Collision Course Final Flashcard

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time. For example, if an object travels 20 meters in 4 seconds, its speed is 20m / 4s = 5 m/s.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is speed in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the occipital lobe?

Back

The occipital lobe is responsible for visual perception and processing visual information.

Front

What are the main functions of the frontal lobe?

Back

The frontal lobe is involved in higher cognitive functions such as problem-solving, decision-making, and controlling behavior.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object, taking into account all the individual forces acting on it.

Front

What does it mean when the net force is zero?

Back

When the net force is zero, it means that all the forces acting on an object are balanced, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net force.

Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity. It is a vector quantity.
