| What is a problem that some people blame on technology? | Widespread Pollution |
| Speed is _______ | a measure of how fast an object is moving; distance covered per unit time; always measured in terms of a unit of distance divided by a unit of time |
| When you look at the speedometer of a moving car, you see the car's __________ | Instantaneous speed |
| what is the reason to express scientific findings mathematically? | the findings become more difficult to prove by experiment |
| An object falls freely in a vacuum, its ______ does ______ | Velocity increases |
| With the absence of air resistance, objects fall at a constant _______ | acceleration |
| A ball is thrown upwards and caught when it comes back down. In the absence of air resistance, the speed of the ball, when caught would be __________ | the same as the speed it had when thrown upwards |
| Suppose an object is non free fall. each second the object falls how fast? | it falls with a larger distance than in the second before |
