100
A change in position over time.
What is motion?
100
This is the unit of force.
What is a Newton?
100
These two things are required for velocity.
What are speed and direction?
100
The rate at which velocity changes over time.
What is acceleration?
100
This type of graph is used to show the motion of an object and the change in speed over time.
What is a distance-time graph?
200
Location of a place or object.
What is position?
200
This is the type of force that an object exerts on another because of its mass.
What is gravity?
200
This is the equation for velocity.
What is V = distance/time and direction?
200
This is the equation for acceleration.
What is A = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time?
200
This type of graph is used to show change in acceleration over time.
What is a velocity-time graph?
300
The location of an observer who may be in motion that describes relative motion.
What is frame of reference?
300
This is the type of force when an object pushes or pulls another by touching.
What is a contact force?
300
This is my velocity if I travel 50 km north in 2 hours.
What is 25 km/hr north?
300
This is my acceleration if after sitting at a red light I speed up to a velocity of 50 m/s in 5 seconds.
What is 10 m/s ²?
300
This says an object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
What is Newton's First Law?
400
Motion that is described by a frame of reference.
What is relative motion?
400
This is the type of force that resists motion between two surfaces because they are pressed together.
What is friction?
400
This is my velocity if I run 35 km south in 5 hours.
What is 7 km / hour?
400
This is my acceleration if after sitting at a red light I speed up to a velocity of 25 m/s in 5 s.
What is 5 m/s ²?
400
This says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law?
500
This says the acceleration of an object increases with increased force and decreases with increased mass.
What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?
500
This is the type of force that keeps objects moving in a circle.
What is centripetal?
500
This is my velocity if I drive 400 km west in 8 hours.
What is 50 km/hr west?
500
This type of acceleration is a speedup in the same direction as the motion.
What is positive acceleration?
500
This is what happens to the gravitational pull an object has on another object if you decrease its mass.
What is the gravitational pull decreases?
