Module 2 Flashcards
An object changes position with respect to time and its surrounding
Motion
Motion is always measured with a _______________.
point of reference (starting point)
Enumerate the five types of motion.
- Straight Motion and Free-fall
- Projectile Motion
- Circular Motion
- Rotary Motion
- Oscillatory Motion
It is a rectilinear motion or one-dimensional motion.
Straight motion or one dimensional motion
It is a curved path under the action of gravity only.
Projectile Motion
It is the movement of an object along the circumference of a circle.
Circular Motion
It is the “spinning” motion or rotation of an object along its own axis.
Rotary Motion
It is repeating or periodic motions.
Oscillatory Motion
It is the point of origin or the final location of a moving body.
Position
It is the change in position from x1 to x2.
Displacement
It is a scalar quantity that measures how much ground an object has covered.
Distance
It is a vector quantity that refers to how far the object is from its initial position.
Displacement
It is the total distance traveled by the object to the total time taken.
Average Speed
It is the chance in position or displacement divided by the time intervals in which the displacement occurs.
Average Velocity
It is a vector quantity defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity.
Acceleration
It is a vector quantity defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity.
Acceleration
The acceleration vector is constant and lies along the line of the displacement vector so that the directions of v and a can be specified with positive and negative signs.
Uniformly Accelerated Motion
It is when an object moves in a straight line.
Linear Motion
It is when two objects move in a straight line parallel to each other.
Rectilinear Motion
It is a branch of physics under classical mechanics that deals with motion of a body considering forces and masses.
Kinematics
It is a falling body or a body thrown vertically upward or downward is a special case of uniformly accelerated motion.
Free-falling body
It is a force that exist between two different bodies.
Gravity
It is a force of attraction between two bodies and is very much independent on their mass.
Gravity
He is the first to conclude that all falling bodies, regardless of their masses, will fall with constant acceleration, denoted by G.
Galileo Galilei
