SOL 5.3 Motion Review

Front

What is the definition of speed?

Back

Speed is a measure of how fast an object is moving, typically expressed as distance traveled per unit of time.

Front

What type of energy do moving objects possess?

Back

Moving objects possess kinetic energy.

Front

What is the term for a push or pull that causes a change in an object's motion?

Back

A force is a push or pull that causes a change in an object's motion.

Front

How does force affect the motion of objects with the same mass?

Back

With objects of the same mass, the greater the force applied, the greater the change in motion will be.

Front

What is energy transfer and how does it affect an object's speed and direction?

Back

A transfer of energy can change an object's speed and direction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of an object; as mass increases, kinetic energy increases.

Front

What are the two main types of energy relevant to motion?

Back

The two main types of energy relevant to motion are kinetic energy and potential energy.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state.

Front

How does friction affect motion?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion, causing objects to slow down or stop.
