|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
answers
Average Speed - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the distance an
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
object travels divided by the time the object travels
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
without regard to direction of travel
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
average speed = d/t |\ |\ |\
Velocity - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔refers to speed in a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
specific direction |\
Scalar Quantity - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔quantity
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
described simply by a numeric value and is expressed in
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
units of magnitude
|\ |\
Vector Quantity - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔quantity
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
describing the time rate of change of an object's position
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and must be expressed in both units of magnitude and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
direction of motion |\ |\
Average Velocity - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔determined by
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
averaging the initial speed and the final speed of the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
object
, Acceleration - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the rate of change |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
in velocity over a period of time
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Projectile Motion - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔it is possible
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
for an object to display two types of motion
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
simultaneously
Force - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔defined as a push or a pull
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
on an object
|\ |\ |\
Newton's First Law of Motion - CORRECT ANSWERS |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔states that the body at rest will remain at rest, and the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
body in motion will remain in motion with a constant
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
velocity, unless acted on by an unbalanced force; F=ka
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Newton's Second Law of Motion - CORRECT ANSWERS |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔the constant of proportionality is equal to the mass of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the object; F=ma
|\ |\
Newton (N) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the unit of force and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
is equal to the force necessary to accelerate a mass of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
one kilogram one meter per second per second
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
