Physics Unit 2 Vocab
Across
- 2. Motion in which all points of a moving body move uniformly in the same direction
- 3. A hypothetical object having mass but no physical size.
- 4. In specifying motion, you must specify direction; drawn to serve as frame of reference
- 8. change in velocity divided by time taken to make the change.
- 10. A longer length of time can be divided into a number of shorter periods of time, all of the same length
- 14. Study of motion of objects and related concepts of force and energy
- 15. A physical quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction
- 18. total displacement divided by the time interval during which the displacement occurred
- 19. The change in position of an object; where you are versus where you started
- 20. the velocity of an object at some instant or specific point in its path
- 21. when the magnitude of the velocity is decreasing, and velocity and acceleration point in different directions.
Down
- 1. the acceleration at any specific time during the motion
- 5. Something having position but not spatial extent, magnitude, dimension, or direction
- 6. Description of how objects move
- 7. the point or place where something begins, arises, or is derived
- 9. the actual time taken
- 11. Magnitude (numerical value) of how fast something is moving and direction in which its moving
- 12. Total distance traveled along its path divided by time taken to travel that distance
- 13. Force and why objects move
- 16. Measurements of position, distance or speed must have this
- 17. a physical quantity that has a magnitude but no direction
