An object is said to be doing this if its position is changing.
What is moving?
In a particle model diagram, you draw the object as this instead of drawing the whole thing.
What is a dot (or particle)?
If you find the total length of a travel path, you are really calculating this.
What is distance?
The SI unit for time.
What are seconds?
This many stripes are on the official Hawaiian state flag.
This is any quantity that has both direction and magnitude (oh yeah!)
What is a vector?
This point on a graph is where all variables equal 0.
What is the origin?
If you do not care about distance and only want to know the difference between a starting and ending position, you are after this.
What is displacement?
The SI unit for distance.
What are meters?
The first graduating co-ed class of Damien is the class of this year.
When is 2016?
Speed with direction is known as this.
What is velocity?
This is the type of relationship two variables have if they both change the same amount between any two equal intervals.
What is a linear (or constant slope) relationship?
You start 50m ahead of a starting line and move back to 20m ahead of the starting line. Your displacement is this.
What is -30m?
The SI unit for velocity.
What are meters/second?
If a star fails to collapse into a black hole after going supernova, this is the kind of star it collapses into instead.
What is a neutron star?
The second step to any word problem is declaring these knowns and unknowns.
What are variables?
If a position time graph is consistent, linear, and positive, then its corresponding velocity time graph would be these three things (use the words we practiced to describe graphs).
What is linear, flat (not pos or neg), and consistent?
A rocket is set up to launch from 10m above the ground. It launches with an average velocity upwards of 200m/s. This is where it will be after 5 seconds of launch time.
What is 1010m upwards?
This is how many millimeters fit in a kilometer.
What is 1,000,000 mm?
This saint is known for clearing Ireland of all its snakes.
Who is St. Patrick?
The difference between two points in time is a time ___.
What is interval?
If an object's position time graph is curving, the object is doing this.
What is changing velocity?
A racecar has a velocity of 30m/s West. Over 6 seconds, it speeds up by 10m/s every second. It's final velocity is this.
What is 90 m/s West.
The practice of treating your units like variables that can be canceled out or added together is known as this.
What is dimensional analysis?
This is the current tallest building.
