Motion Basics
This is a change in position over time.
What is motion?
This is a push or pull on an object.
What is a force?
On a distance vs time graph, this tells you speed.
What is slope?
A runner goes 100 m in 20 s. Find the speed.
What is 5 m/s?
Net force if 10 N right and 4 N left.
What is 6 N to the right?
This is distance divided by time.
What is speed?
These forces cancel each other out and result in no motion change.
What are balanced forces?
If a graph curves upward, the object is doing this.
What is accelerating?
A car travels 150 m in 10 s. Find the speed.
What is 15 m/s?
A 2 kg object accelerates at 3 m/s^2. Find the force.
What is 6 N?
This is speed with direction included.
What is velocity?
This law explains inertia.
What is Newton's First Law?
A straight line on a distance-time graph shows this type of motion.
What is constant speed?
A bike moves 60 m at 5 m/s. Find the time.
What is 12 seconds?
A 20 N force acts on a 5 kg object. Find acceleration.
What is 4 m/s^2?
This is a change in speed or direction.
What is acceleration?
This law is represented by F = ma.
What is Newton's Second Law?
If distance increases faster over time, this is happening to velocity.
What is increasing?
A car goes 15 m/s for 10 s. Find the distance.
What is 150 meters?
A 36 N force causes acceleration of 4 m/s^2. Find mass.
What is 9 kg?
From this frame of reference, you might appear not to move while riding in a car.
What is the same moving frame of reference (like another passenger)?
This law explains action and reaction forces.
What is Newton's Third Law?
If the slope keeps increasing, this type of motion is shown.
What is acceleration?
A ball moves 30 m in 5 s and 30 m in 10 s. Find average speed.
What is 4 m/s?
Explain why it is harder to push a heavier object using Newton's Second Law.
What is more mass means more inertia, so more force is needed to cause acceleration?
