Quizlet Study Guides
By the end of this chapter students will know
-An object’s position can be described by locating the object relative to other objects or a background.
-The description of an object’s motion from one observer’s view may be different from that reported from a different observer’s view.
-An object is in motion when its position is changing.
-The speed of an object is defined by how far it travels divided by the amount of time it took to travel that far.
-Friction is a force that acts to slow or stop the motion of objects.
-Forces have magnitude and direction.
-The net force on an object is the sum of all the forces acting on the object.
-An object at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an unbalanced force.
-An object in motion at constant velocity will continue at the same velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
