Motion
This is the distance traveled in a certain amount of time.
What is speed?
A push or a pull on an object.
What is a force?
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
This is a measure of how hard it is to stop a moving object.
What is momentum?
The back-and-forth motion of a pendulum is called this.
What is periodic motion?
This is speed with direction.
What is velocity?
The force that pulls objects towards each other.
What is gravity?
Energy due to motion.
What is kinetic energy?
Momentum depends on these two things about an object.
What is mass and velocity?
One complete back-and-forth swing of the pendulum is called one ____?
What is a cycle?
This tells you not only how far something moved, but also in what direction?
What is displacement?
What is net force?
Stored energy due to position or condition.
What is potential energy?
Is momentum a scalar or vector quantity?
What is a vector quantity?
If you start a pendulum swinging with a small push, and then later give it a much bigger push, what property of the swing will increase the most?
What is amplitude?
An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, unless acted upon a force. This is Newton's first law, also know as the law of...
What is inertia?
The force that opposes motion when two surfaces rub against each other.
What is friction?
The energy an object has because of its height above the ground.
What is gravitational potential energy?
An object at rest has this much momentum.
What is zero momentum?
The time it takes for one complete back-and-forth swing of the pendulum.
What is the period?
If you walk 5 meters east and then 3 meters west, what is your total displacement.
What is 2 meters?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is Newton's third law.
What is action-reaction?
The standard unit for measuring energy.
What is Joules?
A small, fast car can have more of this than a large, slow truck.
What is momentum?
When a pendulum swings, it follows a curved pass called an ___?
What is an arc?
