Semester 1 Physical Quantities Review

Front

What is the total amount that an object moves?

Back

Distance is the total path length traveled by an object, regardless of direction.

Front

What is the measure of how hard it is to stop or turn a moving object?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, indicating how difficult it is to change its motion.

Front

What is the symbol for distance or displacement?

Back

The symbol for distance or displacement is 'x'.

Front

What is the symbol for momentum?

Back

The symbol for momentum is 'p'.

Front

What are the units for speed or velocity?

Back

The units for speed or velocity are meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is a scalar quantity representing the total path length, while displacement is a vector quantity representing the shortest path from the initial to the final position.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed is calculated using the formula: Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement and includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and momentum?

Back

Momentum is directly proportional to mass; as mass increases, momentum increases if velocity remains constant.

Front

What is the formula for momentum?

Back

Momentum (p) is calculated using the formula: p = m * v, where m is mass and v is velocity.
