Speed and Velocity
This is the formula for speed.
What is s=d/t?
A measure of how far apart two objects are.
What is distance?
The horizontal line with labels on a coordinate grid; often used for representing time.
What is x-axis?
Law stating that an object at rest stays at rest or an object in motion stays in motion until unbalanced forces act upon it.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion or Newton's Law of Inertia?
The overall total of forces acting on an object.
What is Net force?
A car travels a distance of 120 miles in 2 hours. What is the average speed of the car?
What is 60 mph?
The total change in position compared to the starting point.
What is displacement?
The vertical line with labels on a coordinate grid; often used for representing distance.
What is y-axis?
A push or pull that can change the motion of an object.
What is force?
Measurement of speed and direction of an object.
What is velocity?
A train moves at a constant speed of 65 mph for 3 hours. How far does the train travel?
What is 195 miles?
On a distance time graph, what does a straight, diagonal line represent?
What is the object is moving at a constant speed?
Forces on an object that do not change the motion of the object.
What are balanced forces?
Two forces are working against each other. They are pushing in opposite directions. What operation would you use to calculate the net force being acted on the object?
What is subtraction?
A car travels from point A to point B (150 miles) in 3 hours, then turns around and drives back to point A in 5 hours. What is the speed of the car?
What is 37.5 mph?
A car travels from point A to point B (150 miles) in 3 hours, then turns around and drives back to point A in 5 hours. What is the distance the car travels?
What is 300 miles?
On a distance time graph, what does a straight, horizontal line represent?
What is the object is at rest?
Forces on an object that cause change in the motion of the object.
What are unbalanced forces?
Two people are trying to move a couch. They both stand on the same side of the couch. One person is pushing the couch with 20N of force. The other person is pushing with 15N of force. What is the net force?
What is 35N of force?
A runner completes one full lap around a circular track with a radius of 35 meters in exactly 50 seconds. What is the velocity of the runner?
What is 0 m/s?
A car travels from point A to point B (150 miles) in 3 hours, then turns around and drives back to point A in 5 hours. What is the displacement of the car?
What is 0 miles?
On a distance time graph, what does a curved line represent?
What is a change in speed?
A ball rolls on the ground, gradually slows down, then completely stops. What are two forces that are acting on the ball?
What are gravity, friction...
Three people are moving a fridge. Two people are behind the fridge pushing with 20N of force. One person is in front of the fridge pulling with 15N of force. What is the Net force?
What is 55N of force?
