Big Idea 13 Forces & Motion

Air Resistance

• Changing position or moving from place to place.
• A term used to describe the electric or magnetic force exerted by oppositely charged objects or to describe the gravitational force that pulls objects toward each other.
• A kind of friction (a force that opposes motion) which occurs between air and another object.
• A type of force that moves something closer to you.

Attraction

• A type of force that moves something away from you.
• A term used to describe the electric or magnetic force exerted by oppositely charged objects or to describe the gravitational force that pulls objects toward each other.
• Objects which attracts iron toward itself.
• A pulling force between two objects. It pulls everything down to Earth.

Balanced Forces

• A type of force that moves something away from you.
• Fact of being near or close; nearness.
• A type of force that moves something closer to you.
• Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction.

Decreasing

• Becomes less in quantity, size, or intensity.
• A pulling force between two objects. It pulls everything down to Earth.
• To force away or apart.Speed The distance traveled by an object in a given amount of time.
• The location of an object in relation/proximity to a nearby object or place.

Direction

• The location of an object in relation/proximity to a nearby object or place.
• Forces that are unequal in size and may or may not be opposite in direction.
• The position toward which someone or something moves or faces.
• A type of force that moves something closer to you.

Distance

• Fact of being near or close; nearness.
• Changing position or moving from place to place.
• (North/South) Area where the magnet's power is the strongest.
• The amount of space between two points.

Force

• A push or a pull that one object exerts on another object with or without direct contact. Some examples are friction, gravity, magnetism, pushes, and pulls.
• Forces that are unequal in size and may or may not be opposite in direction.
• A pulling force between two objects. It pulls everything down to Earth.
• Becomes less in quantity, size, or intensity.

Friction

• A push or a pull that one object exerts on another object with or without direct contact. Some examples are friction, gravity, magnetism, pushes, and pulls.
• A type of force that moves something away from you.
• A force that opposes motion through direct contact.
• A kind of friction (a force that opposes motion) which occurs between air and another object.

Gravity

• A push or a pull that one object exerts on another object with or without direct contact. Some examples are friction, gravity, magnetism, pushes, and pulls.
• A type of force that moves something away from you.
• A pulling force between two objects. It pulls everything down to Earth.
• (North/South) Area where the magnet's power is the strongest.

Increasing

• A pulling force between two objects. It pulls everything down to Earth.
• To make larger or greater; add to.
• The location of an object in relation/proximity to a nearby object or place.
• Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction.
