Force and Motion Flashcard

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. It is measured in kilometers per hour (km/h).

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Front

What happens to an object's position when it is in motion?

Back

When an object is in motion, it is changing its position, direction, or location.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

Can you give an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A ball rolling across the ground is an example of kinetic energy.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the difference between kinetic and potential energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy based on position.

Front

What is an example of potential energy?

Back

A book sitting on a table has potential energy due to its position.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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