Front

What is motion?

Back

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of an object, including direction.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, without considering direction.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

What is static friction?

Back

Static friction is the force that keeps an object at rest and prevents it from moving.

Front

What is sliding friction?

Back

Sliding friction is the force that opposes the motion of two surfaces sliding past each other.

Front

What is centripetal force?

Back

Centripetal force is the force that keeps an object moving in a circular path.

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.
