Chapter 12 Quiz Science Flashcards
Average speed
The total distance traveled divided by the total time taken
Total distance Average speed = Total time
Motion
An objects change in position relative to a reference point
Velocity
The speed of an object in a particular direction
And with a direction example south north west east
Acceleration
The rate at which velocity changes overtime and object accelerates if it speed direction or both change
What is the velocity of a plane that traveled 3000 miles from New York to California in five hours
600 mph west
What is the velocity of a car that traveled a total of 75 km north and 1.5 hours
50 km/h north
She moves 5 feet in a cartwheel then she moves Megan 3 feet and a dip lastly she Somersaults 4 feet
Displacement equals
total distance traveled equals
Displacement is six
total distance traveled is 12
Speed can be shown on a graph of blank versus blank
Blank is position
blank is time
What are the units for Acceleration
Meters per second squared
Acceleration formula
A equals final velocity minus initial velocity divided by time
