WGU C165 Module 3 - Forces & Motion

me for the distance traveled divided by an interval of time Volume Ans -Term for the amount of space an object occupies Liquid displacement Ans -Method of determining the volume of an object by measuring the amount of liquid it displaces direct relationship Ans -A relationship between two variables where increasing one increases the other, and vice versa inverse relationship Ans -A relationship between two variables where increasing one decreases the other, and vice versa Velocity Ans -A combination of speed and direction Acceleration Ans -Term for any change in an object's speed and/or direction Force Ans -Term for a push or a pull with direction and magnitude. You may not feel it. Net force Ans -The sum of all forces acting on an object balanced forces Ans -Term for forces that combine to produce a net force of 0 Newton's first law Ans -An object in motion remains in motion unless acted on by a net force inertia Ans -The tenancy to keep the same motion/velocity or remain at rest. Newton's first law Newton's second law Ans -Net force = mass x acceleration (F = ma) Newton's third law of Motion Ans -When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of the same magnitude in the opposite direction on the
