Definition

Electromagnetic: Of or relating to the interrelation of electric currents or fields and magnetic fields.

Facts

Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental interactions in nature.

Electromagnetism is the force that causes the interaction between electrically charged particles; the areas in which this happens are called electromagnetic fields.

Definition

Inertia: The resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.

Law of Inertia

The first law of motion postulates the existence of at least one frame of reference called a Newtonian or inertial reference frame.Newton's first law is often referred to as the law of inertia.

Definition

Hypothesis: A proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be put forward as a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it.

Facts

Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories. A confirmed hypothesis may become part of a theory or occasionally may grow to become a theory itself.

Velocity is the speed of something in a given direction.

Mass: body of coherent matter, usually of indefinite shape and often of considerable size.

Definition

Force: Strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement.

Definition

Sphere: A round solid surface like a ball or a globe.

Definition

Motion: The action or process of moving or being moved.

Definition

Energy: The strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity.

Definition

Gravity: The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.

Definition

Terminal Velocity: The constant speed that a freely falling object reaches when the resistance of the medium through which it is falling prevents further acceleration.
