Position, Motion, Speed and Velocity

Front

What is average speed?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = distance / time.

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is a reference point?

Back

A reference point is a stationary object used to determine if something else is moving.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction).

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object, taking into account their directions.

Front

What is balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is unbalanced force?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate or change its motion.

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is the total path length traveled by an object, regardless of direction.
