Team 1 Science Test

Motion Unit Test (2/14)

QuestionAnswer
TRUE OR FALSE?: Observers need to be in the same frame of reference to determine the motion of an object. Both observers need to agree that a certain point is not moving to compare the moving object to that point. True
A stationary point that allows observers to see motion because the distance between the object and stationary reference point changes. Reference Point
The distance traveled in a certain amount of time. "How fast" Speed
What is the formula for speed? Distance/time
What is the formula for distance? Speed*Time
What is the formula for time? Distance/speed
The speed at a certain instant of time. Instantaneous speed
Traveling equal distances in equal amounts of time. Constant speed
The total distance traveled in a certain amount of time. Average speed
The speed in a certain direction. "How fast and which way" Velocity
If Lauren can run 15m in 10sec, what is her speed? 1.5 m/s
How one variable changes in relation to another. Slope
What is the formula for slope? (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Covering equal distances in equal amounts of time without changing direction Constant velocity
Any change in velocity Acceleration
The three ways of __________ are speeding up, slowing down, and changing direction. Accelerating
What is the formula for acceleration? (Final velocity - Initial velocity)/ Time
What is the unit for acceleration? m/sec^2
A car accelerates from rest to a final speed of 10m/s in 5 sec. What is the acceleration of the car? 2 m/sec^2
A car speeds up from 10 m/s to 20 m/s in 4 sec. What is the acceleration of the car? 2.5 m/sec^2
A car slows down from a speed of 25 m/s to 10 m/s in 3 sec. What is the acceleration of the car? -5 m/sec^2
A car is traveling at 10 m/s. How much times will it take to accelerate to a final speed of 30 m/s if it can accelerate eat 4 m/sec^2? 5 sec
A car that is at rest begins to accelerate at 5 m/sec^2. What is the car's speed after 6 seconds? 30 m/s
A car that is traveling at 10 m/s begins to accelerate at 5 m/sec^2. What is the car's speed after 6 seconds? 40 m/s
A car accelerates from rest at 4 m/sec^2. Calculate the distance traveled and final velocity after 3 seconds. Distance: 18m Velocity: 12 m/s
If a distance vs time graph has a flat slope (horizontal line), then the object that is being graphed is ___ ______. Not moving
If a distance vs time graph has a slanted slope, then the object that is being graphed is moving at a ________ _____. Constant speed
If a distance vs time graph has a curved slope, then the object that is being graphed is ____________. Accelerating
If a velocity vs time graph has a flat slope (horizontal line), then the object that is being graphed is moving at a _______ _____. Constant speed
If a velocity vs time graph has a slanted slope, then the object that is being graphed is _____________. Accelerating
If an acceleration vs time graph has a slanted slope, then the object that is being graphed is moving at a _______ ____________. Constant acceleration

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
