Question | Answer |
---|---|
Slipping | when a spinning object makes contact with another surface, yet continues to spin, all the while remaining in place. |
Rolling | when a rotating object in contact with a surface moves along that surface in a straight line. |
Angular acceleration | when a spinning object undergoes a change in RPM or angular velocity |
Newton’s 1st Law of Motion | object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a force external to the object, and conversely, an object in motion will remain in motion unless also acted upon by an outside force. |
Inertia | The resistance of an object to changes in position or velocity. |
Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion | the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net or total force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the object’s mass. |
Mass | A measure of the amount of matter an object possesses. |
Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion | all forces exist in pairs and these two forces must be equal but opposite in direction. |
Center of gravity | an imaginary point where the weight of the object can be thought of as being concentrated. |
Friction | the force that opposes an object’s motion. |
Force | Anything that causes the motion of a physical system to change. |
Static friction | the force that prevents an object from moving in response to a push or a pull. |
Kinetic friction | The frictional force between two objects which are in relative motion and in contact with each other. |
Traction | Kinetic friction between a drive member and the driving surface. |
Torque | A force applied at a distance from an axis of rotation. |
Stall torque | A torque value large enough to cause a motor to stop running. |
Joule | The unit for work. |
Deadband | area where rotational speed is zero. |
