Describing Motion/Forces
The starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object.
What is Reference Point?
A measure of how far an object travels over time.
What is Speed?
This is the Y Axis on a Distance/Time Chart.
What is Distance?
Acceleration is
What is a change in Velocity over a change in Time?
An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless an unbalanced force acts on it.
(What Law is this)
First Law
An object’s distance and direction from a reference point.
What is Position?
Type of motion where the object does not change how fast it goes.
What is Constant Speed?
This axis shows the amount of time an object was moving?
What is the X axis?
Slowing down in called this
What is Deceleration?
Newton's 2nd Law describes the relationship between Force, _________ and Acceleration
What is Mass?
The process of changing position
What is motion?
Speed at a specific moment in time - like a cop with a radar gun.
What is Instantaneous Speed?
This two word phrase is what you call an object that is not moving.
What is "at rest"?
Speeding up is called this.
What is Acceleration?
The tendency of an object to resist a change in it's state of motion is.
What is Inertia?
The difference between the starting position and the ending position of an object.
What is Displacement?
The total distance traveled over the whole time it took to get there.
What is Average Speed?
The faster an object is moving, as shown on a Distance/Time graph, the more the line will do this.
What is become more vertical or point towards the Y axis?
When an object changes position or ________ it accelerates.
What is direction?
The name for the force of gravity that wants to pull an object in circular motion in towards the center?
What is Centripetal Force?
The Pagoda would be an example of this for someone visiting Reading for the first time to let them know where they are in the city.
What is Reference Point?
The speed and direction of a moving object.
What is Veloicity?
If a graph shows an upward curving line, this is called.
What is Acceleration?
In the formula V2 - V1/ t....this is V2
What is Final Velocity?
Newton's 3rd law that talks about action and reaction says...For ever action
What is "there is an equal an opposite reaction?"
