Unit 4 Motion and Force Review

Front

What does the graph represent if it shows a curve that is getting steeper?

Back

Acceleration

Front

What is Newton's First Law known as?

Back

The Law of Inertia

Front

What does a position vs. time graph indicate if the line is sloping upwards?

Back

The object is accelerating/speeding up.

Front

What is happening from point A to point B if the graph shows a straight line?

Back

They are traveling at a constant speed.

Front

What does Newton's First Law state?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A push or pull on an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a position vs. time graph indicate?

Back

The object is not moving.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
