  1. the distance traveled per unit of time
    speed
  2. international system of units
    metric system;SI
  3. a change in position in relation to a reference point
    motion
  4. average speed
    total distance÷ total time
  5. velocity
    speed in a given direction
  6. the tendency of an object to resist in its motion
    INERTIA
  7. the force of gravity on a person or object on the surface of a planet
    weight
  8. Gravity depends on :
     MASS and DISTANCE
  9. a force that opposes the motion of an object [slows things down]
    friction
  10. gravity
    the attraction between 2 objects
  11. Newton's first law of motion
    an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force........an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force
  12. newtons first law of motion is also known as ....
    INERTIA
  13. the rule the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaces
    Archimede's Principle
  14. buoyancy
    the ability to float
  15. fomula for weight
    W=Mx{g}
  16. mass
    the amount of matter in an object
  17. the rule that a stream of fast moving fluid exerts less pressure than the surrounding fluid
    bernoulis princple
  18. scientific method
    process that scientists use to solve problems
  19. an object that travels around another object in space is called
    satellite
  20. a puss or pull
    force
  21. any force that causes an object to move in a circle
    centripetal force
  22. the force that pulls an object toward earth
    gravity
  23. to determine the acceleration rate of an object you must calculate the change in speed during each unit of....
    TIME
  24. rate of change in velocity (change in speed an /or direction)
    acceleration
  25. when forces are unbalanced the object
    moves
  26. when the only force acting on a falling object is gravity , the object is said to be
    in free fall
