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. All Motion is ______________.
What is All Motion is Relative
A physical measurement that contains both magnitude (number) and directional information.
What is Vector Quantity
The ratio of the total distance traveled to the total time of the trip.
What is Average Speed
The time rate of change of an object's velocity.
What is Acceleration
This science analyzes weather fronts, winds, humidity, cloud cover, etc.
What is Meteorology
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 rate at which an object is moving at a given moment in time.
What is Instantaneous Speed
Can either speed up or slow down an object, depending on its direction.
What is Acceleration
Defined as a change in position
What is Motion
This refers to using a reference point to detect motion.
What is a Frame of Reference
Tells you how quickly an object moves in relation to a reference point.
What is Speed
Is used to estimate values that are either higher or lower than the actual data collected.
What is Extrapolation
When an object is speeding up, the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity.
What is Positive Acceleration
These investigate the laws that govern space, time, forces, motion, matter, and energy.
What are Physicists
The distance an object travels plus the direction from the starting point.
What is Displacement
Tells you how quickly and in what direction an object is moving in relation to a reference point.
What is Velocity
The steepness of a graph line.
What is Slope
When an object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion.
What is Negative 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
A point agains which direction is measured.
What is Reference Point
The length of a path between two points.
When two or more bodies moving with some speeds are considered.
What is Relative Speed
True or False: An object can have constant speed and STILL have acceleration.
TRUE
