| Atoms are electrically neutral because then have equal amounts of positive charge and negative charge. |
|
|
Term

|
|
Term
|
Definition

Term
| How does an electric field get stronger? |
|
Definition
The electric force decreases as the distance increases.
Soooo.... I guess the electric force increases as the distance decreases? |
|
|
Term
| What results when an object has more negative charge than positive charge? |
|
Definition
| When an object has more negative charge than positive charge it creates an unbalanced charge and it requires an electrical discharge (the process of an unbalanced electric charge becoming balanced) |
|
|
Term

|
Term
| What is the formula for momentum? |
|
Definition
Momentum= mass x velocity
or
p=m x v |
|
|
Term
| What is the formula for force? |
|
Definition
| force= mass x acceleration |
|
|
Term
| ________ is the rate of change of position in which the same distance is traveled each second. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The total distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance |
|
|
Term
| _______ is a measure of change in velocity during a period of time. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is the formula for acceleration? |
|
Definition
A= Vf - Vi over t
(in m/s2) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Speed and direction of a moving object |
|
|
Term
| ___________ is a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Does velocity change when moving in a straight line? |
|
Definition
| It can. Velocity is affected by speed and/or direction, so if the speed changes the velocity will change, even if moving in a straight line. |
|
|
Term
| What is the formula for average speed? |
|
Definition
| Average speed= distance over time |
|
|
Term
________ is the difference between the initial position and the final position of and object.
