Term
Definition
Reference point   show
🗑
show the amount of space between two points.  
🗑
show the distance between the final and starting position  
🗑
Motion   show
🗑
show describes how fast something is moving (s= d/t)  
🗑
Velocity   show
🗑
Acceleration   show
🗑
show measures an object’s tendency to resist changing its motion. The more inertia an object has, the harder it is to start the object moving or to slow it down. Inertia depends on the amount of matter in an object, or its mass.  
🗑
show is a contact force that resists motion between two touching surfaces  
🗑
show a frictional force between air and objects moving through it  
🗑
show is the pull that all matter exerts on other matter  
🗑
show is the force of gravity on an object on the planet or moon where the object is. Weight is a force and is measured in Newton's  
🗑
show is the amount of matter in an object  
🗑
Force   show
🗑
show a push/pull that one object applies to another object that is touching it.  
🗑
show a force that one object applies to another object without touching it.  
🗑
Balanced Force   show
🗑
Unbalanced Forces   show
🗑
Newton's First Law of Motion-   show
🗑
Newton's Second Law of Motion   show
🗑
show when a force is applied on an object, an equal force is applied by the object in the opposite direction.  
🗑
show distance / time  
🗑
Average speed =   show
🗑
You are riding your bike for 15 km. It takes you half of an hour to complete the ride. What is your avenge speed? (s= d/t)   show
🗑
I drove 52 km north then turned west and drove 44 km. What is my total distance traveled?     show
🗑
Name one time that you would have a large displacement and one time you would have a displacement of 0 meters.   show
🗑
show 75.8 mi/hr (that guy is speeding)  
🗑
show 0.02 m/sec 2.22 cm/sec  
🗑
James ran the 200m dash in 25.4; what was his speed?   show
🗑
A triathlete completed the Ironman Triathlon in 7 hours, 37 minutes. What was his/her average speed over the total distance? Ironman Triathlon: 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) bicycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile (42.20 km) run   show
🗑
In the beginning of my trip I have a velocity of 12 km/h east and in the end of my trip I had a velocity of 42 km/h east. The change in velocity took a hour and a half to occur. What is my acceleration? (a=Δv/t)   show
🗑
What does a horizontal line represent on a distance-time graph?   show
🗑
What does a diagonal line rising steeply represent on a distance-time graph?   show
🗑
show Going back to start  
🗑
On which axis is time placed on a distance-time graph?   show
🗑
show Y-axis  
🗑
Mechanical Advantage =   show
🗑
Inclined plane   show
🗑
Pulley   show
🗑
show can only change the direction of the force  
🗑
show a pulley attached to the object being lifted. Decreases the force needed to lift an object but the distance over which the force acts is greater.  
🗑
show number of sections of rope pulling up the object  
🗑

🗑
show inclined plane, wedge, screw  
🗑
show Lever, wheel and axle, and pulley
