Motion

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Motion   a change in position  
🗑
position   the location of an object  
🗑
frame of reference   group of objects from which you can measure a position or motion (can move)  
🗑
speed   how fast an object's position changes  
🗑
velocity   measurement that combines speed & direction  
🗑
acceleration   change in velocity over time  
🗑
mass   amount of matter in an object  
🗑
momentum   comparison of mass and velocity (more an object has, the easier to move other objects)  
🗑
inertia   tendency to resist change  
🗑
Calculation of Speed   distance divided by time  
🗑
Calculation of Velocity   direction divided by time  
🗑
Calculation of Acceleration   final velocity - initial velocity divided by time  
🗑
Calculation of Momentum   mass x velocity  
🗑
Units of Distance   kilometer (km) meter (m) decimeter (dm) centimeter (cm) millimeter (mm) micrometre (micron) nanometer (nm) angstrom  
🗑
Units of Speed   miles per hour meters per second kilometers per hour  
🗑
Units of Acceleration   Meters per second squared  
🗑
Units of Momentum   kg x m/s  
🗑
Why do different frames of reference see things differently?   different perspective  
🗑
How can you be moving in one frame of reference and not in another?   ?  
🗑
Which is harder to move, a bowling ball or baseball? Why?   Bowling Ball - heavier. The more mass, the more inertia, the harder it is to move  
🗑


   

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.
