motion

        Help!  

the background or object that is used for to describe the motion of a body   frame of reference  
🗑
the most common frame of reference   earth  
🗑
a change in position in a certain amount of time   motion  
🗑
rate at which an object moves ---distance traveled/time of travel   speed  
🗑
unit for measuring speed   meter(s) per second  
🗑
speed of a body does not change   constant speed  
🗑
displacement/time   average velocity  
🗑
the speed of a body and the direction it travels   velocity  
🗑
velocities that are in the same direction are combined by   adding them  
🗑
velocities that are in the opposite direction are combined by   subtract the small from the large velocity  
🗑
the change in velocity of a body or a change in direction   acceleration  
🗑
change in velocity divided by the time during which this change occurs   acceleration  
🗑
a decrease in velocity is   negative acceleration  
🗑
an increase in velocity is   positive acceleration  
🗑
negative acceleration is known as   deceleration  
🗑
An object is __________________if its position reltive to a fixed point is changing.   moving  
🗑
How fast an object is moving   speed  
🗑
Formula for average speed is   total distance / time interval  
🗑
The speed of an object at a given moment in time   instantaneous speed  
🗑
How fast an object is moving and the direction of travel   velocity  
🗑
Velocity of an object does not change over time   constant velocity  
🗑
The rate at which velocity is changing   acceleration  
🗑
acceleration formula   change in velocity / time interval  
🗑
An object moving under the influence of gravity alone is called   free fall  
🗑
The acceleration of an object in free fall is about   10 meters per second squared  
🗑
The formula for finding the weight of an object is   mass times acceleration due to gravity  
🗑
For each second of free fall, an object falls a _____________________ distance than it did in the previous second   greater distance  
🗑
On a speed -versus- time graph the slope represents speed per time, or __________   acceleration  
🗑
Air resistance noticeably ___________ the motion of things with large surface area.   slows  
🗑
meters per second squared   unit for acceleration  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
