Force and Motion Rev

Review for the Force and Speed

QuestionAnswer
A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change direction
In physics a force is anything that makes an object accelerate
Forces come in pairs
Forces have a magnitude and a direction
Force is represented by arrows that show magnitude and direction.
Force is measure in Newtons
If forces are balanced the object's motion doesn't change
If forces are unbalanced the object will do one of the following things Begin to move Stop moving Change direction Speed up Slow down
Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction
An unbalanced force always causes a change in motion
When unbalanced forces act in opposite directions you can find the net force by subtracting
Net force The difference between the two forces
Direction for force is determined by Direction of the largest force
Calculate speed by distance divided by time
A champion jumping frog can jump 2.5 m every 4 s. What is the jumping frog’s average speed .625m/s
Joe’s family traveled from New Jersey to Maine. The distance was 500 miles, and it took 9 hours with no stops. How fast was Joe’s family traveling? 55.5m/h
Time is graphed on the x axis
Distance is graphed on the Y axis
Position is graphed on the y axis
Speed is graphed on the y axis.
A position graph shows where the object is located at a particular time.
A distance graph shows how much distance an object has traveled in a particular time.
Motion is a change in position measured by distance and time.
Speed tells us the rate at which an object moves.
Velocity tells the speed and direction of a moving object.
Acceleration tells us the rate speed or direction changes.
On a graph of distance vs. time, a horizontal line means that the object is at rest
On a graph of distance vs. time, constant speed is shown by a diagonal straight line.
A straight horizontal line on a speed vs. time graph represents constant speed.
Distance is measured in meters (cm, km, m, mm)
Time is measured in hours, seconds, minutes, days, weeks, there are many others
Speed is represented by meters/second (m/s), kilometers/hour (km/hr), miles/hour (mi/hr) there are many others
Velocity is represented by m/s west, km/hr north, cm/s up, there are many others.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
