AP Physics Vocabulary Questions with Verified Solutions (Rated 100%)
dynamics - Answers the study of motion and of physical concepts such as force and mass
kinematics - Answers the part of dynamics that describes motion without regard to its causes
geocentric model - Answers Model of the Solar System with the Earth in the center. First created by the
Greeks.
heliocentric model - Answers earth and the other planets revolve in circular orbits around the Sun
frame of reference - Answers a choice of coordinate aces that defines the starting point for measuring
any quantity
displacement - Answers change in position
average speed - Answers the length of the path it travels divided by the total elapsed time
instantaneous velocity - Answers the limit of the average velocity as the time interval becomes
infinitesimally small
instantaneous speed - Answers a scalar quantity defined as the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity
acceleration - Answers the changing of an object's velocity with time
instantaneous acceleration - Answers the limit of the average acceleration as the time interval goes to
zero
motion diagram - Answers a representation of a moving object as successive time intervals, with velocity
and acceleration vectors sketched at each position
free-fall acceleration - Answers any object moving freely under the influence of gravity alone, regardless
of its initial motion
projectile motion - Answers objects that move in both the x and y directions simultaneously under
constant acceleration
field forces - Answers a mass at one location affects themotion of a distant object despite no evident
physical connection between the two objects
contact forces - Answers motion that is a result from physical contact between two objects
newtons first law - Answers an object moves with a velocity that is constant in magnitude and direction
unless a non-zero net force acts on it
inertia - Answers the tendency of an object to continue in its original state of motion
mass - Answers a measure of the objects resistance to changes in its motion due to a force
