DDMS 7th grade - Review for Forces & Motion Test

        Help!  

Question
Answer
The state in which one object’s distance from another object is changing   Motion  
🗑
A place or point used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion   Reference Point  
🗑
The distance that an object travels per unit of time   Speed  
🗑
What is the formula (equation) used to find speed   S = D/T; Speed = Distance/Time  
🗑
Tell a metric unit for speed   Km/hr; m/s  
🗑
Speed in a given direction   Velocity  
🗑
On a graph that shows Distance V/S Time, what does the slope of the line represent?   The Speed  
🗑
On a graph that shows Distance V/S Time, what does a steep slope mean?   The speed is fast  
🗑
On a graph that shows Distance V/S Time, what does a gradual slope mean?   The speed is slow  
🗑
On a graph that shows Distance V/S Time, what does a horizontal line mean?   Slope = 0, so the object is not moving.  
🗑
The rate at which the velocity of an object changes   Acceleration  
🗑
What are the three things that can cause acceleration?   Increase in speed, Decrease in speed, or Change in direction  
🗑
What is the metric unit for acceleration?   (m/s)/s or m/s^2  
🗑
What does it mean if an object has a positive acceleration?   It is speeding up  
🗑
What does it mean if an object has a negative acceleration?   It is slowing down  
🗑
What does it mean if an object has no acceleration (A = 0)?   It is moving at a constant speed  
🗑
An object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by an unbalanced force   Newton's First Law of Motion  
🗑
F = MA   Newton's Second Law of Motion  
🗑
Every Action has an equal and opposite reaction   Newton's Third Law of Motion  
🗑
How do balanced forces affect the motion of an object?   Balanced forces cause an object to move at a constant velocity  
🗑
How do unbalanced forces affect the motion of an object?   Unbalanced forces cause an object to move with positive or negative acceleration  
🗑
A push or pull on an object   Force  
🗑
The force of attraction between 2 masses   Gravity  
🗑
The force that opposes motion between 2 surfaces that are touching.   Friction  
🗑
How is the force of gravity (weight) affected when the mass of an object changes   more mass = more weight; less mass = less weight  
🗑
An equal but opposite force exerted by an object when a force acts on it   Reaction  
🗑
A boat is traveling 20km/hr toward the east. What property of the boat is being described?   Velocity (Speed & direction)  
🗑
If at train takes 6 hours to travel 240 miles, what is the average speed of the train?   Speed = 40 km/hr  
🗑
How do balanced forces affect the motion of an object?   Balanced forces cause the object to move with a constant velocity  
🗑
You apply 60N of force to move a refrigerator. If the force of friction is 45N, what is the net force acting on the refrigerator?   60N - 45N = 15N  
🗑
How does friction affect a moving object?   Friction slows down a moving object by decreasing the net force  
🗑


   

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.
