Motion Vocabulary
What word means how fast an object move.
What is speed?
This is measured by your car's speedometer.
What is speed?
Motion of a car if the line on the distance-time graph is horizontal (left to right only)
What is not moving?
The tendency of an object to resist motion changes. THINGS ARE LAZY AND WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE.
What is Inertia?
What word means The speed at which an object is traveling AND the direction it is traveling.
What is velocity?
What is the acceleration of a bus moving straight ahead at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour.
What is zero or NO acceleration?
Motion of a car if the line on the distance-time graph is a straight line going up.
What is moving at fast steady speed?
gravity and magnetic forces are examples of this TYPE of force (pg.31 of textbook in RED)
What is noncontact force (distance)?
The point in which you compare other objects to (Pg.6 of textbook)
What is reference point?
If I tell you I am driving 75 mph heading North, is this speed or velocity?
What is velocity?
The formula for calculating acceleration (study guide)
What is the change in velocity divided by the total time?
What is Vf - Vi / T?
Motion of a car if the line on a distance-time graph is a straight line going down.
What is returning to starting point?
Which Law of motion is this: the bigger an object, the more force needed to get it to accelerate? ie) think about pushing Mr. Heim vs a small kid)
What is The Second Law?
A push or a pull
What is force?
The unit for speed
What is m/s?
The acceleration of a car traveling at 10 meters per second that takes 20 seconds to stop.
What is 0.5 meters per second squared?
Motion of a car if the line on a distance-time graph is curving upward.
What is speeding up?
Which Law is This: For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction?
What is the Third Law?
An alien walks 20 m in 4 seconds. Find his speed.
What is 5 m/s?
The acceleration of a race car that goes from a pace car speed of 400 kilometers per second to full speed of 900 kilometers per second in 10 seconds. (900-400)/10
What is 50 kilometers per second squared?
Motion of a car if the line on a velocity-time graph is a straight line down.
What is slowing down?
This is an example of which Law: The rock was still then you come along to kick it.
What is the First Law?
