Answers Side
1. Speed = distance divided by time d/t
2. Velocity = speed + direction traveled
3. Speed up, slow down, or change direction
4. Acceleration = final velocity – initial velocity
Change in time
5. S = m/s, V = m/s North, A = m/s2
6. X = time Y = distance
7. Constant Speed
Zero Speed – flat line!
8. X = time Y = speed
9. Constant Acceleration
Zero Accel = flat line
10. The force between two object that opposes the motion of
either object
11. Round objects, smoother, lubricants – oils etc.
12. Mass of objects; Distance – how close they are
13. YES – friction makes some objects go slower but they
fall at the same rate
14. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, weight is the
force that a mass applies – which is affected by gravity!
15. Mass: kilograms; Weight: newtons
16. Push or a pull
17. Newton
18. Equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions
19. A non zero net force which changes an object’s motion
20. The overall net force (add all the forces acting on an
object)
21. An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays
in motion in a straight line at a constant speed unless
acted upon by an outside force.
22. The tendency of an object to remain at rest or
motion/resistance to change in state
23. Force = mass x acceleration
24. Mass stays the same, acceleration increases
25. For every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction
26. They will both go back the same amount since they are
of the same mass and getting the same force applied to
them
27. No they do not because they are acting on different objects
