1
New cards

Equation of force

F=m*a

2
New cards

Equation of velocity

V=d/t

3
New cards

Velocity

Speed in a given direction

4
New cards

Newton’ first law of motion

An object in motion will stay in motion at the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

5
New cards

Equation of acceleration

A=v/t

6
New cards

Acceleration

When an object changes speed or changes direction

7
New cards

Rolling friction

The force resisting the motion of a rolling body on a surface

8
New cards

Sliding friction

The resistance created by any two objects when sliding against each other

9
New cards

Fluid friction

When fluids are moving relative to each other

10
New cards

What are the 3 types of friction?

Fluid friction, rolling friction, and sliding friction

11
New cards

Spring force

The force required to extend or compress a spring, the spring will push or pull against whatever you are doing it to

12
New cards

Potential energy

The energy possessed by an object of its relation to another object

13
New cards

Static

Original form of an object with no energy

14
New cards

Buoyant force

The upward force that’s on an object completely or partly in a fluid

15
New cards

Archimedes principle

A result when an object is totally or partially immersed in a fluid is subject to an upward force equal in magnitude to the weight of the fluid

16
New cards

Friction

The resistance that one surface or object encounter when moving over another

17
New cards

Lift force

The force that opposes the weight of an object and causes it to rise into the air

18
New cards

Gravity

The force that attracts a body towards the center of the earth or any other form of mass

19
New cards

Acceleration of gravity

9.8m/s/s

20
New cards

Applied force

Force which is applied to an object by another object

21
New cards

Newton

The main label of force

22
New cards

Viscosity

Thickness of a fluid

23
New cards

Newton’s third law of motion

For every action (force), there is an equal and opposite reaction (force)

24
New cards

Air resistance

The force exerted by the air on things moving through it
