| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How can you describe the motion of runners in a race? | You would need distance, time, and direction. |
| What occurs when an object changes its position relative to a reference point? | motion |
| How far an object moves is? | distance |
| The SI unit for length or distance is the ______. | meter |
| Large distances are measured using _______ and small lengths are measured using ______ or _________. | kilometers, meters, centimeters |
| Any change over time is called _____. | rate |
| The SI unit for _____ is the meter and the SI unit for ______ is the second. | distance, time |
| The speed that you are going at any specific moment is called _______ speed. | instantaneous |
| If an object is moving wtih ______ speed, the instantaneous speed doesn't change. | constant |
| _____ includes the _____ of an object and the direction of its motion. | velocity, speed |
| What is acceleration? | Is the rate of change of velocity. |
| What are three ways an object can accelerate? | speed up, slow down, change direction |
| True or False: Acceleration, like velocity, had direction? | true |
| Describe positive acceleration? | If the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity, the speed increases and the acceleration is positive. |
| Describe negative acceleration? | If the speed decreases, the acceleration is in the opposite direction from the velocity, and the acceleration is negative. |
| A change in velocity can be either a change in how fast something is moving or a change in the _______ of movement? | direction |
| Any time a moving object changes direction, its _____ changes and its accelerating? | velocity |
