Unit 1: Kinematics
Across
- 5. an object that travels through the air and experiences only acceleration due to gravity
- 6. refers to the interchangeability of order in a function; vector addition uses this property because the order in which vectors are added together does not affect the final sum
- 8. the magnitude of displacement between two positions
- 10. the SI base unit for time
- 12. speed in a given direction
- 13. ___ relationships can be written as y = mx + b
- 15. the location of an object at a particular time
- 17. the study of motion without considering its causes
- 19. the study of the interactions between matter and energy
- 20. the rate of change in velocity; the change in velocity over time
- 21. the SI base unit for mass
- 22. a quantity that is described by magnitude, but not direction
Down
- 1. the difference in y-value (the rise) divided by the difference in x-value (the run) of two points on a straight line
- 2. the SI base unit for length
- 3. a description of how close a series of measurements are to one another
- 4. in scientific notation the ___ is always greater than one and less than ten
- 7. a quantity that is described by both magnitude and direction
- 9. when dividing you must ___ the exponents
- 11. the change in position of an object
- 14. a ratio of equivalent measurements
- 15. created when graphing quadratic relationships
- 16. the degree to which a measured value agrees with correct value for that measurement
- 18. created when graphing inverse relationships
- 19. scientific notation is written as a ___ of two numbers
- 20. when multiplying you must ___ the exponents
- 23. resistance a frictional force that slows the motion of objects as they travel through the air; when solving basic physics problems, this is assumed to be zero
