Speed (+formula)
|
Speed is the rate of change in position
S=D/T |
|
Instantaneous Speed (+ex.)
|
rate of motion at any given instant
ex. speedometer in a car |
|
constant speed (+ex.)
|
A speed that doesn't change.
ex. A car driving on the highway (doesn't stop keeps moving) |
|
Average Speed (+Ex.)
|
Total distance traveled divided by the total time of travel.
Ex. 5-km is average distance 1/4 hour is average speed |
|
X axis is...
y Axis is... |
Time
Distance |
|
Velocity (formula)
|
The rate of motion in direction and speed.
V=d/t |
|
A (moving) object can have the same ________ but different ________
|
speed
velocities |
|
Acceleration (formula)
|
the rate of change in velocity; change in the speed or direction
A= Vf-Vi/t |
|
3 Ways to accelerate
|
increase speed
decrease speed change direction |
|
Force (ex.)
|
A push or pull one body exerts on another
ex. Pushing, pulling, stretching, squeezing, bending and falling. |
|
Balanced Force (ex.)
|
when a force doesn't cause a change in velocity.
ex. a tug of war game with your dog |
|
Net force (ex.)
|
when a force causes a change in velocity
ex. kick a ball, when a dog pulls you |
|
Inertia
|
the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.
|
|
Inertia is directly related to an objects ______
|
Mass
|
|
More mass; the more ______ needed to start/stop it.
|
force
|
|
sir Isaac Newtons 1st Law of Motion
|
an object moving at a constant velocity will keep moving unless a net force acts on it. If it's at rest, it will stay at rest until a net force acts upon it.
|
|
Friction (+ex.)
|
the force that opposses motion between to surfaces that are touching eachother.
ex.Lube |
|
friction depends on...
|
1, The kinds of surfaces
2. the amount of force pressing it together. |
|
GRavity
|
the attracting force exerted by every object on every other object.
|
|
Gravitational force depends on ...
|
1. The obectss mass
2. their distance apart |
|
Weight (ex.)
|
the measure of the force of gravity on an object
|
|
Weight is related to....
And depends on... |
mass
location (further away from earth the less gravitational pull there is) |
|
When weight changes...
|
Mass DOES NOT change
|
|
Weight is measured in
|
