Semester Exam Review Physics

Front

What is the formula to calculate distance?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time

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 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

F = ma, where F is the net force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time

Front

What are the SI units for speed and velocity?

Back

Meters per second (m/s)

Front

What is the definition of acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time.

Front

What is the relationship between speed, velocity, and acceleration?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes direction. Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

Front

What is uniform motion?

Back

Uniform motion occurs when an object travels equal distances in equal intervals of time.
