a push or a pull*force
a force that opposes motion*friction
a change in position relative to some fixed object or place known as a reference point*motion
speed and direction*velocity
occurs when an object speeds up, slows down, or turns*acceleration
the tendency of an object at rest to stay at rest and object in motion to keep moving at a constant speed in a straight line*inertia
states that that an object will remain at rest or move at a constant speed in a straight line unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force*first law of motion
states that increasing mass or acceleration will increase force, also states that increasing mass decreases acceleration and that increasing force increases acceleration*second law of motion
states that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force*third law of motion
the amount of matter in an object; this does not change*mass
a measure of the gravitational force on an object; this does change in response to changes in response to gravity*weight
a force of attraction between all objects in the universe*gravity
area where little to no matter is present*vacuum
the curved path an object follows when thrown or propelled near the surface of the Earth*projectile motion
unit of measurement for mass*kilogram
unit of measurement for weight*Newton
when a force moves an object through a distance*work
unit of measurement for work*joule
the amount of work done per unit of time*power
the unit of measurement for power*watt
a device that makes work easier*machine
the number of times a machine multiplies the effort force*mechanical advantage
the ratio of work output to work input*mechanical efficiency
two different sized wheels and turn together around the same point*wheel and axle
a rope, chain or wire wrapped around a wheel that changes the direction of the effort force, however it does not decrease the amount of force you need to lift a load*fixed pulley
a rope, chain or wire wrapped around a wheel that does not change the direction of the force, but does reduce that amount of force you need to lift a load*movable pulley
a pulley system that is made up of both fixed and movable pulleys*block and tackle
a slanted surface, or ramp*inclined plane
made of two inclined planes back-to-back*wedge
an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder*screw
a bar that is free to turn around a fixed point*lever
a fixed point on which a lever turns. Moving this part of the lever closer to the load reduces the amount of force needed to lift the load.*fulcrum
machine that combine two or more simple machines*compound machine
a set of interlocking toothed wheels that turn in opposite directions*gears
