General Facts
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| an object's change in position over time when compared with a reference point | motion |
| the object that appears to stay the same | reference point |
| the rate at which an object moves | speed |
| speed depends on | distance and time |
| average speed formula | total distance / total time |
| the speed of an object in a particular direction | velocity |
| the rate at which velocity changes; an object ___ if its speed and/or direction changes | acceleration |
| velocity formula | speed + direction |
| unit for acceleration | m/s/s + direction |
| formula for acceleration | final velocity - starting velocity / time |
| formula for momentum | mass x velocity |
| unit for momentum | kg x m/s direction |
| a push or pull on an object | force |
| forces have ... | size and direction |
| unit of force | newton |
| used to measure force | spring scale |
| force that results from combining all the forces exerted on an object | net force |
