Force and Motion Review

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken.

Front

What information do you need to calculate average speed?

Back

You need the distance traveled and the total time taken.

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.

Front

What does it mean for an object to have constant speed?

Back

It means the object is traveling the same distance in equal intervals of time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, an object with more mass requires more force to accelerate than an object with less mass.

Front

What is a frictionless surface?

Back

A frictionless surface is an idealized surface where there is no friction acting on an object in motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force is calculated using the formula: Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m*a).

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

The relationship is described by Newton's second law, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What does a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A distance-time graph shows how the distance traveled by an object changes over time.
