tension force

Front

pulling force applied to an object that can make an object stretch

Back

elastic potential energy

Front

Energy stored by something that can stretch or compress

Back

normal force

Front

the force perpendicular to a surface that prevents an object from falling through the surface

Back

velocity

Front

Speed in a given direction

Back

Newton's First Law

Front

an object at rest will stay at rest, an object that is moving will stay moving unless disturbed by an un balenced force.

Back

displacement

Front

Distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point.

Back

acceleration

Front

(physics) a rate of change of velocity

Back

Newton's Second Law

Front

F=ma

Back

average speed

Front

The overall rate of speed at which an object moves; calculated by dividing the total distance an object travels by the total time.

Back

inertia

Front

An objects resistance to change its motion

Back

equilibrium

Front

A situation of rest, in which there are no forces that create change.

Back

conservation of energy

Front

Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Back

friction

Front

A force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching.

Back

force of gravity

Front

The only downward force acting on a free falling object is gravity and it causes objects to accelerate at a force of 9.86 m/s2

Back

distance

Front

How far something has moved from point A to point B

Back

conservative force

Front

don't change the amount of mechanical energy in the system

Back

kinetic energy

Front

Energy of motion

Back

position

Front

An objects location

Back

applied force

Front

a force which is applied to an object by a person or another object

Back

gravitational potential energy

Front

Potential energy that depends on the height of an object.

Back

spring constant

Front

The measurement of how stiff the spring is

Back

instantaneous speed

Front

The rate at which an object is moving at a given moment in time.

Back

Newton's Third Law

Front

for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Back

nonconservative force

Front

Work done by kinetic fritction
