Zech's Science Review 12.2018 Flashcards
Balanced force
Balanced Forces - are two forces acting in opposite directions on an object, and equal in size
Magnetic force
Magnetic Force - Attraction or repulsion that arises betweenelectrically chargedparticles because of their motion.
Unbalanced force
Unbalanced force - Forcesthat cause a change in the motion of an object are
At rest
At rest - not moving or exerting oneself.
Motion
Motion - is the activity or process of continually changing position or moving from one place to another.
Gravitational force
Gravitational force - is a force that attracts any two objects with mass.
1 Speed
Speed -Therateorameasureoftherateofmotion
Force
Force - strength or energy exerted or brought to bear:cause of motion or change:active power
Friction
Friction - is the Resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces
Contact force
Contact force - Aforceis a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object’sinteractionwith another object.
Non-contact force
Noncontact force - is aforcewhich acts on a objectwithoutcoming physically incontactwith it.
Pull
Pull - When force moves an object closer from something
Repel
Repel - to force away or apart or tend to do so by mutual action at a distance
Attract
Attract - to exert a force that draws something in
Acceleration
Acceleration - the rate of change (or derivative with respect to time) of velocity.
Position
Position - its location relative to a reference point (or origin of a coordinate system).
Magnetism
Magnetism - the properties of attraction posed by magnets; the molecular properties common to magnets.
Weight -
Weight - is the force of gravity on the object and may be defined as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg.
Push
Push - When force moves an object away from something
2 Speed
Speed - Distancetraveleddividedbythetimeoftravel.
Speed can be calculated using the formula:
Speed = Distance / Time
When two objects travel the same distance, the object that reached the finish line first must have been ________________
When two objects travel the same distance, the object that reached the finish line first must have been traveling at a faster speed.
When two forces are unbalanced, acceleration _______
does occur (objects stay in motion).
When two forces are balanced, acceleration _______
does not occur (objects stay at rest).
