Front

What is an example of a non-contact force?

Back

Gravity, magnetism

Front

What do we solve for when calculating average speed over an infinitesimally small time period?

Back

Distance

Front

What is the formula for time?

Back

Time = Distance / Speed

Front

What is the formula for distance?

Back

Distance = Speed x Time

Front

Define average speed.

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

What is instantaneous speed?

Back

Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a specific moment in time.

Front

What is a non-contact force?

Back

A force that acts on an object without physical contact, such as gravity or magnetism.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

Front

What is the relationship between speed, distance, and time?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time
