Force and Motion Quizs

Gravity

• The force that repels objects away from each other.

• The force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.

• The force that keeps objects in motion indefinitely.

• The force that changes the direction of an object's velocity.

Speed

• The rate at which an object changes its position.

• The distance an object travels per unit of time (distance / time = speed)

• The total distance covered by an object regardless of time.

• The acceleration of an object over a period of time.

Motion

• The change in position of an object over time.

• The force applied to an object to change its speed.

• The speed of an object in a specific direction.

• The distance traveled by an object in a straight line.

Direction

• The line or path along which something is moving, pointing, or aiming.

• A method of achieving a goal or objective.

• A specific location or place.

• A type of physical force acting on an object.

Acceleration

• A change of velocity (speed and direction)

• A constant speed in a straight line

• The total distance traveled over time

• The rate of change of temperature

Force

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

• A measure of the mass of an object.

• The energy required to move an object.

• A type of energy that can be converted into work.

Velocity

• The speed of something in a given direction.

• The rate of change of position with respect to time.

• The distance traveled divided by the time taken.

• The maximum speed an object can achieve.

Friction

• A force that acts directly against the direction of motion.

• A force that accelerates an object in motion.

• A force that increases the speed of an object.

• A force that has no effect on moving objects.

Position

• The location of an object at a particular point in time.

• The speed of an object in motion.

• The direction in which an object is moving.

• The distance traveled by an object.
