Question | Answer |
---|---|
The change in an object's position relative to a reference point is called. | motion |
A measurement with a number and a unit is a | scalar quantity |
A measurement with a number, unit , and direction is a | vector quantity |
Distance traveled is which: scalar or vector? | scalar |
How fast an object travels is called | speed or velocity |
The equation for speed/velocity is | v=d/t (velocity= distance/time) |
Time is the independent variable (the one that is changed by the experimenter) and goes on the | x-axis |
Distance is the dependent variable (the one that changes as a result of the experiment)and goes on the | y-axis |
The steepness or tilt of the line is called the | slope |
Slope = | rise/run |
The slope of a distance-time graph is the ______of the object | velocity |
The slope of the line is | acceleration |
The area under the line is the_______ traveled | distance |
When and object is dropped and falls through the air, the motion is in the______direction | Vertical |
When an object is dropped,______ is applying a net downward force on the object | gravity |
The rate at which the object acceleration is called the | acceleration due to gravity |
If you dropped a ball vertically and threw a ball horizontally, which one would hit the floor first? | same time |
A push or pull is a | force |
What is the unit for Force? | Newton(N) |
When two or more forces act on an object at the same time, the forces combine to form a ___force. | net |
The gravitational force exerted on an object is the objects _____ | weight |
A measure of the amount of matter an object has is called | mass |
Which of Newtons law of Motion states that an object at rest wants to stay at rest and an object in motion wants to continue in motion | 1st law |
The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion (Newtons first law) is called | Inertia |
Which of Newtons law of motion state that a net force will accelerate a mass? | 2nd law |
What is the equation for Newtons Second Law of Motion | F=m*a (N) |

The product of the mass and the velocity of an object is called the | momentum |
Momentum is moving | Inertia |
The symbol for momentum | (P) |
The equation for momentum | P=m*v |
Unit for momentum | Kg=m/s |
Is momentum a vector or scalar quantity? | vector |
A force applied to an object for a certain time period is called an | impulse |
Symbol for impulse | I |
What is the equation for impulse | I=F*t |
What is the unit for impulse | Ns, Kgm/s |
During a collision, is momentum conserved? | Yes |
Using a force to move an object a certain distance is called | work |
work's equation | w=F*d |
Is work a vector or scalar | vector |
If the object does not move, has any work been performed? | No |
As distance goes up, the force required to do the same amount of work goes_______ | down |
What can be used to make work easier | simple machine |
The force that is applied to the simple machine is called the | Effort |
any sloping surface that is used to make work easier is an | inclined plane |
2 inclined plane back to back is a_____ | wedge |
an inclined plane wrapped around a rod in a spiral is a_______ | Screw |
A bar that is supported at one place while a force applied at another place is a | lever |
A grooved wheel a rope that can increase force, change the direction of the force, or both is a | pulley |
a combination of two different sized wheels that rotate together is a | Wheel and axle |
