|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resting Position | Refers to an object remaining in the same spot relative to another object.
🗑
|
||||
| Motion | The change in an object's position with respect to time and in comparison with the position of other objects used as reference points.
🗑
|
||||
| Direction | the path that an object is moving or facing.
🗑
|
||||
| Speed | The rate of change of position (or distance traveled) with respect to time; units in which speed is measured are expressed as distance per time (example: meters per second).
🗑
|
||||
| Distance-Time Graph | This type of graph illustrates changes in motion. Time is graphed on the ex-axis and distance is graphed on the y-axis
🗑
|
||||
| Line Graph | A graph in which the data are represented by points connected by one or more lines.
🗑
|
||||
| X-Axis | The horizontal line with labels on a coordinate grid; time is represented on the x-axis.
🗑
|
||||
| Y-Axis | The vertical line with labels on a coordinate grid; distance is represented on the y-axis.
🗑
|
||||
| Average Speed | Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance an object traveled by the total time it took the object to travel the distance (s=d/t). Speed describes the rate of movement.
🗑
|
||||
| Force | a push or pull that can change the motion of an object, measured with a spring scale in Newton (N) units.
🗑
|
||||
| Balanced Forces | Forces on an object that do not change the motion of the object.
🗑
|
||||
| Unbalanced Forces | Forces on an object that cause that cause change in the motion of the object.
🗑
|
||||
| Potential Energy | Energy that is stored in a system or object.
🗑
|
||||
| Kinetic Energy | Energy of motion.
🗑

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.
