Whopper Day 1 Flashcards
Combination of all the forces acting on an object
Net Force
Force that opposes the motion of any object
Friction
An object’s motion will not change unless acted upon
Law of Inertia (1st Law of Motion)
A type of force needed to overcome inertia of an object
Unbalanced Force
Tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
Inertia
Is a force
Gravity
The rate of change in the speed of something
Acceleration
The amount of motion an object has. (It can be conversed) comes in many forms
Momentum
Individual forces that are EQUAL magnitude and opposite
Balanced Forces
Push and pull of an object resulting from the object interaction with another object
Force
The act or process of moving a particular action or movement
Motion
The rate or process at which something moves or travels
Speed
The mass of an object is how much matter there is the force exerted by the gravity on that object
2nd Law of Motion
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reactoion
3rd Law of Motion
The time it takes an object ti revolve around the sun
Earth= 1 year (365 days)
Revolution
The amount of time an object takes to rotate.
All 8 planets rotate or spin around an axis
Rotation
A celestial body moving in an elliptical orbit around a star
Planet
Share their orbits with other objects/smaller than planets far away and hard to study
Dwarf Planet
Are rocky, airless worlds that orbit our sun (Smaller than planets)
Asteroid
A small body moving in the solar system that would become become a meteor if it entered the Earth’s atmosphere
Meteoroid
Little chunks of rocks and debris in space
Meteor
When meteors fall through the planet’s atmosphere , pieces that survive the journey are called….
Meteorite
Cosmic snowball of frozen gases, rock and dust
Comet
One complete circuit around an orbited body
Orbit
