Physics final Review

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. It is a scalar quantity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating average speed?

Back

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time

Front

What is velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is free fall?

Back

Free fall is the motion of an object under the influence of gravity only, with no air resistance.

Front

What is a scalar quantity?

Back

A scalar quantity is a physical quantity that has only magnitude and no direction, such as mass or temperature.

Front

What is a vector quantity?

Back

A vector quantity is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction, such as force or velocity.

Front

What is tension in physics?

Back

Tension is the force exerted by a rope or string when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion, calculated as KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state, commonly gravitational potential energy.
