It's Natural
The study of the natural laws of the universe.
What is Physics?
This is one of the most important concepts in all of physics.
What is "All Motion is Relative"?
A physical measurement that contains both magnitude (number) and directional information.
What is Vector Quantity?
This is how you measure the speed of a moving object.
What is it when you measure the time it takes for an object to travel a certain distance?
The change in an object's velocity over time.
What is Acceleration?
The study of the earth's physical material.
What is geology?
He listed the presence of motion as one of his five arguments for the existence of God.
Who is Saint Thomas Aquinas?
A physical measurement that contains only magnitude (number) and does not contain directional information.
What is Scalar Quantity?
the two ways to express the speed of an object
What are average speed and instantaneous speed?
(final velocity - initial velocity) divided by time
What is the equation for calculating acceleration?
Defined as a change in position
What is Motion?
A point against which motion is measure
What is a reference point?
v=d/t
What is the equation for speed?
The ratio of the total distance traveled to the total time of the trip
What is average speed?
If an object is speeding up, then, its acceleration is in the same direction as its velocity. If it is slowing down, its acceleration is in the opposite direction of its velocity.
DAILY DOUBLE
What is the relationship between acceleration and velocity? (p 207 in blue)
These investigate the laws that govern space, time, forces, motion, matter, and energy.
DAILY DOUBLE
What are Physicists?
You need this in order to accurately describe motion.
What is a frame of reference?
Tells you how quickly and in what direction an object is moving in relation to a reference point.
What is Velocity?
The rate at which an object is moving at a given moment in time.
What is instantaneous speed?
This is what causes the thrill you experience when riding a roller coaster.
What is the constantly changing acceleration?
The branch of physics that deals with analyzing and understanding objects in motion, the forces applied to those objects, and the energy that exists in them.
What is The Science of Mechanics?
The distance an object travels plus the direction from the starting point.
What is displacement?
The length of a path between two points.
What is Distance?
This is what the slope of a line on a distance-time graph represents.
What is Speed?
True or False: An object can have constant speed and STILL have acceleration.
DAILY DOUBLE
TRUE
