| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is speed? | Speed is distance divided by time. |
| What is average speed? | the total distance traveled divided by the total time it take to reach the distance |
| What is instantaneous speed? | Speed at one instant of time |
| What is velocity? | Velocity is speed of an object and direction its going |
| What is a meter? | a meter is the SI unit for measurement |
| What is accelaration? | Accelaration is change in velocity divided by how long it takes for change to happen |

| What is mass? | mass is how much matter is in an object |
| What is inertia? | a restistance to change motion due to mass. |
| What is momentum? | resistance to change motion due to mass and speed |
| What does the law of Conservation of Momentum say? | it says that the total amount of momentum is constant unless an outside force like friction acts on it |
| What is a kilogram? | a unit for measuring mass |
