100

Motion described as change in position with respect to a frame of reference; can be linear or angular.

What is kinematics?

100

 In projectile motion (neglecting air resistance), what is true about horizontal and vertical motions after release?

What is vertical motion is independent of horizontal motion?

100

Angular displacement unit used often in physics besides degrees and revolutions.

What is radians?

100

Kinetics studies these; examples in running include forces between feet and ground and muscle contraction.

What are forces (causes of motion)?

100

Overall motion used in a movement, described by linear or angular motion of body segments.

What is range of motion?

200

Quantity defined by magnitude only (examples: temperature, mass, distance).

What is Scalar?
200

 For a ball tossed up at +10 m/s and caught at same height, what is the velocity upon return (neglecting air resistance)?

What is -10 m/s?

200

Angular analogue of linear velocity

What is Angular Velocity?

200

Newton-based principle stating unbalanced forces act on bodies when we create or modify movement

What is the Force–Motion Principle?

200

Ability to control your body’s position relative to its base of support.

What is balance?

300

Quantity that has both magnitude and direction; examples include velocity and displacement.

300

Name the angular quantity analogous to linear acceleration.

What is angular acceleration?

300

Principle that heavier objects resist changes in motion more than lighter ones.

What is Inertia?

300

Principle describing the optimal release angle to achieve a specific goal

What is Optimal Projection?

400

400

Principle describing transformation of forces between linked body segments.

What is segmental Interaction?

400

A change in position with respect to some frame of reference

What is Motion?

500

The second derivative of displacement or the rate of change of velocity; units m/s^2 and caused by unbalanced forces.

What is acceleration?

500

What is Mass?

500

Angle between two angles that can move

What is a Relative angle?

500

Principle stating the longer a force is applied, the greater the impulse and resulting motion

500

Description of angular motion or rotation
