🗑
Speed is _______   a measure of how fast an object is moving; distance covered per unit time; always measured in terms of a unit of distance divided by a unit of time  
🗑
When you look at the speedometer of a moving car, you see the car's __________   Instantaneous speed  
🗑
what is the reason to express scientific findings mathematically?   the findings become more difficult to prove by experiment  
🗑
An object falls freely in a vacuum, its ______ does ______   Velocity increases  
🗑
With the absence of air resistance, objects fall at a constant _______   acceleration  
🗑
A ball is thrown upwards and caught when it comes back down. In the absence of air resistance, the speed of the ball, when caught would be __________   the same as the speed it had when thrown upwards  
🗑
Suppose an object is non free fall. each second the object falls how fast?   it falls with a larger distance than in the second before  
🗑
A ball is thrown straight up. at the top of its path its acceleration is ___ m/s squared?   about 10 meters per second squared

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
