Question
Answer
units used for force   Newtons [n]  
🗑
units used for pressure   newtons/centimeters2 [n/cm2]  
🗑
units used for area   centimeters2 [cm2]  
🗑
units used for distance   meters [m]  
🗑
units used for speed   meters/second [m/s]  
🗑
units used for reaction time   seconds [s]  
🗑
units used for velocity   meters/second [m/s]  
🗑
units used for length   meters [m]  
🗑
units used for width   meters [m]  
🗑
how are mass and weight different   mass is a measurement of matter and weight is a measurement of how gravity affects mass  
🗑
define force   a push or a pull  
🗑
whats the formula for pressure   p=f/a  
🗑
as a mass increases an objects inertia ...   increases  
🗑
define inertia   an objects resistance to a change in state of motion  
🗑
why is newtons first law also called "the law of inertia"   because newtons first law is based on the property of inertia  
🗑
what is newtons 1st law   an object in motion stays in motion, an object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an outside force  
🗑
define constant speed   a speed that doesnt change  
🗑
define instantaneous speed   a speed at a particular instant in time  
🗑
define average speed   total distance divided by total time  
🗑
can average speed and instantaneous speed be the same? when?   yes when traveling at a constant speed  
🗑
what is the distance between speed and velocity   velocity includes direction and speed does not  
🗑
-whats the speed formula -re-write it, solved for time - re-write it, solved for distance   -s=d/t -t=d/s -d=t*s  
🗑
as a driver increases his/her speed the minimum safe following distance ... ( increases or decreases)   increases  
🗑
how does talking on a cell phone affect a drivers reaction time (increases it or decreases it)   increases it  
🗑
what is the minimum safe following distance measuring   the distance traveled before a person reacts  
🗑
when measuring a reaction time, what two events are we measuring the time between   when an event occurs and when a person reacts  
🗑


   

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.
