Physical Science – Chapter 3 Study Guide Answers
![Page 2: Physical Science – Chapter 3 Study Guide Answers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d6e5503460f94a5014a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Distinguish between distance and displacement. (Know the definitions)
• Distance = how far (scalar quantity)• Displacement = distance and direction of an
object (vector quantity)

Calculate the average speed of an object. (Know the equation)
• Average speed = total distance traveled divided by total time

Explain the difference between speed and velocity.
• Speed = distance an object travels per unit of time (scalar)• Velocity = speed and direction of a moving object (vector)

Describe how acceleration, time and velocity are related.
• Acceleration = change in velocity over time• Acceleration = final velocity minus initial velocity divided by time
![Page 6: Physical Science – Chapter 3 Study Guide Answers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d6e5503460f94a5014a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Explain how positive and negative acceleration affect motion.
• Positive acceleration = speeding up, upward movement on the graph
• Negative acceleration = slowing down, downward movement on the graph

Write equations for the displacement and velocity of an object over time.
• Velocity = displacement divided by time• Acceleration = change velocity divided by time
![Page 8: Physical Science – Chapter 3 Study Guide Answers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d6e5503460f94a5014a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Recognize and draw graphs of an objects displacement and velocity
verses time.
– Displacement vs. Time = VELOCITY GRAPH• Time Is on X—axis, Displacement is on Y-axis, Slope = velocity
– Velocity vs. Time = ACCELERATION GRAPH• Time is on x-axis, velocity is on y-axis, slope = Acceleration, area
below line is displacement

Explain how forces and motion are related.
• In order to have motion you need an unbalanced force
![Page 11: Physical Science – Chapter 3 Study Guide Answers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d6e5503460f94a5014a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Compare and contrast static friction and sliding friction.
• Static friction = frictional force prevents 2 surfaces from sliding past each other
![Page 12: Physical Science – Chapter 3 Study Guide Answers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d6e5503460f94a5014a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Compare and contrast static friction and sliding friction.
• Sliding friction = force that acts in opposite direction to the motion of a surface sliding past another surface
![Page 13: Physical Science – Chapter 3 Study Guide Answers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d6e5503460f94a5014a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Compare and contrast static friction and sliding friction.
• Same = both involve surfaces, cause friction which generates heat
• Different = Static prevents sliding, – Sliding opposite direction of motion

Describe the effects of air resistance on falling objects.
• Air Resistance is a form of friction• Caused by the interaction between an object and the
air molecules it comes into contact with
![Page 15: Physical Science – Chapter 3 Study Guide Answers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d6e5503460f94a5014a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Describe the effects of air resistance on falling objects.
• The bigger the object the more air resistance• The faster the object the more air resistance• Without air resistance all objects fall at the same acceleration

Explain what happens if 2 objects have the same speed but different
velocities.
• Objects are travelling at the same speed but moving in different directions, or changing directions
![Page 20: Physical Science – Chapter 3 Study Guide Answers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d6e5503460f94a5014a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Define balanced force, unbalanced force, and net force.
• Balanced force = forces equal in size but opposite in direction, cancel each other out
• NO CHANGE IN MOTION
![Page 25: Physical Science – Chapter 3 Study Guide Answers](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649d6e5503460f94a5014a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Define balanced force, unbalanced force, and net force.
• Unbalanced force = forces that are not equal in size and/or direction, combine to produce a net force that is not zero, can cause the motion of an object to change
