Motion
This is a stationary object which lets you know whether you're moving or not.
What is a Reference Point?
This is the speed formula.
What is S=d/t?
These are the units for measuring an object's weight.
What are Newtons?
The speed of an object at a given instant in time.
What is Instantaneous Speed?
This is the acceleration formula.
What is end speed - start speed/time
This is the energy of objects in motion.
What is Kinetic Energy?
DAILY DOUBLE!!!!
A car is driving down a freeway at 55 m/s and then 5 seconds later is going 65 m/s. Calculate the acceleration (remember to provide correct units).
This is the length of the shortest possible route between a starting and stopping point in a given direction.
What is Displacement?
This is total distance divided by total time.
What is average speed?
These are the units of acceleration if velocity is in m/s.
What is m/s^2
This is the formula for mechanical energy.
What is Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = Mechanical Energy?
This is the main reason a pendulum will slow as it swings back and forth through the air.
What is air resistance?
This is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
What is a Vector?
This is the speed in a given direction.
What is Velocity?
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
The formula for finding an object's Gravitational Potential Energy.
What is GPE = Height x Weight?
This scientist had a unit of force named after him.
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
This is the term for any quantity that indicates only magnitude, and not direction.
What is a Scalar quantity?
This is what slope represents on a distance vs. time graph.
What is the Speed?
This is energy that is stored as a result of changing an object's shape.
What is Elastic Potential Energy?
This is the formula for finding Kinetic Energy
What is KE = 1/2 x m x s^2?
This is the acceleration due to gravity on earth.
What is 9.8 m/s^2
