Starting point used to describe the motion or the or the position of an object.

Question 5

Satellite

Answer 5

An object in orbit around another object.

Question 6

Speed

Answer 6

Distance an object move divided by the time it took to move that distance.

Question 7

Velocity

Answer 7

Speed and direction of an objects motion.

Question 8

Balanced forces

Answer 8

Forces that act on an object,resulting in a net force of 0 N.

Question 9

Combine

Answer 9

To unite, to join together.

Question 10

Contact force

Answer 10

Push or pull on one object by another object by another object that is touching it.

Question 11

Force

Answer 11

Push or pull that one object exerts on another.

Question 12

Friction

Answer 12

Contact force that resists the sliding motion between two objects that are touching.

Question 13

Gravity

Answer 13

Noncontact attractive force that exists between all objects

Question 14

Non contact force

Answer 14

Push or pull on an object without touching it.

Question 15

Unbalanced forces

Answer 15

Forces that act on an object,resulting in an net force that is not 0 N.

Question 16

Accelerate

Answer 16

Chang in velocity.

Question 17

Force pair

Answer 17

Two forces that result from 2 objects exerting forces on each other.

Question 18

Inertia

Answer 18

Tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.

Question 19

Newton’s first law of motion

Answer 19

States that if the net force of an object is zero,the motion of an object does not change.

Question 20

Newton’s second law of motion

Answer 20

States that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force exerted on the objects divided by the objects mass.

Question 21

Newtons third law of motion

Answer 21

States that when one object exerts a force on a second object,the second object exerts a force of the same size,but the opposite direction,on the first object.
