| What is the SI unit for length? | Meter |
| What are the metric prefixes in symbols for kilo,centi, mili | Kilo(k). Centi(c). Mili(m) |
| List three types of graphs | Bar graph circle graph and line graph |
| Where is the independent variable found and the dependent variable | Independent variable, Xaxis and dependent variable Y axis |
| The SI system is based on powers of what | 10 |
| During linear motion if velocity is constant, acceleration is what | Zero |
| What is the difference between speed and velocity distance and displacement? | Speed is scalar, measurement, and velocity and vector measurement. It is concerned with magnitude and direction. |
| Explain the difference between average speed and instant instantaneous speed | Average speed is total distance overtime and instantaneous speed. Is the speed at a particular point in time. |
| What is the formula for speed? | Speed equals distance overtime |
| What is the formula for acceleration? | A equals VF minus VI over T |
| What is the formula for momentum | P equals MV |
| When can speed be constant and not equal to zero | Moving around in a circle at a constant speed |
| What opposes the sliding motion of two services that are in contact | Friction |
| When an object moves in a circular path, the net force is called what | Centripetal force |
| What term describes the tendency of an object to resist to change motion | Inertia |
| What is the maximum speed of an object will reach when falling through the air | Terminal velocity |
| If gravity is the only force acting on an object, the object is said to be called in what | freefall |
