Front

What is magnitude?

Back

A numerical value.

Front

When moving in a horizontal circular path, what direction are the centripetal force and acceleration?

Back

Towards the center of the circle.

Front

______________ indicates how far an object ends from its initial position, regardless of its total distance traveled.

Back

Displacement.

Front

To determine the acceleration of an object, look at the __________ of the velocity-time graph.

Back

Slope.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the straight line from the initial to final position.

Front

What does a velocity-time graph represent?

Back

It shows how velocity changes over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the maximum height of a projectile?

Back

Maximum Height = (Initial Velocity^2 * (sin(θ))^2) / (2 * g), where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Front

What is centripetal force?

Back

The force that acts on an object moving in a circular path, directed towards the center of the circle.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N).
