| What is position? | It is a point in space of an object compared to its starting point. |
| What is acceleration? | It is a change in speed over a certain time. |
| What are some examples of acceleration? | Positve (speeding up), Negative (slowing down), change direction, or have Zero (going the same speed) |
| What is deceleration? | It occurs when the change in speed or acceleration is in the negative direction |
| What is AVERAGE speed? | It is the TOTAL distance traveled divided by the TOTAL time traveled |
| What is INSTANTANEOUS speed? | A speed of an object at a specific point in its journey |
| What is slope? | The ratio of rise over run. |
| What does a steep upward slope indicate? | A greater speed |
| What does a downward slope indicate? | A speed that is slowing down |
| What is a scientific model? | Something that visually shows how one variable relates to another |
| What is a conceptual model? | It is descriptive visual like the model of the solar system |
| What is a physical model? | It is something we can feel, touch and see. They are often made as scale models |
| What is a graphical model? | It shows a graphical relationship between 2 variables |
| What is the rise? | The increase or decrease on the y axis or the dependent variable |
| What is the run? | The increase or decrease on the X axis or independent variable |
| How can you determine the speed using a position vs time graph? | You could divide the distance by the time. |
| How is a strong relationship shown on a graph? | When a small change in one variable makes a big change in another one |
| How is a weak relationship shown on a graph? | When a big change in one variable has little affect on another one |
| How is an inverse relationship shown on a graph? | When one variable increases, the other one decreases (they go in the opposite direction) |
| How can you tell when there is no relationship on a graph? | The graph looks like a collection of dots (the points are scattered) |
| If a squirrel can run 2 meters in one hour, what is his speed in meters per minute? | 0.03 meters per minute |
| If there are 2.54 centimeters in one inch, how many centimeters are there in 3.5 inches? | 8.89 centimeters |
| What is displacement? | How far away an object is from its original position |
