S8P3 Milestones Review

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in miles per hour (mph) or meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, indicating how quickly an object is speeding up or slowing down.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object after all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's motion.

Front

What does balanced forces mean?

Back

Balanced forces occur when two forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, caused by the contact between two surfaces.

Front

How do you calculate distance?

Back

Distance can be calculated using the formula: Distance = Speed × Time.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, Force = Mass × Acceleration (F = ma).

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 work in physics?

Back

Work is done when a force causes an object to move. It is calculated as Work = Force × Distance.

Front

What is displacement?

Back

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of an object, including direction.
