Centripetal | | A type of collision where momentum is conserved, but KE is not. |
Elastic | | The slope of a position-time graph, can be or - |
Velocity | | The rate of change of velocity with time |
Potential | | The product of force and distance when they act in the same direction |
Energy | | A push or pull on an object due to the interaction of two objects. |
Work | | A term used with "energy" or "friction" that implies motion |
Speed | | A term often used with "acceleration" that literally means "center-seeking" |
Newtons | | A force that exists between any two masses separated by a distance |
Acceleration | | A change in momentum |
Gravity | | A quantity with magnitude |
Inertia | | How fast an object is traveling |
Impulse | | The tendency for an object to resist changes in velocity; directly related to its mass. |
Power | | The type of force that is directed perpendicular to a surface |
Force | | The change in position of an object (from start to finish) |
Displacement | | The rate at which work is done; the rate at which energy is used. |
Kinetic | | A force that opposes motion when two surfaces slide past each other |
Normal | | Inertia in motion |
Period | | The size of a given quantity - how much? how fast? how far? etc. |
Inelastic | | A term used with "energy" that implies stored energy. |
Static | | The units for mass when using an equation |
Vector | | The number of circles or cycles per unit of time |
Friction | | A term used with "friction" that implies a lack of motion |
Momentum | | The amount of time for a complete circle or cycle |
Frequency | | A type of collision where both KE and momentum are conserved |
Kilograms | | The units used to measure force |
Magnitude | | The ability to do work |
