Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is velocity? | The speed of something in a given direction |
What is speed? | Distance traveled per unit of time |
What is displacement? | The change in position from an original location |
What is distance? | The amount of ground an object has covered during its motion. |
What is acceleration. And explain all three ways an object can accelerate | Acceleration is the rate of change in an objects velocity or speed. Three ways an object can accelerate is speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. |
Explain why deceleration is also acceleration. | Deceleration is acceleration too. This is both deceleration and acceleration both ave an affect on the objects rate of speed. |
What does a flat line on a distance/time graph represent? | It means stopped. |
Greater slope up means ____________ on a distance/time graph. | fast steady speed |
Greater slope down means ____________ on a distance/time graph. | returning to stop |
What does a flat line on a velocity/time graph represent? | steady speed |
What does an upward slope on a velocity/time graph represent? | Acceleration |
What does a downward slope on a velocity/time graph represent? | Deceleration |
What does constant velocity mean? | It means moving in a straight line at a constant speed |
Tell three ways velocity can change. | It can slow down speed up up or change direction |
If an object’s mass increases, its acceleration will ______________. | Increase |
Force = _________ x ____________ | mass multiplies by acceleration |
What are unbalanced forces? | Forces that act on an object unequal. Not equal in size an/or direction |
Net force = _______________ | The sum of all objects acting on an object |
What type of force does not cause acceleration? | Inertia |
What is magnitude? | The size of something |
What is vector? | Direction of something |
Explain Newton’s First Law of Motion. | A body in motion will most likely stay in motion |
Greater mass = __________ inertia | greater inertia |
Explain Newton’s Second Law of Motion | When a net force acts on an object, the object will accelerate |
Explain Newton’s Third Law of Motion. | For every force or action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. |
What is inertia? | It means an objects motion will stay constant |
What is another name for Newton’s First Law of Motion? | The law of inertia |
What does air resistance depend upon? | Depends on the objects properties |
What is the formula for velocity | Distance divided by time |
What is the difference between speed and velocity? | Velocity is speed given in a certain direction while speed is the measure of distance traveled per unit of time. |
What is the difference between mass and weight? | Mass is the amount of matter in an object while weight is the force gravity has upon you |
How does your mass on Earth compare to your mass on the moon? | the mass on the moon is different because the moon has a weaker gravitational pull |
Explain friction. How does it affect the movement of an object? | Friction is the resistance of something depending on the surface it's being dragged upon and either slows it down or speeds it up |
How does the mass of an object affect the amount of force needed to accelerate the object? | The more mass there is the greater the force of gravity will act upon it ( pull it down ) |
Explain how to solve a vector diagram (to determine a net force). | You must look at the ways the line moves |
What are balanced forces? | A force that acts upon an object in an equal force. Do not cause a change in motion. |
