(18 cards)

the branch of mechanics that studies the motion of a body without regard to what caused the motion

Front

Kinematics

Back

the variable being tested or measured during a scientific experiment.

Front

dependent variable

Back

rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time; the speed with a direction

Front

velocity

Back

graph that is able to show if an object is going backwards or forwards

Front

displacment-time graph

Back

observation to gather non-numerical data.

Front

qualitative data

Back

e measures of values or counts and are expressed as numbers

Front

Quantitative data

Back

takes place when data is collected, recorded, analyzed, and reported using appropriate metric measurement tools

Front

investigation

Back

can represent the position, velocity, and acceleration of an object at various clock readings

Front

motion map

Back

refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value

Front

accuracy

Back

refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other

Front

precision

Back

are quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction

Front

vector

Back

a variable that is kept the same during a scientific experiment.

Front

control variable

Back

graph that shows changes in velocity of a moving object over time

Front

velocity-time graph

Back

rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time

Front

acceleration

Back

the variable that is altered during a scientific experiment

Front

independent variable

Back

vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

Front

displacement

Back

quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone

Front

scalars

Back

scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.

Front

distance traveled

Back
