Study Notes

Motion and Force

Motion is a change in position.
Velocity describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction.
Speed is how fast an object is moving without considering direction.
Acceleration is a change in velocity over time.
Force is a push or pull on an object which can cause the object to change velocity (accelerate).
Inertia is an object's tendency to resist changes in motion.
Friction is a force resisting motion between two surfaces in contact.

Energy

Energy is the ability to do work.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
Potential energy is stored energy available to do work.
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is to stop a moving object.
Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
