Kinematics, Energy, and Forces Final Review

Front

What is Kinematics?

Back

The branch of physics that describes the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion.

Front

What is a Force?

Back

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

Front

What is Displacement?

Back

The shortest distance from the initial to the final position of an object, including direction.

Front

What is Velocity?

Back

The speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is Acceleration?

Back

The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What does a displacement-time graph show?

Back

It shows how the position of an object changes over time.

Front

What does it mean if a car is at rest?

Back

It means the car's displacement is not changing over time.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater the force needed to change its motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration.
