Physics
|
Natural study that involves the study of matter, motion, forces, and energy.
|
Physics is the most fundamental sciences of all the sciences.
|
|
|
Dynamics
|
The study of forces and the acceleration that they cause
|
|
|
|
Newton
|
1kg x m/s squared
|
F = m•a
|
|
|
Average speed
|
The average speed during the course of a motion
|
|
|
|
Acceleration
|
Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.
|
|
|
|
Free fall
|
An object in free fall experiences an acceleration of -9.8 m/s squared
|
|
|
|
Force
|
It is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction. Force is commonly explained in terms of Newton's laws of motion.
|
All known natural forces can be traced to the fundamental interactions. Force is measured in newtons.
|
|
|
Weight
|
Fw = m•g
|
The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object and may be defined as the mass times the acceleration of gravity.
