Definitions

100

The measurement of the change of position

What is displacement?

200

Velocity is a _____ quanity?

What is Vector quanity

300

An object that is only affected by gravity.

What is a projectile?

400

This points toward the center of a circular path.

What is Centripetal Acceleration?

500

The mathematical term of using the slope changes of a graph as a function of time.

What is Time Derivative?

Variables and Units

100

These are the base units of Physics.

What are m(meters), s (seconds), kg (kilograms)?

200

Typical acceleration units include?

What is m/s/s, mi/hr/s, km/hr/s, m/s²

300

This is what the symbol (delta) always means in Physics

What is the difference between final and initial?

400

These are the equations of motion

What is 

Delta d= v_i+1/2at^2

v=v_i+at

500

This is the equation when you combine the equations of motion with respect to time.

What is 

v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad

Graphs

100

An object moving at a constant rate of speed is moving in?

What is Uniform Motion

200

An estimate to find instantaneous velocity

What is the tangent line?

300

A curved line on a graph represents?

What is Non Uniform Motion.

400

The shape of the position time graph of the vertical displacement

What is a parabolic curve?

500

This is the shape of the oscillatory motion in the x- direction

What is cosine wave?

Cause and Effect

100

An event, action, or condition that produces a specific outcome

What is a cause?

200

Velocity is a quanity that refers to?

What is the rate at which an object changes it's position

300

This causes all objects in free fall to fall at the same rate of change in velocity.

What is gravity?

400

Lower friction from ice formation and wind are the causes of this object to move in Death Valley.

What are sailing stones?

500

This is the velocity of a projectile at it's max height due to gravity's constant pull

What is 0 m/s?

Calculations

100

A teacher walks 4m to the left, then 2m up, 4m right, and 2m down, what is his displacement

What is zero

200

A car travels between 2 towns 60 miles apart in 2 hours. What is its average speed?

What is 30 miles/hour. (average speed = distance/time Therefore, the average speed of the car is 60 miles/2 hours = 30 miles/hour)

300

An airplane accelerates down a runway at 3.20 m/s² for 32.8 s until is finally lifts off the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.

What is d = 1720 m

400

If a person can walk with an average speed of 5 meters/second around a circular path that has a radius of 3m, what is their acceleration?

What is 8.3 m/s²

500

Rocket-powered sleds are used to test the human response to acceleration. If a rocket-powered sled is accelerated to a speed of 444 m/s in 1.8 seconds, then what is the acceleration and what is the distance that the sled travels?

What is a = 247 m/s^s d = 400 m
