A push or a pull. This is measured in newtons.
force
1 of 13
The maximum speed of an object, reached when the forces moving the object are balanced by it's frictional forces.
terminal velocity
2 of 13
The single force that would make an object move in exactly the same way as all the original forces acting together.
resultant force
3 of 13
This the thinking distance + braking distance and the overall distance in which it takes for the driver to react.
stopping distance
4 of 13
This is the time taken for the driver to react to a hazard.
reaction time
5 of 13
Forces in the opposite direction to motion and increase when the object moves faster.
drag forces
6 of 13
This is proportional to the force applied up to a limit but above that limit it is not proportional to the force.
extension
7 of 13
Force that resists one object moving through or over something.
frictional forces
8 of 13
A frictional force acting in the opposite direction to the movement of the object.
air resistance
9 of 13
The force of attraction between all objects. The more mass an object has, the larger this force is exerted.
gravity
10 of 13
The amount of matter an object contains which is measured in kg.
mass
11 of 13
The area of space surrounding a body in which another body experiences a force of gravitational attraction.
gravitational field
12 of 13
The total area of an object.
surface area
13 of 13
