Linear Kinematics

Question 1

Kinematics

Answer 1

The form, pattern, or sequencing of movement with respect to time

Question 2

Meter

Answer 2

The most common international unit of length, on which the metric system is based

Question 3

Linear Displacement

Answer 3

Change in location, or the directed distance from initial to final location

Question 4

Distance

Answer 4

Scalar quantity for entire path of motion

Question 5

Linear Velocity

Answer 5

• The rate of change in location

- Displacement/time

Question 6

Speed

Answer 6

• A scalar quantity, defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken to cover it.
• Distance/time

Question 7

Linear Acceleration

Answer 7

• The rate of change in linear velocity

- Change in speed/time

Question 8

Instantaneous

Answer 8

Occurring during a small interval of time

Question 9

Average

Answer 9

Occurring over a designated time interval

Question 10

Projectile

Answer 10

Body in free fall that is subject only to the forces of gravity and air resistance

Question 11

Apex

Answer 11

The highest point in the trajectory of a projectile

Question 12

Trajectory

Answer 12

The flight path of a projectile

Question 13

Mass

Answer 13

Quantity of matter

Question 14

Weight

Answer 14

Amount of gravitational force exerted on a body

Question 15

Equations of Constant Acceleration

Answer 15

• v2 = v1 + at
• d = v1t + (1/2)at^2
• v2^2 = v1^2 + 2ad

Question 16

Air Resistance

Answer 16

Motion of the fluid, air, can either impede or assist motion of a body depending on the direction of flow.
