A
Acceleration
3
Q
How would acceleration show up on a distance time graph?
A
As a curve
4
Q
What is displacement?
A
Straight line from start to finish
5
Q

A
Takes into account entire route travelled.
6
Q
What is Newton’s first law?
A
An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force is acted upon it.
7

A
F=ma
8
Q
What is Newton’s third law?
A
Every force has an equal and opposite force.
9
Q
What is the difference between scalar and vector quantities?
A
Scalar do not have a direction, vector do (with an arrow on top).
10
Q
How do you find slope?
A
Slope= rise/run = (y1-y2) / (x1-x2)
