7.P.1 Review - Forces and Motion

Front

What is constant speed?

Back

Constant speed means moving at a steady rate without speeding up or slowing down.

Front

What is the formula for speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity.

Front

What does it mean when an object is decelerating?

Back

Decelerating means the object is slowing down.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is how fast an object is moving, while velocity includes direction.

Front

What is a reference point?

Back

A reference point is a stationary object used to determine if another object is in motion.

Front

What is the role of friction in motion?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on motion?

Back

Gravity pulls objects toward the Earth, affecting their motion.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull that can change the motion of an object.
