Flashcard 7

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What does acceleration mean in physics?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating velocity?

Back

Velocity = Displacement / 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.

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attraction between two masses, such as the Earth and an object.

Front

What does a ticker tape measure in an experiment?

Back

A ticker tape measures the position of an object at equal time intervals.

Front

What is constant acceleration?

Back

Constant acceleration means that the rate of change of velocity is the same over time.

Front

How do you calculate the final velocity of an object with constant acceleration?

Back

Final Velocity = Initial Velocity + (Acceleration × Time).

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.
