Force is any interaction which tends to change the motion of an object
Force diagram
A diagram showing all the forces acting on an object
Force field
A vector field indicating the forces exerted by one object on another
Friction force
The force resisting solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other
Gradient
The degree of inclination or the rate of ascent or descent
Gravity
A natural phenomenon by which all physical bodies attract each other. Gravity gives weight to physical objects and causes them to fall toward one another
Lubricant
A lubricant is a substance introduced to reduce friction between surfaces in mutual contact, which reduces the heat generated when the surfaces move
Magnetism
Is a class of physical phenomena that are mediated by magnetic fields. All materials are influenced to some extent by a magnetic field
