Fall 2024 CMS Final Review

Front

What is the formula to calculate distance when speed and time are known?

Back

Distance = Speed × Time

Front

What is a transform boundary?

Back

A place where two tectonic plates slide past each other in opposite directions.

Front

What causes a sea breeze?

Back

A sea breeze forms during the day because the land heats up faster than the ocean.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, which can involve increasing speed, decreasing speed, or changing direction.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the combination of all forces acting on an object.

Front

If a car travels at 50 miles per hour for 2 hours, what distance does it cover?

Back

100 miles

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is a divergent boundary?

Back

A divergent boundary is where two tectonic plates move away from each other.

Front

What is a convergent boundary?

Back

A convergent boundary is where two tectonic plates move towards each other, often causing one plate to be forced below the other.

Front

What is the role of friction in motion?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.
