|
Position |
a place where someone or something is located or has been put |
|
|
Vector |
a quantity of having direction and magnitude, especially as determining the position one point in space relative to another |
|
|
Acceleration |
increase in the rate or speed of something |
|
|
Net force |
sum of all forces acting on an object |
|
|
Newton's first law |
an object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force |
|
|
Refrence point |
a basis or standard for evaluation, assessment, or comparison |
|
|
Motion |
the action or process of moving or moved |
|
|
Centripetal acceleration |
rate of change of tangential velocity |
|
|
Inertia |
a tendacy to do nothing or remain unchanged |
|
|
Newton's second law |
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
|
|
|
Speed |
the rate of which someone or something is able to move or separate |
|
|
Velocity |
the speed of something in a given direction |
|
|
Force |
strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement |
|
|
Newton |
the SI unit of force. It is equal to the force that would give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second per second, and is equivalent to 100,000 dynes.
|
|
|
Newton's third law |
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction |
