Question
Answer
Motion   An object is in motion if its distance from another object is changing.  
🗑
Reference point   An object used for comparison  
🗑
Speed and Velocity   Speed is distance over time.  
🗑
Average speed   total distance over total time  
🗑
Instantaneous speed   The speed at the exact moment  
🗑
Velocity   Speed in a specific direction  
🗑
x axis   Time  
🗑
slope   rise over run=distance over time=speed  
🗑
y axis   distance  
🗑
acceleration   Describes a change in velocity  
🗑
acceleration   can be an increase in speed, a decrease in speed, or a change in direction.  
🗑
acceleration   final speed over time  
🗑
Velocity   Describes a change in position  
🗑
Distance over time graph   has a curved line  
🗑
Velocity over time graph   has a straight line  
🗑
acceleration   rise over run=velocity over time= acceleration  
🗑
Point on a graph   piece of data  
🗑
slope   rate of change  
🗑
Friction   The force that two surfaces exert on each other when they rub against each other.  
🗑
Friction   acts in the direction opposite to motion  
🗑
Strength of friction   depends on how hard the surfaces push together and the types of surface involved  
🗑
static Friction   acts on an object that is not moving  
🗑
Sliding friction   acts when two solid objects slide over each other  
🗑
Rolling Friction   occurs when an object rolls over a surface  
🗑
Fluid Friction   occurs when a solid moves through a fluid  
🗑
Gravity   is a force that pulls object towards each other  
🗑
The law of universal gravitation   states that the force of gravity occurs between all objects in the universe  
🗑
Air Resistance   acts opposite to weight over gravity  
🗑
Air resistance   increase as surface area increases  
🗑
Air resistance   increase as velocity increasesh  
🗑


   

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.
