Basic Physics Concepts

Front

Static Friction

Back

The force that resists sliding motion initiation between two surfaces in contact and at rest.

Front

Fluid Friction

Back

A friction force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid.

Front

Rolling Friction

Back

Friction that occurs when an object rolls over a surface.

Front

Sliding Friction

Back

A force that opposes the direction of motion of an object as it slides over a surface.

Front

Acceleration

Back

The rate at which velocity changes. (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction)

Front

Speed

Back

A measure of how far something moves in a given amount of time.

Front

Motion

Back

A change in position over time.

Front

Gravity

Back

The force of attraction between all objects depends on distance and size.

Front

Velocity

Back

Speed in a given direction.

Front

Friction

Back

A force that resists the motion of an object over another.
