1 Vocabulary Graphic Organizer #1 Motion, Force, and Simple Machines Los Angeles Pacific University NSCI 325 Vocabulary Graphic Organizer #1 Motion, Force, and Simple Machines Description of concept (in your own words) More information about concept This might include, but is not limited to, related equations, how the concept relates to real life, a diagram/drawing (created by you) and key words. Mechanics The way things move ( Trefil, & Hazen, Motions of material objects
2 2015).   Speed Speed is the distance an object travels divided by the time it takes to travel the distance ( Trefil, & Hazen, Pg.33, 2015).   A car drives at 40 MPH Velocity Has the same numerical value as speed but it includes the direction of travel A car travels at 40 MPH due west ( Trefil, & Hazen, Pg.33, 2015).   Acceleration The measurable change of the velocity. Acceleration needs to know the information about direction like velocity. Uniform Motion Traveling at a constant speed ( Trefil, & Hazen, Pg.35, 2015).   Equal distance in equal intervals of time. Newton’s First Law of Motion A moving object will continue moving in a straight line An object at rest will remain at rest unless forced to move. Newton’s Second Law of Motion When force is put onto something it will cause that object to accelerate The greater the mass of the object the more force will need to be used ( Trefil, & Hazen, Pg.39, 2015).   Newton’s Third Law of Motion For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. ( Trefil, & Hazen, Pg.41, 2015).   Force An action that maintains or alters motion ( Britannica, T. Editors of Encyclopedia, 2024). Pus or pull between objects Friction The force that resists the sliding or rolling of an object ( Britannica, T. Editors of Encyclopedia, 2024). Traction needed to walk without slipping Mass The amount of matter present in an object An object is light or heavy based on their mass. Gravity The force of attraction acting between all matter. Gravity is what keeps us walking on earth and not floating Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation The force of attraction acting between all matter. Every particle in earth attracts every other particle. Weight The force of gravity on an object Weight contrasts with your mass
3 Simple Machine: Pulley Are used to gain mechanical advantage like lifting weights ( Britannica, T. Editors of Encyclopedia, 2024). A wheel that carries a flexible rope that helps with shifting the weight of an object that helps with moving it ( Britannica, T. Editors of Encyclopedia, 2024). Simple Machine: Lever A board or bar that rests on a support that as force pushes down the lever lifts the heavy object. A lever allows a small force to lift a heavy weight ( Britannica, T. Editors of Encyclopedia, 2024). Simple Machine: Wheel and Axle A circular frame which is the wheel and a rod, the axel used to lift something up like water from a well. Another example would be a wheel and a cart for pulling things ( Britannica, T. Editors of Encyclopedia, 2024). Simple Machine: Inclined Plane Sloping surface used to raise heavy objects Using the force of gravity to help move a heavy object up or down ( Britannica, T. Editors of Encyclopedia, 2024). Simple Machine: Wedge Tapers to a thin edge and creates force in a sideways direction. Used since prehistoric times a wedge is used for splitting wood, rocks or lifting and tightening ( Britannica, T. Editors of Encyclopedia, 2024). Simple Machine: Screw Usually, circular cylinder used for fastening or for force ( Britannica, T. Editors of Encyclopedia, 2024). Can be a threaded fastener to hold two objects together.
