What is Motion?
Motion is one objects distance from another is changing.
100
What is energy?
The ability to cause changes in matter.
100
What is average speed?
Total distance divided total time
100
What is slope?
It is the steepness of a line.
100
What is the X-axis be on a graph?
Time (independent variable)
200
What is Reference Point?
A place or object used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion.
200
Which type of energy is stored?
Potential Energy
200
What is velocity?
The speed the speed and direction of an object.
200
What is Acceleration?
It is the rate in which velocity changes.
200
What is the Y-axis on a graph?
Distance (dependent variable)
300
How do you determine if an object is in motion?
By using a reference point.
300
What is moving energy?
Kinetic Energy
300
True or False: Is acceleration squared?
True
300
What is Newton's first law?
An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on it.
300
What does a horizontal line mean on a distance on a distance vs. time graph?
Not Moving
400
What are the reference directions?
North, east, south, west, up and down
400
What is the formula for mechanical energy?
Kinetic plus Potential.
400
What is the formula of acceleration?
Final speed - Initial speed/ Time
400
What is Newton's Second Law?
Acceleration depends on the object's mass and the net acting on the object.
400
What does a horizontal line mean in a speed vs. time graph?
Constant Speed
500
How do you calculate speed?
Distance traveled divided by total time
500
What is the difference between a series and parallel circuit.
Series has one path, when one light goes out the circuit is broken. In parallel there are many paths, when one light goes out others stay on.
500
What is an example of Increase in speed?
Pitching a baseball
500
What is Constant Speed?
An object's speed does not increase or decrease, it stays the same.
