What is the momentum formula? | mass x velocity |
What is velocity? | the speed of an object and the direction of its motion |
What is motion? | a change in objects position relative to a reference point |
What is speed? | distance an object travels per unit of time |
What is acceleration? | rate in which velocity changes |
What is displacement? | the distance and direction of the objects change in position |
What is momentum? | the product of mass and velocity |
What is a reference point? | an object that appears to stay in place |
If the tree is not moving what is the reference point? | the earth |
If the tree is moving what is the reference point? | the sun, or outer space |
Can a moving object be used as a reference point? | yes |
If police are chasing a runaway car, why is the velocity of the car important information to have? | So you know the direction the car is going, and the speed of the car, so you can trap the car. |
What is the independent variable for the car ramp lab? | height of the ramp |
What are 4 controls for the car ramp lab? | 1. Ramp surface 2. Surface of ground car goes to 3. car 4. same distance |
What is positive acceleration? | acceleration in which velocity increases |
What is negative acceleration or deceleration? | acceleration in which velocity slowed down. |
What is centripetal acceleration? | acceleration that occurs in a circular motion, always changing direction |
What are the three types of acceleration? | negative acceleration, positive acceleration, and centripetal acceleration |
