Unit #1 Motion

Question 1

Independent Variable; and what axis is it on?

Answer 1

The variable that we change in the experiment; x-axis

Question 2

Dependent Variable; and what axis is it on?

Answer 2

The thing that we measure in the experiment; y-axis

Question 3

Speed Def:

Answer 3

The distance an object travels per unit of time

Question 4

Speed equation

Answer 4

S= Distance÷Total Time (S=D/T)

Question 5

Average speed equation

Answer 5

=Total distance ÷ Total time

Question 6

Time equation

Answer 6

=Distance÷Speed (T=D/S)

Question 7

Distance equation

Answer 7

= SpeedxTime (D=SxT)

Question 8

Velocity Def:

Answer 8

Speed in a given direction; The speed and direction of an object in motion; The velocity of an object can change even if the speed stays constant

Question 9

Acceleration Def:

Answer 9

The rate of change of velocity; Includes an increase in speed, decrease in speed, or change in direction of object.

Question 10

Acceleration Equation

Answer 10

A= Final velocity-initial velocity÷Time (A= Vf-Vi/T)
