Force and Motion

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

s = distance/time

Front

What is the unit of measurement for speed in the metric system?

Back

Meters per second (m/s)

Front

If a car travels 120 kilometers in 2 hours, what is its average speed?

Back

60 km/h

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate.

Front

What is the unit of force in the metric system?

Back

Newtons (N)

Front

What is the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force?

Back

F = m * a (Force equals mass times acceleration)

Front

If a lizard can run 8 m across the water in 4 seconds, how fast is he traveling?

Back

2 m/s

Front

What is the definition of motion?

Back

The change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity over time.
