| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| acceleration | change in velocity divided by the |
| speed | equals the distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel that distance |
| average speed | equals the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken to travel the distance |
| instantaneous speed | instantaneous speed the speed of an object at one instant of time |
| velocity | speed and direction of a moving object |
| kilogram (kg) | SI unit for mass; approximately 2.2 pounds |
| momentum | measure of how hard it is to stop a moving object; calculated as mass times velocity |
| mass | amount of matter in an object |
| Law of conversation of momentum | the total momentum of objects that collide with each other is the same before and after the collision |
| total distance formula | total distance = sum of all paths taken |
| acceleration formula | a = final speed - initial speed time |
| momentum formula | p = mass x velocity |
| speed formula | speed = distance time |
