Physics Terms Graphic Organizer

Key

Blue arrows mean terms are related by definition.

Chris Bodea, Larissa Chen, Andrew Chen, and Emily York

Green arrows mean terms are related by their formulas.

Matter

Mass

How much matter is in an object

Something that takes up space and has mass.

Acceleration

Force

Magnitude

The change in an object's velocity over time.

A push or pull on an object

The amount of something.

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Change in Velocity

_______________

Time

Magnitude is always a number.

or

F = m * a

(v2 - v1)/(t2 - t1)

Vector

Something with a magnitude and a direction

Gravity

Examples: Velocity, Momentum, Acceleration, etc.

Momentum

A force that pulls smaller objects to larger ones (usually the Earth).

An object with momentum is moving and will take force to stop.

Momentum is a quality of an object in motion

Scalar

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

or

Something with only a magnitude

p = m * v

Speed

Velocity

Examples: Speed, Time, Mass, etc.

Weight

Includes a direction

Is a vector

Does not include a direction

Is a scalar

A measure of the force of an object being pulled down by gravity.

Includes how fast an object is moving

Weight = Mass * Acceleration of Gravity

or

w = m * g

Motion

Energy

Work

Distance

A change in an object's position relative to time

The ability to do work.

A force applied over a distance that makes an object move.

The amount of space between the start and end point of an object's motion.

Work = Force * Distance

or

W = F * d

Relative

Friction

Displacement

Based off of or compared to.

A vector that shows how far out of place an object is.

A force created by the resistance between 2 objects that are either in motion or have a force being exerceted on them that is trying to put them in motion.

Static Friction

Kinetic Friction

Friction between 2 stationary objects that prevents motion.

Friction between 2 moving objects or 1 moving object and a stationary one.

Both are different types of friction

F = μkinetic N

F = μstatic N

μstatic > μkinetic

μkinetic < μstatic
