Question 1

speed

Answer 1

measurement of how fast an object is moving. it is the rate or unit of time at which a moving object covers distance. a fast-moving object covers a large distance in a unit of time. a slow-moving object covers a small amount of distance in the same unit of time. an object with no movement or at rest has a zero speed.

Question 2

energy

Answer 2

ability to do work or cause change; the ability to move an object some distance.

Question 3

velocity

Answer 3

speed and direction of moving objects.

Question 4

force

Answer 4

pull or push that is applied to an object.

Question 5

mass

Answer 5

amount of matter in an object.

Question 6

gravity

Answer 6

force that exists between any two objects that have mass.

Question 7

stability

Answer 7

factor that determines if an object can stay upright or remain in the same position.

Question 8

mechanical energy

Answer 8

energy that an object has because of its motion or its position.

Question 9

acceleration

Answer 9

change in the velocity (speed, direction, or both) of a body.

Question 10

kinetic energy

Answer 10

energy an object has because of its motion.

Question 11

inertia

Answer 11

object’s resistance to a change in motion.
