Three fundamental properties - correct answer✔✔Mass ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




Length

Time



Mass - correct answer✔✔the amount of matter or "physical substance" which an object or
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




group of objects possesses ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




Length - correct answer✔✔the distance between two points in space ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




time - correct answer✔✔the period or interval between two events
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




Unit of mass - correct answer✔✔the kilogram||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




*on the earth, 1 kg has a weight of 9.8 newtons. this is approximately 2.2 lb.
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




Unit of length - correct answer✔✔the meter ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




*1 m is approximately 3.28 ft
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




1 m = 100 cm
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




1 km = 1000 m
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




unit of time - correct answer✔✔the second
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




*60s = 1 min etc ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




Speed - correct answer✔✔the rate at which someone or thing is able to move or operate
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||

, V=D/t



equation for speed - correct answer✔✔V=D/t ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




V=speed

D=distance

t=time



velocity - correct answer✔✔the speed of something in a given direction
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




3 ways to change velocity - correct answer✔✔1- changing speed
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




2- changing the direction
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




3- changing the direction AND speed
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




acceleration - correct answer✔✔increase in the rate or speed of something; basically how ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




quickly velocity changes (change in speed, acceleration, direction)
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




equation for acceleration - correct answer✔✔a=v/t ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




a=acceleration

v=velocity

t=time interval ||\\|//||




Newton's 1st law of motion - correct answer✔✔an object at rest stays at rest and an object
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||




upon by an unbalanced force
||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//|| ||\\|//||
