Force & Motion

Front

What type of energy is stored in an object due to its position or height?

Back

Potential energy.

Front

What does a motion graph with a straight line indicate about the speed of an object?

Back

Constant speed.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed = total distance / total time.

Front

In a distance versus time graph, what does a steeper line represent?

Back

A faster speed.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = distance / time.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What is the unit of measurement for speed in the metric system?

Back

Meters per second (m/s).

Front

What does it mean if an object is in motion?

Back

It is changing its position relative to a reference point.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a speed-time graph?

Back

The slope represents acceleration.

Front

What is the term for the force that opposes motion between two surfaces?

Back

Friction.
