Which term refers to the measure of how fast or slow something moves?
Speed
Which term refers to the location of an object?
Position
Which term refers to the process of changing position?
Motion
What is the definition of friction?
A type of force that occurs when one object rubs against another
True or false: Distance is the measure of how fast or slow something moves?
False
True or false: Motion is the amount of space between two objects?
False
True or false: Force is a push or pull?
True
True or false: Speed is the location of an object?
False
True or false: Friction is a type of force that occurs when one object rubs against another?
True
True or false: Balanced forces change the object's motion?
False
What are the differences between balanced forces and unbalanced forces?
Balanced forces keep an object at rest, while unbalanced forces change the object's motion. Balanced forces are equal, while unbalanced forces are not equal.
What is the difference between position and direction?
Direction tells which way something points or moves, while position refers to the specific location of an object.
Match the following physics terms with their definitions:
Distance = The amount of space between two objects Motion = The process of changing position Force = A push or pull Position = The location of an object
Match the following terms to their definitions:
Direction = Tells which way a line points from one object or place to another Speed = The measure of how fast or slow something moves Friction = A type of force that occurs when one object rubs against another Distance = The amount of space between two objects
Match the physics concepts with their definitions:
Force = A push or pull Position = The location of an object Friction = A type of force that occurs when one object rubs against another Motion = The process of changing position
Study Notes
Motion and Forces
- Speed refers to the measure of how fast or slow something moves.
- Position refers to the location of an object.
- Motion is the process of changing position.
- Friction is a type of force that occurs when one object rubs against another.
Forces
- Force is a push or pull.
- Balanced forces do not change the object's motion.
- Unbalanced forces do change the object's motion.
- The main difference between balanced forces and unbalanced forces is that balanced forces do not affect the object's motion, while unbalanced forces do.
Key Distinctions
- Position refers to the location of an object, whereas direction refers to the direction in which an object is moving.
- Distance is not a measure of speed, but rather a measure of the amount of space between two objects.
- Motion is not the amount of space between two objects, but rather the process of changing position.
- Speed is not the location of an object, but rather the measure of how fast or slow something moves.
