100

An object used for comparison in order to determine motion.

What is reference point?

100
This is the formula for calculating speed.
What is distance over (divided by) time?
100
This is a push or pull of an object.
What is force?
100
This is the force that opposed motion; it tries to slow or stop motion.
What is friction?
100
This force causes an object to accelerate towards the center of a circle.
What is centripetal force?
200

When an object changes position in comparison to a reference point.

What is motion?

200
The speed a cyclist travels for 45 km in 3 hr.
What is 15km/hr?
200
This is the total force acting on an object.
What is net force?

This state has produced the most NCAA Men's Basketball Championship-winning teams.

What is California?

300

Where you are when you determine motion.

What is a frame of reference?

300
When the speed of an object stays the same.
What is constant?
300

______________  _____________ do not change an object's motion. Objects at rest will stay at rest, and object's in motion will stay in motion at a constant speed.

What are balanced forces?

300
This is the friction that occurs when you are falling through the air.
What is fluid friction (air resistance)?
300

This is recorded on a velocity vs. time graph.

What is acceleration?

What is 50 N right?
400
This is the friction that is overcome to get an object moving.
What is static friction?
400

This is recorded on a distance vs. time graph.

What is speed?

500

Phrase used to describe lower seeded teams that surprise everyone by making a deep run?

What is a Cinderella Story?

500
This is an increase or decrease in speed, or a change of direction.
