Science Flashcards
What is Gravity?
A non-contact force that gives an object’s weight
What is Force?
a push, pull or twist in a particular way.
What’s Mass?
how much matter is inside of you.
What’s unbalanced forces?
Can change an object motion.
What’s a balanced force?
Don’t cause a change in an object’s motion.
What is air resistance?
is the opposing force to gravity.
What is friction?
is a contact force.
What is weight?
measure of the pull of gravity on your mass
What is Newton’s 1st law of motion?
an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external unbalanced.
Sinking?
objects that sink push on a liquid.
Floating?
If the buoyancy exceeds the weight, then the object floats.
Neutral buoyancy?
If the buoyancy equals the weight, the object has neutral buoyancy.
What is Density?
is how much mass a substance has in a given space.
What is a lever?
is a simple machine that uses the turning effect of a force to make a task easier.
What is a Fulcrum?
The turning point of a lever.
