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.
