This is the metric unit for length.
What is METER?
This is the equation for speed.
What is DISTANCE/TIME?
To determine ______________ you calculate the change in speed per unit of time.
What is ACCELERATION?
An object is in motion if it changes position relative to this.
What is a REFERENCE POINT?
You calculate this by dividing the total distance by the total time.
What is AVERAGE SPEED?
This is why the moon is still considered to be accelerating, even if it moves at a constant speed around the Earth.
What is CHANGING DIRECTION?
The black dog is pulling the rope harder than the white dog.
What happens when the rope becomes unbalanced changes direction toward the black dog.
This is speed with direction.
What is VELOCITY?
The three ways you can accelerate.
What is INCREASING SPEED, DECREASING SPEED, and CHANGING DIRECTION?
This force that keeps a satellite in orbit.
What is centripetal force?
The average speed of a bicycle that traveled a total of 100 meters in 10 minutes.
What is 10 METERS PER MINUTE?
The two ways to graph acceleration are with distance vs. time and ...
What is SPEED VS. TIME?
A visual model that explains a relationship of Acceleration, constant speed, deceleration.
What is a speed-time graph that represents a relationship of increasing speed, constant movement, and decreasing speed?
If you drive from your house in Denver to Colorado Springs, and drive 60 meters in the first hour, 45 meters in the 2nd hour, and 30 meters in the third hour, what is your average speed?
What is
The distance ΔD traveled is D = 60 meters + 45 meters + 30 meters = 135 meters. The time Δt = 1 hr + 1 hr + 1 hr = 3 hrs x 60min/hr x 60 sec/min = 10800 seconds. Now use the formula for average speed.
s = ΔD/ Δt
s = 135 meters/10800 seconds
s = 0.0125 m/s
?
The average acceleration of a bicycle that started at the top of a hill with a speed of 4 m/s and ended at the bottom of the hill with a speed of 8 m/s if the entire ride took 2 seconds.
