Physic vocabulary and unknown words part 2

Key termsmeaning
motion change in position in a certain amount of time
frame of reference the background or point that is stationary; compare to describe motion between objects
kinematics study of how things move
dynamic why does something move
statics when objects are at rest and unchanging; equilibrium
linear motion moving in a straight line
angular motion an object moving in a circular motion
periodic motion repeating motion
speed rate which an object moves; speed=distance/time
constant speed speed that does not change
average speed dividing the total distance to the total time
instantaneous speed the speed an objects has for a certain amount of time in a certain point in time
displacement the distance from when an object starts and stops; displacement= final position - starting position
velocity speed in a given direction
average velocity displacement divided by time interval
Acceleration a change in rate of velocity; (final velocity - start velocity)/time
Deceleration when acceleration is negative
momentum the mass of an object times its velocity
impulse describe a time change of momentum
conservation of momentum an object's momentum is changed due to an outside force
angular momentum an object moving around a fixed point

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
