PHYSIC'S VOCABULARY!
INERTIA is a property of matter. Inertia is the quality that either prevents an object from moving, changing direction, changing speed, or stopping.
A FORCE is either a push or pull on an object! FRICTION is what happens when any two things rub against each other. These can be solid things, like your two hands rubbing together, or your skis rubbing on the snow, or a hammer hitting a nail, or they can be gases, like friction with theair slowing down your car, or liquids, like friction with the water slowing down a boat. MOTION is movement! MOTION is one part of what physicists call mechanics. |
