Q

Friction

A

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

Position - its location relative to a reference point (or origin of a coordinate system).

17
Q

Magnetism

A

Magnetism - the properties of attraction posed by magnets; the molecular properties common to magnets.

18
Q

Weight -

A

Weight - is the force of gravity on the object and may be defined as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg.

19
Q

Push

A

Push - When force moves an object away from something

20
Q

2 Speed

A

Speed - Distancetraveleddividedbythetimeoftravel.

21
Q

Speed can be calculated using the formula:

A

Speed = Distance / Time

22
Q

When two objects travel the same distance, the object that reached the finish line first must have been ________________

A

When two objects travel the same distance, the object that reached the finish line first must have been traveling at a faster speed.

23
Q

When two forces are unbalanced, acceleration _______

A

does occur (objects stay in motion).

24
Q

When two forces are balanced, acceleration _______

A

does not occur (objects stay at rest).

25
Q

The heavier an object, the less force/more force that is needed to speed up or slow down the object.

A

The heavier an object, the more force that is needed to speed up or slow down the object.

26
Q

When two balls of the same weight are hit from the same place, the ball that is hit with the least force /most force will travel the farthest.

A

When two balls of the same weight are hit from the same place, the ball that is hit with the most force will travel the farthest.

27
Q

If two balls are pushed with the same force on a slope, the heavier/lighter ball will travel the fastest and the farthest.

A

If two balls are pushed with the same force on a slope, the heavier ball will travel the fastest and the farthest.

28
Q

If two balls are pushed with the same force on flat surface, the heavier/lighter ball will travel the fastest and the farthest.

A

If two balls are pushed with the same force on flat surface, the lighter ball will travel the fastest and the farthest.

29
Q

In order to slow down an object, you could add a force in the __________ direction that the object is moving.

A

In order to slow down an object, you could add a force in the opposite direction that the object is moving.

30
Q

In order to speed up an object, you could add a force in the ________ direction that the object is moving.

A

In order to speed up an object, you could add a force in the same direction that the object is moving.

31
Q

The motion of an object can be changed by

A

speeding up, slowing down, or changing directions.

32
Q

An object that is moving at a variant speed/ constant speed has no change in speed or direction if no force is acting on it.

A

An object that is moving at a constant speed has no change in speed or direction if no force is acting on it.

33
Q

The heavier the object, the lesser/ greater amount of gravitational force that acts upon it

A

The heavier the object, the greater amount of gravitational force that acts upon it

34
Q

A

gravitational attraction for the sun.

35
Q

Gravity is a force that

A

pulls objects down.

36
Q
