Basic vocabulary for a middle school science unit on "Forces & Motion".
Terms in this set (13)
force
any push or pull
gravity
attractive force between one "piece" of matter and all other "pieces" of matter
inertia
an object's resistance to a change in its motion
friction
two materials rubbing against each other
gravity and electromagnetism
Name two forces that "act at a distance"
electromagnetism
a force that can attract or repel
normal force
the force an object exerts perpendicular to its surface (i.e. floor up on your feet)
abnormal force
the force many of my students exert on their science teacher!! :)
force, mass, acceleration
Newton's Second Law of Motion describes how these three properties are related
weaker
Does the strength of forces that "act at a distance" get stronger or weaker the farther you move from the objects?
true
True or false: An object's gravity is stronger the more massive the object.
false
True or false: If gravity suddenly vanished, a book on a table would immediately float up and away.
field
Force extending beyond the object responsible for the force.

Verified questions
health
what type of antigens are present in type o blood
environmental science
Suppose you are living the the year 3000. You are a reporter writing an article about the quality of life of the average person. Write two versions of the article. In one article, you are living in a global population that has continued to grow. In the other article, you are living in a global population that has leveled off at the current population size.
engineering
Devise a refrigeration cycle that works on the reversed Stirling cycle. Also, determine the COP for this cycle.
physics
An ideal gas is under an initial pressure of $2.45 \times 10^{4}\ \mathrm{Pa}$ and occupies a volume of $0.20\ \mathrm{m}^{3}.$ The slow addition of $8.4 \times 10^{3}\ \mathrm{J}$ of heat to this gas causes it to expand isobarically to a volume of $0.40\ \mathrm{m}^{3}.$ (a) How much work is done by the gas in the process? (b) Does the internal energy of the gas change? If so, by how much?
