6th Force and Motion

Front

What is the term for a change in the rate of motion, speed, or action?

Back

Acceleration

Front

What do we call the process of changing energy from one form to another?

Back

Energy transformation

Front

How is the average rate of speed over a set amount of time defined?

Back

Average speed

Front

What is the term for the amount of space from one place to another?

Back

Distance

Front

What is the term for energy in motion?

Back

Kinetic energy

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocity) / Time

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of an object and the square of its velocity (KE = 1/2 mv^2).
