Forces of Motion Review

Front

What is the definition of speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in miles per hour (mph) or meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed does not include direction, while velocity does.

Front

What does it mean when an object is accelerating?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity, which can involve speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the concept of constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means an object travels the same distance in equal intervals of time.

Front

What does it mean for an object to be in motion?

Back

An object is in motion if its position changes relative to a reference point.

Front

What is the significance of direction in motion?

Back

Direction indicates the path along which an object moves, which is essential for defining velocity.

Front

What is a frame of reference?

Back

A frame of reference is a system for specifying the precise location of objects in space and time.
