How something moves in relation to another thing.

A consistent change in position over time.

Uniform Accelerated Motion

A consistent change in velocity over time.

A change in velocity over time.

A vector quantity that describes the change in velocity over time. m/s²

Motion in two directions at the same time.

Acceleration due to Gravity

The rate at which all things accelerate towards the center of Earth near the surface, g = 9.8m/s²

A quantity that has magnitude but no direction. A numerical description.

A descriptor of a quantity, the value of it.

The angle at which the motion, force, etc. is happening.

A push or a pull that causes a mass to accelerate. Measured in Newtons, N.

A pulling force due to a string, chain, etc.

How much Earth pulls down on an object. Fg = mg

A resisting force to a change in direction or starting of motion.

A resisting force to an object already moving.

Coefficient of Friction

The ratio between the force of friction and the normal force. Describes how slippery something is.

The amount of stuff that makes up an object/person etc. Measured in kg (kilograms).

An object in motion stays in motion (in a straight line path at a constant rate) and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside unbalancing force.

A Net Force applied to a mass will cause it to accelerate. a = Fnet/m

For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

All forces acting on an object balance out. Fnet = 0 N. Uniform or No motion.

All forces acting on an object are not balanced. Fnet ≠ 0 N. Accelerated Motion.

The object is experiencing balanced forces. Could be Uniform or No Motion.

All forces balance to 0N and there is uniform motion on that plane.

All forces are balanced to 0N. And there is no motion on that plane.

A supporting force always Perpendicular to the surface pointed out of the object.

The approximate location of all of the mass when averaged out.

How strong or weak a spring is. Measured in N/m.

The restoring force of a spring is equivalent to how far it has been displaced from its equilibrium position.

A force that resists motion and is always parallel to the surface.

The perimeter of a Circle. 2πr.

Uniform Circular Motion

Uniform motion but in a circle. There is however an acceleration towards the center of the circle.

Center seeking force. There is a minimum Fc for an object to travel in a circle.

The distance from the center of a circle to its perimeter.

The amount of time it takes to complete one full cycle of motion.

The amount of times an object completes its cycle of motion in one second.

The distance between perimeters of a circle going through the center of the circle.

The movement or pull towards the center of something.

Energy transferred to or from an object. Measured in Joules (J).

The ability to do work (cause something to happen) Measured in Joules (J).

A change in Energy over an amount of time. Measured in Watts (W or J/s).
