The natural force that constantly pulls all things to the Earth and affects an object's weight.
correct answers Gravity
A point where the mass of a vehicle is concentrated and balanced. The HIGHER it is, the more
unstable the vehicle becomes. The LOWER it is, the more stable the vehicle and the chances are
less likely for the vehicle to roll. correct answers Center of gravity
More = unstable
Less = stable
The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. It is needed for
traction between the tires and the road. correct answers Friction
The grip of a tire on a road. Whether driving a small go-kart or a heavy truck, _____________ is
necessary to move forward. correct answers Traction
Also known as the Law of Motion- When objects in motion ten to stay in motion with the same
speed and the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. correct answers Inertia
A car and a truck are both traveling at 50 mph, which vehicle has more momentum? correct
answers the truck
___________________ refers to the amount of motion an object has. The more mass and more
velocity, the more of it. correct answers momentum
_________________ is the energy an object has based on position, rather than motion. correct
answers Potential energy
__________________ is the energy an object possesses due to its motion and its mass. correct
answers Kinetic energy
What is an impulse? correct answers A change in momentum
Force of Impact: correct answers The force between a vehicle and an opposing force.
Time of Impact: correct answers The duration of the timespan over which the force of contact
was applied.
_______________________ is compromised by the constantly changing weight on the tire
patches. correct answers Vehicle balance
____________________ describes the transfer of vehicle weight forward or backward. correct
answers Pitch
