- Q1
Displacement
the amount of space between two objects
the process of changing position
the starting point used to describe the location of an object
distance between initial position and final position
30s - Q2
reference point
the starting point to describe the location of an object
the amount of space between two objects
the process of changing position
the difference between the initial and and final position of an object
30s - Q3
speed
the change in direction of an object
an objects resistance to change in position
the measure of distance an object travels in a unit of time
the measure of a change in velocity
30s - Q4
constant speed
the speed and direction of a given object
the rate of distance traveled each second is the same
speed at a specific instant in time
the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken to travel that distance
30s - Q5
instantaneous speed
the total distance traveled by the total time taken to travel that distance
the speed and direction of an object
the distance traveled each second remains the same
speed at a specific instance in time
30s - Q6
velocity
the measure of the distance on object travels over a unit of time
the speed and direction of an object
the position in which the the same distance is traveled each second
the speed of an object at a specific instant in time
30s - Q7
acceleration
a push or pull on an object
the measure of a change in velocity during a period of time
the measure of distance an object travels over a unit of time
the speed and direction of an object
30s - Q8
force
an object's resistance to change direction
the gravitational force exerted on an object
the amount of matter an object has
the push or pull on an object
30s - Q9
weight
the gravitational force exerted on an object
the amount of matter in an object
the push or pull on an object
a force that resists the motion of two surfaces touching
30s - Q10
friction
the gravitational force exerted on an object
a force that resists motion of two surfaces that are touching
the push or pull of an object
the amount of mass an object has
30s - Q11
balanced forces
forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero
the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
a combination of all forces
forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force not equal to zero
30s - Q12
inertia
the tendency for an object to resist a change in its motion
a measure of the change in velocity of an object
the speed and direction of an object
forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force not equal to zero
30s - Q13
An object at rest stays at rest. An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a force
Newton's First Law of Motion
The Law of Inertia
Newton's Third Law of Motion
Newton's Second Law of Motion
30s - Q14
The amount of force needed to move an object increase as the mass of an object increases
Newton's Second Law of Motion
Newton's First Law of Motion
The Law of Inertia
Newton's Third Law of Motion
30s - Q15
When an object puts force on another object, the second object exerts the same amount of force but in the opposite direction
The Law of Inertia
Newton's Third Law of Motion
Newton's Second Law of Motion
Newton's First Law of Motion
