A
The force that pulls objects with mass toward one another or the ground.
What is gravitational force?
Measures the change in speed, velocity, or direction over time.
What is acceleration?
What is the difference between speed and velocity?
Velocity is different than speed because it includes a direction. Speed is a distance traveled in a certain amount of time and velocity is a distance traveled in a certain amount of time in a specific direction.

What is the maximum potential energy and lowest amount of kinetic energy?
The force of gravity is 9.8 meters/second^2.
What is the equation for gravitational force?
The force that resists the motion of an object and is caused by the rubbing of two close surfaces.
What is friction?
What is the relationship between velocity and acceleration?
Acceleration is a change in velocity over time, so acceleration includes velocity.
What is the maximum kinetic energy and the lowest potential energy?
A measure of how fast something moves.
What is speed?
stored energy due to an object's mass, height, or gravity.
What is potential energy?
How are inertia, force, and motion related?
Inertia, force, and motion are related because changes in motion are caused by forces. The motion of an object tends to remain unchanged due to its inertia, or the tendency to resist a change in motion.
The kinetic energy of the cart would increase with three people because as the mass increases, the kinetic energy increases.
How does mass effect kinetic energy?
What is the equation for speed?
energy due to an object's motion. This energy depends on an object's mass and velocity.
What is kinetic energy?
What are the roles of gravity and friction in a roller coaster ride?
Gravity is the force that is responsible for the downward motion of the car. Fiction is the force that is responsible for the cars stopping motion. The brakes rub against the track and the friction causes the car to slow down.
1/2* mass* velocity^2
What is the equation for kinetic energy?
The distance traveled in a particular direction divided by the amount of time. It measures an object's speed and direction. (25 miles per hour North).
Direction can include: North, south, east, west, up, down, left, right, forward, backward.
What is velocity?
What is mass?
What are the two types of friction that are present in a roller coaster?
Constant friction and air friction are the two types of friction present in a roller coaster. Contact friction occurs when the wheels roll on the track or the brakes slow down the coaster. Air friction or air resistance is caused when the coaster moves against the air.
