Question Answer
write out the distance, speed and time triangle equation
write out the acceleration equation
what is speed? speed tells you how fast something moves. it must be given in a unit to tell you what it is measured in?
a car that travels 15 meters in one second would have a speed of what? 15m/s
what do the units m/s stand for? they stand for meters per second
the unit we usually use for a car is miles per hour what is the symbol for this? MPH
In France and other countries they use which unit to measure the distances of a car? the speed of the car is measured in kilometres per hour
what is the symbol for kilometres per hour? Km/h
on a ticker tape machine how do the dots show that the speed is going slower and faster? it shows by the dots being close together which means the speed is slow, and the further distance between the dots means the speed is going fast.
what is a independent variable? it is what you change?
what is the independent variable on the ticker tape machine? the speed of the pull
what is a dependent variable? it is what changes.
what is the dependent variable on the ticker tape machine? the spacing of the dots
what is the control variable? it is what stays the same
if smoother the surface what happens to the friction the smoother the surface there is less friction
what is the control variable on the ticker tape machine? the frequency of dots printed
state the 3 different units for speed? miles per hour, kilometers per hour and meters per second
what is meters per second in a symbol?
what does terminal velocity mean? it means constant speed.
show with drawing arrows what the size of terminal velocity looks like (arrows)? it is a constant speed so has equal arrows facing north and south.
