Chapter 10 Vocabulary
Acceleration
the rate at which velocity changes over time (Δv/t)
Balanced forces
a state in which the net force acting on an object is zero creating no change
in motion
Displacement
the change in position of an object
Distance
the actual amount of length traveled or ground covered during a motion
Force
an action exerted on a body in order to change its state of rest or motion
Friction
a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact
Kinetic Friction
the force that opposes the movement of two surfaces that are in contact and
are moving over each other
Motion
an object’s change in position relative to a reference point
Net force
the combination of all forces acting on an object
Reference Point
a stationary object used to determine if another object is in motion
Rolling Friction
a type of friction that occurs when objects slide past each other
Sliding Friction
a type of friction that occurs when round objects roll over flat surfaces
Speed
the distance traveled by an object divided by the time it took the motion to
occur (d/t)
Static Friction
a type of friction that resists the initiation of motion between two surfaces
that are in contact and at rest
Unbalanced Forces a state in which the net force acting on an object does not equal zero causing
motion to occur in the direction of the greatest force
Velocity
the speed of an object in a particular direction
Peer Tutoring Tracking Sheet
As you study, keep track of the words you are getting right and wrong so you will know which ones you will need to
spend the most time studying. To do this, place a tally mark beside the words you incorrectly identify during peer tutoring
time. The words with the most tallies are the words you will need to spend additional time studying at home.
