Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 5hrs 0mins
Define motion
a change in direction
a change in temperature
a change in position
a change in size
How can motion be measured?
by calculating the weight of an object
by calculating the speed of an object
by calculating the size of an object
by calculating the length of an object
Which of the following words does NOT describe motion?
forward
backward
circular
stopped
Define velocity
speed and direction of motion
direction an object is moving
speed of an object
motion
Define acceleration
a change in motion
a change in velocity
a change in direction
stopping
Which of the following does NOT show acceleration?
speeding up
slowing down
turning right
moving at same speed & direction
What is a force?
weather
how much matter is in an object
a push or a pull
how fast an object is moving
What is inertia?
the tendency of an object to resist change to its state of motion
the tendency of an object to stop moving
the tendency of an object to start moving
the tendency of an object to turn a corner
Define the term mass
a push or a pull
the speed of an object
a force
how much matter is in an object; measured by weight
How does mass effect inertia?
less mass = greater inertia
greater mass = greater inertia
mass does not effect inertia
greater mass = less inertia
What is friction?
a force that works against moving objects
mass X velocity
a unit of measure
mass in motion
What is a Newton?
a type of cookie
mass in motion
a unit of measure for force
a moving object
What is momentum?
mass in motion; M = mass X velocity
the velocity of an object
when there is no inertia
when there is no velocity
Define gravity
change in speed
change in direction
distance divided by time
invisible force; tries to pull to objects together
What is the formula for calculating the speed of an object?
acceleration times mass
distance divided by time
mass times acceleration
mass divided by time
Which of the following describes balanced forces?
unequal forces
equal forces
the speed of an object
inertia
Which of the following describes unbalanced forces?
unequal forces
equal forces
the speed of an object
inertia
What is a reference point?
the speed when an object moves
the force that moves an object
the background used to determine motion
when an object stops moving
Three types of force are listed below. Which words represent a type of force?
applied
friction
inertia
mass
gravity
