Basics of Physics

Convert the following to millimeters: 0.485 km

• 48,500 mm

• 485 mm

• 485,000 mm

• 4,850,000 mm

Newton's First Law States.......................

• Acceleration is produced when a force acts upon an object. 
• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. 
• An object at rest, stays at rest; an object in motion stays in motion.

Motion occurs when......................

• the speed of an object changes. 
• an object's distance from another object changes. 
• there is an increase or decrease in an object's speed.

What is acceleration?

• The speed and direction of an object's motion. 
• An increase or decrease in speed, or a change in direction. 
• The tendency of an object to resist change in its motion.

Inertia........................

• is the tendency of an object to resist change in its motion.
• is an increase or decrease in an object's speed. 
• is the speed and direction of an object's motion. 

• This is an example of Newton's First Law.
• This is an example of Newton's Second Law.
• This is an example of Newton's Third Law.

How do you measure wavelength?

• transverse and longitudinal

• The distance between two corresponding parts of a wave

• Crest to Trough

• From resting position, up to crest
