Forces of Motion Review

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, calculated as speed = distance ÷ time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

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

Front

How do speed and velocity differ?

Back

Speed does not include direction, while velocity includes direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F = ma).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does a position vs time graph show?

Back

A position vs time graph shows how the position of an object changes over time.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a position vs time graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest.

Front

What does a sloped line on a position vs time graph indicate?

Back

A sloped line indicates that the object is moving at a constant speed.
