Essential Vocabulary & Concepts |

Concept |
Weight
(Mass * Acceleration due to gravity) is the measure of the force of
gravity upon an object. (i.e. you weigh less on the moon, but your mass is the same.) |
|
Friction
is the force that one surface exerts
upon another. (i.e. sliding on gravel slows you down versus sliding on ice, rolling on wheels, a fluid water slide, or static: not moving). Its force always acts in the opposite direction to motion Friction's strength depends on
fluid friction: liquids and gasses sliding: when one or both surfaces are moving or rubbing together rolling: when one or both surfaces are spinning static: when neither surface is moving |
|
|
The law of universal gravitation states that the
force of gravity acts between all objects (matter) in the universe
(everything, everywhere). |
Gravity
is the force that pulls objects towards more massive things (like Earth). Gravity's strength varies by
|
|
Newton’s Second
Law of Motion states that the net
force of an object is equal to the net product of it acceleration and
its mass. (i.e. a speeding car has more impact than a blowing leaf crashing into a wall) (Force = Mass * Acceleration) |
|
Free Body
Diagrams: a standard diagram that shows all of the forces acting
on an object. The object is a box at the center with arrows pointing towards it from the direction of each force. |
|
Scientist Albert Einstein was a mathematical genius who related time, space, gravity, and mass in his theories of special relativity (Time and space) and general relativity (gravity, space, and mass.) He also defined the speed of light as a universal speed limit and related energy and matter with e=mc2. |
|
Technology Technical Drawings: communicate the measurements of things we build. Gravity Racers and the Technological Design Cycle |
|
Technology Pugh Charts: are used to check if a design meets the specifications (requirements) of a design. Usually used to compare designs (columns) against each specification (rows.) |
