Forces Lesson 1 Review

Front

What is the distance traveled by a moving object per unit of time?

Back

Speed

Front

What do we call it when an object is slowing down?

Back

Decelerating

Front

How do speed and velocity differ?

Back

Velocity includes the direction an object is traveling and speed doesn't.

Front

How do you calculate average speed?

Back

Divide total distance by total time.

Front

What do positive numbers indicate about an object's movement?

Back

The object is moving forward/east.

Front

What is the term for the rate of change of velocity?

Back

Acceleration

Front

What is the unit of speed in the metric system?

Back

Meters per second (m/s)

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the shortest path from the starting point to the endpoint.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A push or pull acting on an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma)
