Play Turtle Diary's Fossil Words game. It is just one of many exciting and interactive science games on Turtle Diary
Words | Meaning | Example |
---|---|---|
Force | A push or pull acting on an object, causing it to accelerate or deform. | He applied a force to the door to open it. |
Motion | The change in position of an object with respect to time. | The car's motion was smooth as it glided down the highway. |
Gravity | The force that attracts two objects with mass toward each other. | The apple fell from the tree due to gravity. |
Inertia | The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. | The heavy box required a strong push to overcome its inertia. |
Friction | The force that opposes the relative motion or tendency of such motion of two surfaces in contact. | Brakes on a bicycle use friction to stop the wheel from turning. |
Velocity | The rate of change of an object's position in a particular direction. | The car reached a velocity of 60 miles per hour. |
Acceleration | The rate of change of velocity over time. | The rocket experienced rapid acceleration during liftoff. |
Mass | The amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms or grams. | The mass of the stone is 2 kilograms. |
Weight | The force exerted on an object due to gravity, typically measured in newtons or pounds. | The weight of the astronaut on the moon is less than on Earth. |
Drag | The force that opposes an object's motion through a fluid (like air or water). | Aerodynamic design reduces drag on a car. |
Tension | The force transmitted through a string, rope, or wire when it's pulled tight. | The tightrope walker maintains tension in the rope. |
Thrust | The force produced by a propulsion system, like a jet engine or rocket engine. | The rocket's thrust propels it into space. |
Equilibrium | A state in which the net force on an object is zero, resulting in no change in motion. | The book on the table is in equilibrium because it's not moving. |
Gravitational Field | The region of space around a massive object where another object will experience a gravitational force. | Planets create gravitational fields that affect nearby objects. |
Momentum | The product of an object's mass and velocity, representing the quantity of motion. | The collision resulted in a transfer of momentum between the two cars. |
Centripetal Force | A force that acts on an object moving in a circular path, directed toward the center of the circle. | The tension in a rope provides the centripetal force for a swinging pendulum. |
Kinetic Energy | The energy an object possesses due to its motion. | The moving car has kinetic energy. |
Potential Energy | The energy an object possesses due to its position or state. | The raised hammer has potential energy before it falls. |
Work | The transfer of energy to or from an object by the application of force along a displacement. | Lifting a weight requires doing work against gravity. |
Collision | An event in which two or more objects come in contact with each other, often with force. | The collision of two billiard balls caused them to scatter. |
