IPC Spring Final Review

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

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

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

How do you calculate force using mass and acceleration?

Back

Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a). For example, a 10 kg object accelerating at 15 m/s² has a force of 150 Newtons.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

How do you calculate time when distance and speed are known?

Back

Time = Distance / Speed. For example, if a boy walks 20 km at 4 km/h, it takes him 5 hours.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as Weight = Mass × Gravitational Acceleration (9.81 m/s² on Earth).

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.
