acceleration
|
rate of change in velocity, which is the change in velocity divided by the change in time
|
|
deceleration
|
acceleration in the opposite direction as the velocity of the object; results in speed decreasing
|
|
electromagnetic force
|
attractive or repulsive force acting between charged particles
|
|
electromagnetism
|
properties and interactions of objects with electric and magnetic fields
|
|
electromagnetism
|
properties and interactions of objects with electric and magnetic fields
|
|
force
|
a push or pull; any quantity that produces, or is capable of producing, motion
|
|
friction
|
force of resistance acting between objects in contact and tending to dampen their motion
|
|
gravity
|
force of attraction between all masses in the universe
|
|
inertia (ih-NUHR-shuh)
|
an object´s resistance to its motion changing
|
|
mass
|
the amount of matter an object is made up of and the measure of the amount of inertia (resistance to change in momentum) the object has, measured in grams
|
|
momentum
|
an object´s resistance to its motion changing, expressed as the object´s mass times the object´s velocity
|
|
newton
|
the unit of force in the metric system; it is a unit derived from mass and acceleration (speed over time in a direction)
|
|
speed
|
the rate at which an object changes position
|
|
velocity (veh-LAH-suh-tee)
|
the rate at which an object changes position when traveling in a certain direction, expressed as a rate: the distance an object traveled from one position to the next divided by the time it took to travel the distance
