WGU C165 INTEGRATED PHYSICAL
SCIENCE COMPREHENSIVE EXAM
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
COMPLETE STUDY SHEET
●● Velocity
Answer: Speed in a given direction
●● Acceleration
Answer: rate of change of velocity
●● distance
Answer: How far an object moves
●● Displacement
Answer: the change in position of an object
●● Force
Answer: A push or a pull
●● net force
, Answer: The combination of all forces acting on an object
●● Newton's first law of motion
Answer: an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by
another force
●● Mass
Answer: the amount of matter in an object
●● Inertia
Answer: the tendency to keep the same motion
●● Newton's Second Law of Motion
Answer: The acceleration produced by the net force on an object is
proportional to the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass
●● Newton's Third Law of Motion
Answer: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. States
that whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second
object exerts a force of the same magnitude in the opposite direction on
the first object.
●● Friction
