Force and Motion

Front

An object’s rate of change, calculated by dividing the total distance an object traveled by the total time it took the object to travel the distance (s=d/t)

Back

Average Speed

Front

Forces on an object that do not change the motion of the object

Back

Balanced Forces

Front

A push or pull that can change the motion of an object

Back

Force

Front

The change in an object’s position with respect to time and in comparison with the position of other objects used as reference points

Back

Motion

Front

The rate of change of position (or distance traveled) with respect to time

Back

Speed

Front

Forces on an object that cause change in the motion of the object

Back

Unbalanced Forces

Front

When an object remains in the same spot relative to another object

Back

Resting Position

Front

A graph in which the data are represented by points connected by one or more lines

Back

Line Graph

Front

A graph illustrating changes in motion that shows time on the x-axis and distance on the y-axis

Back

Distance-Time Graph

Front

A straight path that an object can move along

Back
