100
Speed is represented by this on a distance vs time graph.

What is slope?

100
a measure of how difficult it is to stop a moving object; equals the product of mass and velocity
What is momentum?
100

s=d/t

What is speed? 

100
potential energy is the greatest
What is at the top of the first hill on a roller coaster?
100
a push or a pull
What is force?
200

equals the total distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel the distance.

What is speed?

200
gravitational force between an object and Earth
What is weight?
200
d=s x t
What is distance traveled?
200
greatest going down the first hill
What is kinetic energy?
200
two or more forces whose effects cancel each other out and do not change the motion of an object
What is balanced forces?
300
tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion
What is inertia?
300
point in an object that moves as if all of the object's mass were concentrated at that point
What is center of mass?
300
p=mv
What is momentum?
300
pushes back on you when going through a loop or curve.
What is centripetal force?
300
states that the forces always act in equal but opposite pairs
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
400
the speed of an object at one instant of time
What is instantaneous speed?
400
two or more forces acting on an object that do not cancel, and cause the object to accelerate
What is unbalanced forces?
400
t=d/s
What is time traveled?
400
force that acts to oppose sliding between the track and the roller coaster car.
What is friction?
400
states that if the net force acting on an object is zero, the object will remain at rest or move in a straight line with constant speed.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
500
speed and direction of a moving object
What is velocity?
500
states the total momentum of objects that collide with each other is the same before and after the collision
What is law of conservation of momentum?
500
a=Sf-Si/t or a=Vf-Vi/t
What is acceleration?
500
speed of an object at one instant of time
What is instantaneous speed?
500
combination of all forces acting on an object
What is net force?
