Topics covered include:
- Frame of reference
- Distance vs. Displacement
- Velocity and Speed
- Newton's Laws of Motion
- Calculating Acceleration and Force
What is the frame of reference?
A point in space used to measure motion
The speed of an object
The distance between two points
The displacement of an object
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
Distance is the total length traveled while displacement is the change in position
Distance is the change in position while displacement is the total length traveled
Distance is the speed of an object while displacement is the acceleration of an object
Distance is the time taken while displacement is the direction taken
What is velocity?
The rate of change of displacement over time
The rate of change of distance over time
The rate of change of speed over time
The rate of change of force over time
How can you represent a force using a diagram?
By drawing arrows that indicate the magnitude and direction of the force
By drawing circles that indicate the magnitude and direction of the force
By drawing lines that indicate the magnitude and direction of the force
By drawing squares that indicate the magnitude and direction of the force
What is Newton's first law of motion?
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Force equals mass times acceleration
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
What is Newton's second law of motion?
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Force equals mass times acceleration
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
What is Newton's third law of motion?
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Force equals mass times acceleration
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
What is the formula for calculating speed?
Speed = Distance/Time
Speed = Displacement/Time
Speed = Velocity/Time
Speed = Acceleration/Time
What is the formula for calculating acceleration?
Acceleration = Distance/Time
Acceleration = Displacement/Time
Acceleration = Velocity/Time
Acceleration = Force/Mass
What is the formula for calculating force?
Force = Distance/Time
Force = Displacement/Time
Force = Velocity/Time
Force = Mass x Acceleration
