Describing and Measuring Motion
Slow Motion on the Planet
Acceleration
100
This is the SI unit for length.
What is meter?
100
The Earth's crust is broken up into these
What are plates?
100
This is the rate at which velocity (speed and direction) changes
What is acceleration?
200
This is used to determine if an object is moving or not.
What is a reference point?
200
To figure the distance of the plates you must multiply the speed by this.
What is time?
200
This word means that something is moves faster than before.
What is accelerate?
300
To determine speed, you need to divide this by the time.
What is distance?
300
If a continent moves 3cm per year, how far will it move in 10,000 years?
What is 30,000cm or 300 meters?
300
If a Mustang GT 500 does 0 to 60 in 3.3 seconds, the number 60 represents this in the formula Final Speed- Initial Speed/Time
What is Final Speed?
400
To determine velocity, you need the speed and this.
What is direction?
400
This the name of the theory that attempts to explain how the continents move.
What is the Plate Tectonic theory?
400
If a Mustang GT 500 does 0 to 60 in 3.3 seconds, the number 0 represents this in the formula Final Speed- Initial Speed/Time
What is Initial Speed?
500
If the slope of a graph is a horizontal line, it shows that the distance of the runner has done this.
What is not changed?
500
In the mantle of the Earth, these cause the plates to move like they were on a tread mill.
What are convection currents?
500
If a Mustang GT 500 does 0m/s to 60m/s in 3 seconds, the rate of acceleration is this. (formula Final Speed- Initial Speed/Time) YOU MUST HAVE THE CORRECT UNIT
What is 20m/s2?
