Motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is velocity? | Motion in a specific direction. |
| What is speed? | The rate of change in an object's motion over time |
| Explain displacement. | the moving of something from its place or position. |
| What is distance? | The amount of space between two or more objects |
| Explain acceleration. Tell three ways an object can accelerate. | A change in direction; speeding up, or slowing down |
| Explain why deceleration is also acceleration. | Because the speed is changing |
| What does a flat line on a distance/time graph represent? | no movement |
| Greater slope up means ____________ on a distance/time graph. | faster movement away from start |
| Greater slope down means ____________ on a distance/time graph. | faster movement towards the start |
| What does a flat line on a velocity/time graph represent? | steady speed |
| What does an upward slope on a velocity/time graph represent? | faster speed |
| What does a downward slope on a velocity/time graph represent? | slowing |
| What does constant velocity mean? | constant speed, same direction |
| Tell three ways velocity can change. | mass, speed, & direcion |
| If an object’s mass increases, its acceleration will ______________. | decrease |
| Force = _________ x ____________ | Mass x acceleration |
| What are unbalanced forces? | two forces acting on an object whose net force is equal to something other than 0. |
