Formula to solve for force

Front

Force = mass x acceleration

Back

Speed

Front

distance an object travels per unit of time

Back

Newton's 1st Law

Front

(Law of Inertia) an object in motion tends to stay in motion & an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Back

Radiant energy

Front

energy that travels in electromagnetic waves (heat, solar, light, sound)

Back

Acceleration

Front

A change in speed or direction

Back

Formula to solve for Time

Front

Time = Distance / Speed

Back

Formula to solve for acceleration

Front

Acceleration = force / mass

Back

Balanced Force

Front

forces on an object that combine to give a zero net force and do not change the motion of the object

Back

Electrical energy

Front

energy of electron currents moving in conductors (wires)

Back

Law of Conservation of Energy

Front

energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be transferred and transformed

Back

Motion

Front

an object's change in position relative to a reference point

Back

Unit for mass

Front

kg

Back

Potential Energy

Front

energy of position, stored energy. PE=mxgxh

Back

light energy

Front

energy which travels through waves; caused by burning chemicals or heated objects

Back

Formula to solve for mass

Front

Mass = force / acceleration

Back

Unbalanced Force

Front

two or more forces that are not equal and opposite of one another; can cause change in motion

Back

Unit for acceleration

Front

m/s^2 (meters per second squared)

Back

Gravity

Front

(physics) the force of attraction between all masses in the universe

Back

Thermal energy

Front

the energy a substance or system has related to its temperature

Back

Newton

Front

The metric unit of force

Back

Unit for speed

Front

m/s (meters per second)

Back

Velocity

Front

the speed of an object in a particular direction

Back

Generator

Front

transforms mechanical energy to electrical

Back

Force

Front

a push or pull that acts on an object

Back

Unit for force

Front

N (newtons)

Back

Newton's 3rd Law

Front

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. All forces come in pairs that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction

Back

Mechanical energy

Front

energy due to motion or position of matter

Back

Mass

Front

A measure of the amount of matter in an object

Back

Chemical Energy

Front

stored energy in matter; released during reaction

Back

Net Force

Front

the combination of all forces acting on an object

Back

Friction

Front

the force that opposes the motion of one surface as it moves across another surface

Back

Work

Front

the use of a force to move an object over a distance

Back

Formula to solve for Distance

Front

Distance = speed x time

Back

Sound energy

Front

a form of kinetic energy, caused by vibrating objects

Back

Energy

Front

the ability to do work or cause changes

Back

Kinetic energy

Front

energy of motion, relating to mass and speed

Back

Unit for velocity

Front

m/s + direction

Back

Newton's 2nd Law

Front

Acceleration depends on the objects mass and on the net force acting on the object. F=MxA

Back

Inertia

Front

The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion

Back

Formula to solve for Speed

Front

Speed = Distance / Time
