Speed Flashcards
The overall rate of speed at which an object moves calculated by dividing the total distance of an object travels by the total time
Average speed
To decide by reasoning
Conclude
To determine or identify the essential qualities or meaning of
Define
The length and direction of a straight line between starting and ending points
Displacement
The length of the past between two points
Distance
The ability to do work or cause change
Energy
A series of numbers and symbols that represent a mathematical rule
Formula
Potential energy related to an object’s height
Gravitational potential energy
The speed of an object to any given instant
Instantaneous speed
Energy that an object has due to the motion
Kinetic energy
The rule that energy cannot be created or destroyed
Law of conversation of energy
And objects combined Kinetic energy and potential energy
Mechanical energy
State in which one objects distance from another is changing
Motion
The possibilities that something will develop in a certain way
Potential
Speed energy that results from the position or shape of an object
Potential energy
A place or object used for comparison to describe the position of motion of a person or object
Reference point
The steepness of A line on a graph, equal to the vertical change divided by the horizontal change
Slope
The distance and object travels in a certain period of time without regard to direction
Speed
To convey from one person place or situation to another
Transfer
A measurable quantity that consists of both magnitude and direction
Vector
Speed in a given direction
Velocity
A word that describes what is done on an object when the force is exerted on an object that causes the object to move
Work
The rate at which velocity changes with time
Acceleration
