What is average speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. It is measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Front

What is an independent variable (IV) in an experiment?

Back

The independent variable is the factor that is changed or manipulated in an experiment to observe its effect on the dependent variable.

Front

What is a beaker used for?

Back

A beaker is a laboratory container used for mixing, stirring, and heating liquids.

Front

What effect does friction have on moving objects?

Back

Friction causes moving objects to slow down.

Front

What does mass refer to?

Back

Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms (kg).

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is a control in an experiment?

Back

A control is a standard for comparison in an experiment, which remains constant while other variables are changed.

Front

What is the role of constants in an experiment?

Back

Constants are factors that remain the same throughout an experiment to ensure that the test results are valid.
