Describing Motion
This is the distance between the initial starting position and the final position.
What is displacement.
This is the equation for average speed.
What is total distance divided by total time.
This is the measure of how quickly the speed or velocity of an object changes.
What is acceleration.
This is what you put on the x-axis of distance time graph.
What is time.
This is a push or pull on an object touching another object.
What is a contact force.
This is a starting point place used to describe to position of an object.
What is a reference point.
This is the speed and direction of an object.
What is velocity.
These are the three ways an object can accelerate.
What is speeding up, slowing down, and turning.
This is what a line on a distance time graph will do if an object doesn't move.
What is go flat.
Gravitational forces depend on these two things.
What is mass and distance.
This describes an objects distance and direction from a starting point.
What is position.
This is one way you can change velocity.
What is change speed or change direction.
Give a real life example of an object that isn't accelerating.
What is completely stopped or constant speed and not turning.
When a line on a graph goes upwards to the right with a constant angle, what is the object doing?
What is going at a constant speed.
List one effect of friction.
Slowing down, stopping, opposing direction.
This is the process of changing position.
What is motion.
What is the average speed of a fox that travels 50 miles in 5 days?
What is 10 miles per day.
What is the difference between a distance time graph and a speed time graph?
Distance or speed on y-axis.
This is what forces are measured in.
What is newtons.
This object is above the world map, between the windows, and approximately 10 inches below the ceiling.
What is the speaker.
How long will it take a car traveling 25 miles per hour to go 100 miles?
What is 4 hours.
Where on a roller coaster ride would you see each of the following: slowing down, speeding up, turning?
Answers may vary.
What would a line would be almost impossible to see on a distance time graph?
A line going straight up.
When forces are unbalanced, this results.
What is movement.
